This deserves more views/likes. Passed my written test first take with 2 wrong answers and 2 skips (one of the questions i skipped was a question on when is hand over hand steering allowed). Watching Drivers Ed Direct Driving School videos really helped. #18, #16, #14, #13, #12, #11, #10, #8, #7, #6, #3 #2 came up during my exam but phrased differently. So it's important to also listen to the explanations. In any case, for the exam, you get 3 chances. You can exhaust all your chances the same day if you want but I wouldn't recommend it especially if you are getting way less that the passing score (32/40 or 38/46, I believe). Also, if you are doing the test via a computer booth, you can skip questions (up to 3) if you absolutely dont know and it doesn't count against your overall score. Lastly, you would know if you got it right or not because it'll just move on to the next question if you do. Otherwise, a screen will come up showing you that you got it wrong and it shows you the correct answer to that question.
First of all, congrats!! Second of all, thanks for sharing your experience! It's comments like this that really help future drivers out there know what to expect on test day. Your insight is much appreciated and please stay safe out there as you continue on your life-long driving journey!
@@tigrankivranyan skip "discards" the question and gives you another question. skipped questions do not count against your score's numerator or denominator. However, you only get a max of 3 (for the 40-question exam) skips per test session.
@@DriversEdDirect all that you’re teaching is it going to be on the test and I am having trouble with the true and false questions is any way that you could help me with that
I started watching your channel yesterday and today I took the test and passed it. Thank you for your help. Some questions were almost the same using a slightly different wording. Your explanations are very comprehensive and the fact that you use some images to explain the topic in question is definitely helpful especially if you are a visual learner. My only suggestion to expand your audience is to write on the title of each video (or add some hashtag to the description) the word "California". Thanks again!
Just took the knowledge test and thought I would list all I remember. 1. A police officer has the right to know about your car insurance. What to do when car skids. 3. What other vehicles have the right to share the road with light rail vehicle. 4. When a car with high beams is coming toward you where do you look. 5. When is it OK to make a right turn. 6. When to leave a six year old child in car. 7. Tricky one: Driving on freeway see an Emergency Vehicle parked to side of road and a tow truck with flashing yellow lights What do u do. One choice was to put of emergency flashers to warn drivers behind you of the two vehicles. Another was to change lanes, and reduce speed. This was correct answer. Forget other choice. 8. When making a left turn What traffic should you yield to: traffic coming from right; traffic coming from left and 3. Traffic facing you. 3 is correct. 9. Fairly tricky one about being stopped at Railroad tracks.The lights keep flashing after train has gone by. What do you do? Responses were: Go even though lights are flashing; Check tracks and if nothing is coming for 400 ft go. Last one wait for lights to stop flashing. 10.if a driver runs from an accident where someone was seriously injured whats the penalty? 11.where to start a turn from a one way street to a one way st. 12. Which lane to go into on a right turn from2 way street. 13 what direction should wheels be when waiting to make a left hand turn. 14. 2 questions about steering wheel, 9 to 3 position and answer to other was push/pull. That's all I remember now. Will post if I remember later. Good luck.
Maureen!!! Thank you so much for all of that wonderful info - we could make an entire video on your feedback alone... who knows, maybe we will when time allows :) Thanks so much for your thoughtful giving back to the test-taking community here. We appreciate you!
@DriversEdDirect thank you.! If I remember the others will add them. The wording was tricky. Especially the one about the emergency vehicle and tow truck. Spent time on it because of emergency vehicle which was confusing. Then realized it was just parked without lights flashing. Also one of the choices was to alert other drivers with emergency flashers which gave me pause. But then there wasn't an accident. The railroad track one also had answers that were partially appropriate, like noticing no other train was coming for 400 ft which could sound like the correct choice. Also the answers for the question about vehicles that can share the streets with light rail. One answer was pedestrians and something I can't remember. The other was trucks and busses. Finally correct answer was all vehicles. Had concerns about last one but couldn't think of one that wouldn't be allowed on roads.
@DriversEdDirect remembered 2 more questions on license renewal test. 1. Hand positions on steering wheel, 9 and 3 pm and also definition of push pull. Other was about the rear wheels on a truck making a turn having a smaller rotation compared to front wheels.
finally passed my third time around thanks to your videos! the pressure really has been on for me to get on the road to start driving due to family conditions. thank you so much for these videos, liz and everyone else who produces for this channel. remember to stay safe out there
I passed my permit test yesterday. Thanks for your videos that helps me alot and i read the handbook too. The few questions that are in my exam is 1.School zone sign 2. Pedestrians is ready to cross the street and signal light is green who has right of way 3. A blind person is walking in the middle of the street so what do you do? 4. A cope give you instructions to take your car to right at the freeway and you don’t stop your vehicle. So what is the punishment of not listening your cope? 5. If the signals are not working at intersections what do you do? 6. What does red curb means? 7. What is stop signal means 8. A emergency vehicle shows emergency light or sirens what do you do? If there is no limit line or crosswalk where your vehicle stop to enter the intersection? 8. A tailgate is behind you what do you do? 9 what is the speed limit at railway ? What is the speed limit at alley? 10. You wants to make a left turn where you start your turn? 11. You are going to make a right turn so which line you enter?
Last month, I took the test 3 times, 95% from this came up to my test and I still got it wrong lol anyway I just got my 1st driver’s license last week thank a lots
Love the way you present these lessons. I'm getting near 71 and I've got to test this next month.. I'd like to think my driving ability is still more than exceptional. My pet peeves are, people that pass trucks on major highways have a tendency to slow down to damn near the speed of the truck, stacking up traffic, very noticeable on I 5 and Hwy 99. Another is people making right turns have a tendency to turn from the center of the right lane instead of moving closer to the right curb. Another is when you go to pass someone in a passing lane or on an uphill grade they will speed up. Last but not nearly the least, the lack of turn signal use. I believe that if this state is going to make some feeble attempt to encourage proper driving etiquette they should at the very least try to enforce it. Oh, another one is people that use the left lane as their own personal lane. Thanks again for the very informative and enthusiastic and oft time funny, cute presentations.
Passed my test! Ty so mch for the videos! Beware, if you are using the sample tests from the dmv at least 1/2, to even 2/3, of the questions on the actual test r NOT in the sample test qs. These videos w Liz r very important!
Thank you for making these it definitely helped me pass today with 100%!!! I have to say reading and understanding the dmv handbook is the most important thing to do ! If not I wouldn’t have passed today even after studying all these videos and others on RU-vid !
Congrats on passing with 100%, great job!! And thanks for sharing, you couldn't have said it better - reading the DMV Handbook is sooooo important and an often overlooked step by soon-to-be test takers. Nice work!!
I passed my permit test today and seeing these videos and doing the dmv practice tests helped a lot I didn’t pass my first time this is my second time I failed only because I didn’t study. I kinda still remember the questions that I had
Thank you for these videos. I only took about 5 online tests and glanced through the DMV book. But at least 5 questions on here were on my written test today in Santa Rosa, CA with 3 wrong. I passed the driving test with 6 wrong. Passed with flying colors. I'm 47 yrs old and needed it for a small car accident that put me there. 😮 But it feels great to pass❤🎉😂 Study, practice and believe in yourself.
Thank you so much, glad you think so!! If you happen to show it to a group of high school students, we would love to see a short video clip of that so we can post it on our website or social media. Thank you!!!
I really want to pass my knowledge test so I’m watching all of the videos that are about the knowledge test so I can learn more about the knowledge test and so I could get the questions right in the DMV
yes they are not kidding a hard test that it is, the last time i took the written test i aced it, but today i failed badly, i couldnt believe it and i study the handbook, they had some questions that i never seen before, by making the test much harder to pass also drives up revenue for dmv and they dont give you 5 chances to pass they give you 3, so study that handbook back and forth, good luck !
Don't be too scared, you can definitely do it! Make sure to skim the DMV handbook one last time, it will really increase your chances!! YOU'VE GOT THIS!
@@DriversEdDirect i passed!! it was terrifying because i was close to failing. i was surprised at how many times pedestrians were mentioned in the test, but i just know that they always have right of way. tysm!
wait so at 3:00 about skidding. U basically steer in the direction of the skid basically teaching us to tokyo drift on purpose. :O Also thank you for this tutorial. I'm struggling to pass my knowledge test in the second round after reapplying for testing after my first round was ruined by a lazy lady who wasted my last two lives in taking the knowledge test. But as I type this on this day, tomorrow will be the day I take my second second chance to retake the knowledge test before college starts. Wish me luck :)
Thanku, this help,even I hv 2 renewal my license wth a written test cause I'll b 74,Im Not good wth testes,even though I feel it's un fair cause I'd Never got a ticket or accident 35yrs of driving, I'm reading th book but it dr.s me coo coo cuz most th test it's not wording the same as th book , well thanku I got to pass b4 Dec 14
13:40 Hello! I wanted to know why the left is preferred to the right. Is it because the blind spot is larger in comparison? Or is there another reason?
Hello back! The main reason is that (in the U.S. at least) faster traffic drives in the left lanes, so drivers usually expect to be passed on the left side. When you pass on the right, you often times catch drivers off-guard who don't expect faster traffic to the right of them. Hope that helps!
One thing that always confuses me is that when driving on a freeway you SHOULD match the speed of traffic so you don't congest traffic, even if it's over the posted speed limit. However, I got a question wrong because it said you should always drive at the posted speed limit even if traffic is driving faster than the speed limit? Don't the 2 sentences above contradict each other? Other than that great and helpful video.
Hello and great question - this is definitely one that gets a lot of test takers. You are NEVER legally allowed to drive over the posted speed limit, even if the traffic around you is driving faster. You only go with the flow of traffic when the flow of traffic is driving within the legal speed limit. Hope that helps!
OMG i just cleared it on second attempt.On first i thought it as child play normal basic common sense question but they’re not. Just read whole book and cleared it toady. Even though you may know 70% of the things just read this books once (Washington driver guide).
Hello Caleb! Many questions are common sense for sure, especially if you have ever driven or pay attention while being a passenger in a car. However, there are definitely a handful of questions that involve fine amounts, or exact distances that can be a little tricky unless you read the DMV handbook and take practice tests. Best of luck to you!
I got questions like "When railroad didn't put gate, and red signal didn't change yet for the driver and nothing on the tracks yet", should you move after checking the left or right ?. or wait for turning signal to green. my doubt was what if signal didn't work at the time.. any thoughts
Hello, great question! According to the CA DMV, if you suspect that the railroad crossing devices are not working properly, then you should not cross and are supposed to call for emergency help. Here is the way it is worded in the DMV Handbook: *Do not go under lowering gates or around lowered gates. Flashing red warning lights indicate you must stop and wait. Do not proceed over the railroad tracks until the red lights stop flashing, even if the gate rises. If the gates are lowered and you do not see a train approaching, call the posted railroad emergency toll-free number or 9-1-1. Be ready to give a detailed description of your location.* Source: www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/laws-and-rules-of-the-road/
hey guys I have an appointment to take the permit test in the next 3weeks nov1 but it's going to be my first time hope I past it, I would come here for an update pray for me lol😍😒
Best of luck to you, we'll be pulling for you!! Besides taking a lot of these practice permit tests, make sure you study the DMV handbook too! Here are a few more playlists to help you out: ru-vid.com/group/PLSP12_67qqUwil4SBSwVz-5nNrYAUasHv ru-vid.com/group/PLSP12_67qqUxyjuZH1X_MgeTiAHUPx6bl ru-vid.com/group/PLSP12_67qqUzqj2Z7x4CPrWKVrEgRf1aF
I RECENTLY APPLIED FOR MY DL ONLINE. I DIDNT HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, I DIDNT HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS, AND I DIDNT HAVE TO STAND IN LINE. ONLINE I WAS FIRST IN LINE. ONCE COMPLETED IT ONLY TOOK 7 DAYS TO GET IT IN MY MAIL BOX. I DONT HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN TIL 2027..... IT IS WORTH DOING IT ONLINE. IM 62 YRS OLD.
CONGRATS! Yes, for many drivers who are just renewing their license, they can now do this service completely online... so nice! First time drivers will still need to go into the DMV though!
Hello! That's great question. On the computer test, you have 7 minutes to answer each question. I am not 100% sure if the 2nd test you started would count as an official attempt. With that said, the best advice I can give you is to reach out to the DMV directly, they will be able to tell you how many attempts you have left. You can call the DMV at 1-800-777-0133 or start a chat with them here: www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/contacting-dmv/ - just click on "Ask DMV" button in the bottom-right corner of the screen - I personally like the chat option, and I recommend that you request to chat with a live person. From my experience, most of the chat support specialists at the DMV are very helpful and you'll get your question answered within a few short minutes! Best of luck to you!
Hello, CONGRATS on passing! Regarding your insurance, you'll have to ask them what kind of course they would accept for proof. They should be able to provide you with a list of approved courses you can take. Hope that helps!
I got my first exam on Thursday. I did not pass because it was my first time take it and some questions I didn’t understand Also I did it practice online I did not readings book
Who will get ticket if below 16 not wearing a seat belt? 1:-Driver 2:-Parents 3:-Owner of vehicle. I passed second attempt but this question came in both attempt. I still don’t know the answer but i guess driver will. Anyone can explain.
Hello! Congrats on passing!!! The correct answer is "1: Driver" Here's what the CA DMV says specifically: You and all passengers must wear a seat belt or you and/or your passenger(s) may be cited. *If the passenger is under 16 years old, you may be cited if they are not wearing their seat belt.*
Hello! You can read the CA DMV Handbook online here: www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/ They have many language options available. The also have it available as a PDF here, it looks more like the paperback version and I like it a bit more: www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/file/california-driver-handbook-pdf/ Hope that helps!
Hello!! This test and our other tests will help prepare you for the class C renewal test. If you are renewing your license, you can ignore the questions about teen driving rules for provisional licenses (first time drivers) - but 99% of these questions apply to ALL class C licensed drivers. Here are some playlists that should help: ru-vid.com/group/PLSP12_67qqUwil4SBSwVz-5nNrYAUasHv ru-vid.com/group/PLSP12_67qqUxyjuZH1X_MgeTiAHUPx6bl ru-vid.com/group/PLSP12_67qqUzqj2Z7x4CPrWKVrEgRf1aF
I have one question if I couldn’t pass the test how many time have a chance One or two times Please let me know send me a message appreciate thank you so much
Hello, you have 3 chances to pass total, so 2 more chances if you were to fail the first try. If you are a minor, you'll have to wait a week between retakes of the knowledge test or you have to wait 2 weeks if you're talking about retaking the drive test. If you fail the test 3 times, then you must start the application process over from the beginning. Hope that helps!
Hello there!! These questions are from CA tests, but most of the info applies to all states. We've had several comments from other state test takers who did well on their test using these videos. However, please be sure to read your state's DMV handbook for the most accurate info - especially in regards to alcohol and drug rules and teen driving laws/restrictions. Take care!
High I was wondering if you have a video on question that have to do with when you have probably with your vehicle and the answer like if your gas get stuck wide open or if you have wet brakes and how to dry them. Thanks for your time
Great questions and a great idea - it would be awesome to have a video on how to handle emergency situations, we will add it to the list! With that said, here's how the CA DMV recommends you handle the two situations you brought up: Drying Wet Brakes: If the brakes get wet, dry them by lightly pressing the accelerator (gas) and brake pedals at the same time so that the vehicle drives against the pressure of the brakes. Perform this light pressing only until the brakes dry. Accelerator Malfunction If your accelerator becomes stuck you should: 1- Shift to neutral. 2- Apply the brakes. 3- Keep your eyes on the road. 4- Look for an alternate route away from traffic or look for a way out. 5- Warn other drivers by honking and turning on your emergency lights. 6- Try to drive the car safely off the road. 7- Stop and turn off the ignition. (LAST RESORT) *** Warning: Turning the ignition off while the vehicle is moving may lock the steering wheel; you will not have control of the steering. (Source: www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/handling-emergencies/) Hope that helps!
