Answer 2

Well i havent taken the test in cali but i dont think the test nationwide change much. The questions are pretty much common sense ones. What signs means what. What the difference between yellow or white lines. so on. Also distances to start your blinker and stuff like that. Its hard for some people. but i didnt even read the book and passed it the first time.
