How hard is the California driving test?

I just completed 30 hours of coursework and passed the written driving exam, so I’m finally ready for my driving test. I’ve heard mixed reviews about how difficult it is, so I’m a little stressed. How hard is it to pass the California driving test?

Even if you aren’t a great test taker, you should be alright taking your driving test in
California
. It’s the same as anywhere else; preparation and calmness are essential.
If you want to prepare yourself, follow a few steps:
  • Eat before the test
  • Don’t drink too much caffeine
  • Avoid drinking the night before
  • Take some deep breaths
  • Make small talk with your examiner
With a little bit of hard work, study, and focus, you shouldn’t have any issues passing the California driving test. But before you start shopping for a car, take a minute or two to compare car insurance premiums with the
