About the America question bank
Each region sets its own rules, so questions are organised by province or state rather than pooled together. Pick your region above to get the right question set.
Every question includes a written explanation, and the same content is available in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
This is an independent study aid, not an official government service. Confirm current rules in the official handbook before you sit the test.
How licensing works here
In the United States the written test is a state exam. California and New York use different handbooks, different question counts and different pass marks. Practising the wrong state’s set will not help you at the counter.
- California adults sit 36 questions; applicants under 18 sit 46. The published pass mark is 80%.
- New York’s Class D permit test is 20 questions: 14 correct, including 2 of 4 road-sign items.
- Both states publish a free official handbook. Read that first, then use this bank for extra drills.
- A permit in one state does not automatically transfer; check the new state’s exchange rules.
