Permit Ready helps adults prepare for the driver's license knowledge test in California and in Florida: the written test for a first license, also called the permit test. You choose your state, and every question is shown in English with a translation underneath, so you learn each rule together with the English words used on road signs and in the test. Two states, each with its own questions ⢠California: 450 practice questions, translated into Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese and Filipino (Tagalog). Mock exams under the adult test rules: 36 questions, 30 correct to pass ⢠Florida: 452 practice questions, translated into Spanish, Haitian Creole and Portuguese. Mock exams under the Class E test rules: 50 questions, 40 correct to pass, in 60 minutes. Florida gives its test in English only, so the English always comes first What you get ⢠Questions written for this app, each with a plain explanation and the section of the state's law or the handbook topic it is based on ⢠The road signs and vehicle markings of your state (California 82, Florida 77), drawn to the standard designs: you write what a sign means, and the app checks ⢠Spaced review that brings back the questions you are about to forget ⢠Your mistake patterns: the rule you keep applying wrong, not only a score ⢠A readiness estimate that updates after each study session ⢠Listening mode: questions, options and explanations read aloud with your phone's own voices ⢠A 10-question check that shows where you stand before you start Who it is for Adults in California or Florida getting a first driver's license, especially if English is not their first language.
