How long does the driving test in California take?
I have my road test tomorrow and I’m pretty nervous about it. How long is the California driving test?
Sean Boehme · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Preparation is key, and these are some tasks you should be ready to perform during the test:
- Adjust your mirror
- Use your turn signal properly
- U-turn
- Parallel park, or complete a backup maneuver
Keep in mind: Although the test itself may only take 20 minutes, you may have to spend some time waiting for an instructor to become available. You also need to account for the time it takes to get to and from the testing site.
The bottom line: You should leave a few hours of your day free for your driving test.
If you’re very nervous, 20 minutes might seem like an eternity. But if you do your best to stay relaxed and rely on your preparation, you’ll have no trouble completing the test and getting your license!
