ALL 41 TESTED ROAD SIGNS — OFFICIAL FEDERAL (MUTCD) ARTWORK
36 questions in California, 40 in New Hampshire, 20 in Alaska — every state tests differently, and your mock exams match your state's published format down to the passing threshold and per-topic quotas.
Every question is fact-checked against your state's official driver handbook and the laws it cites — never copied from other apps. When the handbook changes, we update.
FSRS spaced repetition brings each fact back right before you'd forget it. Miss a question anywhere and it lands in your review queue automatically.
Sign Sprint and Match turn the most-tested part of the exam into 60-second games — built on the official federal sign artwork.
Three license types in one app: the learner's permit, the motorcycle test, and the CDL knowledge exams — General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination Vehicles.
Fully bilingual wherever the real exam is. If your state officially tests in Spanish, study in Spanish; if it tests in English only, we tell you — and match the real thing.
Daily quests, streak freezes, and 10 achievements keep you coming back. No hearts, no energy meters, nothing standing between you and studying.
No account needed. No ads. No cross-site trackers. Your study data stays on your phone and the app works in airplane mode.

Competitor prices verified July 21, 2026 from their public pages and apps; sources on file. Zutobi publishes no prices on its website; its $7.99/wk car and motorcycle price, with CDL sold separately at $9.99/wk, was verified in its app in July 2026.
On iPhone and iPad, Apple Family Sharing means one $29.99 purchase covers the whole household, compared with $199 family plans elsewhere. Parents buy once, and every teen in the family studies: the car permit this year, the motorcycle endorsement or CDL whenever they're ready, each on their own device.
No account needed. Pass your car permit now, and your motorcycle or CDL unlock is already included when you're ready.
No — PermitPal is an independent study aid and is not affiliated with any state DMV. But the mock exams use your state's real published format — the same number of questions, the same passing thresholds, the same topics — and every fact is verified against your state's official driver handbook.
All 50 states, and three license types in every one of them: the car learner's permit, the motorcycle permit or endorsement, and the CDL knowledge tests (General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and Combination Vehicles).
Yes — PermitPal is fully bilingual wherever the real exam is. If your state officially offers its knowledge test in Spanish, you can study and take mock exams in Spanish. If your state tests in English only, PermitPal tells you so and keeps the questions in English to match the real test.
Completely. Lessons, games, flashcards, and mock exams all run on your device with no connection needed — study in the car (as a passenger!), on the bus, anywhere.
No. The iPhone, iPad and Android apps have no sign-up or login at all. In the browser, signing in is optional and only keeps a purchase safe if you clear your browser or switch devices. Your study progress stays on your device. We do count anonymous usage events, never your name, email or answers, and there are no ads or cross-site trackers.
No. The free tier is free forever, and PermitPal Pro is still a single $29.99 purchase that unlocks every state and every license type for good. There is a $6.99 weekly option too, on iPhone, iPad, Android and in the browser, for people whose test is days away and who would rather not pay for more than they need. If you buy the one-time unlock it keeps working: pass your car permit now, and your motorcycle or CDL prep is already paid for whenever you're ready.
