So, How Long is This Stupid Permit Test Anyway?
Let's talk about the California permit test. Because, let's face it, getting your driver's license is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Unless you're a particularly enthusiastic painter, in which case, more power to you.
The Nitty Gritty
So, how long does this test actually take? Well, it's like asking how long is a piece of string. Is it a short, stubby piece of string, or a long, flowing one that you could use to tie up a small elephant? Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic. But you get the point.
The truth is, it depends.
- Age matters: If you're under 18, you get a whopping 46 questions to ponder. For those over 18, it's a slightly more merciful 36.
- Speed reader or not: If you can read faster than a speeding bullet (without actually speeding, of course), you might be done in 20 minutes. But if you're a leisurely reader, give yourself an hour.
But Wait, There's More!
Now, just because you can finish the test quickly doesn't mean you'll pass. You need to answer a certain number of questions correctly, and let's just say, some of those questions can be trickier than a three-legged cat trying to catch a laser pointer.
