What are the requirements for an adult/senior to obtain a license?

If you are at least 18 years old, meet the application requirements, and pass the required tests, you may be issued a California instruction permit. You must have an instruction permit while learning to drive. Your accompanying driver must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid California driver license. This person must be seated close enough to you that he or she is able to take control of the vehicle at any time. An instruction permit does not permit you to drive alone–not even to a DMV office to take the driving test. 

Are there sample tests I can take before the DMV written exam?

The DMV provides sample tests.

How do I book a Behind-the-Wheel test with the DMV?

Remember to bring your permit (signed by a your parent), your Driving Training Completion certificate (DL400D), your car's registration and insurance card.
