Our Story

DMV Practice Test was first launched in 2019 as a passion project of husband-and-wife duo Callie and Dominic Gray. Callie worked 7 years as a high school driver’s education instructor with extensive first-hand experience teaching permit test prep courses. Dominic brought over 15 years of experience leading EdTech product design for online learning platforms. Together, they set out to modernize stale legacy offerings in the DMV exam prep space by creating a next-gen supplemental digital solution.

Unlike most sites built as side projects without classroom expertise, Callie shaped the teaching pedagogy with relevant insights from her years empowering novice teen drivers. Dominic then translated these best practices into an intuitive, polished web/mobile platform leveraging interactive tools optimized for all learners. The result was a robust supplementary curriculum tailored to DMV testing environments where traditional methods fell short.

After an initial soft launch and product iteration based directly on California user feedback, the DMV Permit Test officially rolled out statewide in January 2023. Through strong word-of-mouth and our unprecedented 100% exam pass guarantee, we have steadily grown, serving over 100K satisfied customers and helping reach their licensing goals.
