When I move to California from Florida, at age 18, will I have to retake all the exams to get my drivers license? When my parents moved from New Jersey to Florida, they just had to get their eyes checked pretty much and they were issued a FL license the same day. Will that go for me too when i move to Cali?

How to apply for a driver license if you are over 18
If you are a visitor in California over 18 and have a valid driver license from your home state or country, you may drive in this state without getting a California driver license as long as your home state license remains valid.
If you take a job here or become a resident, you must get a California driver license within 10 days. Residency is established by voting in a California election, paying resident tuition, filing for a homeowner's property tax exemption, or any other privilege or benefit not ordinarily extended to nonresidents.
To apply for an original driver license if you are over 18, you will need to do the following:
Visit a DMV office (make an appointment for faster service)
Complete application form DL 44 (An original DL 44 form must be submitted. Copies will not be accepted.)
Give a thumb print
Have your picture taken
Provide your social security number. It will be verified with the Social Security Administration while you are in the office.
Verify your birth date and legal presence
Provide your true full name
Pay the application fee
Pass a vision exam
Pass a traffic laws and sign test. There are 36 questions on the test. You have three chances to pass.(Sample Test)
Note: To allow you sufficient time for testing DMV will not be administering written or audio exams after 4:30 p.m.
You will then be issued a permit if you have never been licensed before. When you practice, you must have an accompanying adult who is 18 years of age or older, with a valid California license. This person must be close enough to you to take control of the vehicle if necessary. It is illegal for you to drive alone.
If you have a license from another country, you will be required to take a driving test. If you have a license from another state, the driving test can be waived.

If you memorize key information from the book, then it's the test right there. I live in VA and the book was basically the test. While reading the book, if I saw something that I thought was key like how far can you park away from the fire hydrant, I would just highlight it or make a small flash card out of notebook paper or just write it down to remember it. I did that for a week and took the test and passed with a 100 percent. What's written in the book are almost the exact questions.

Permit me to answer you out. Considering that you be coming to California from Florida you will need to retake every single exam that there is because the laws in California are very much different from the laws of Florida.
Here is a few types of questions that you find exams:
(1) in regards to the ABC (Alcohol Blood Count) what is the lowest level permited in your bloodstream?
(2) while driving in a residential area what the max. speed limit.
Good luck with the exams and dont forget to read the manuel very well.
Vote for me.

In order for you to obtain a license in CA, you must take the exam (both the written test and behind-the-wheel)
