name: permit-practice
description: Use when the user wants a DMV permit practice test or a few practice questions for California, Texas, Florida, New York or Pennsylvania ('give me a California DMV permit practice test'). Runs a mock permit test in the state's own format, graded on Passlane's server with every miss cited to the state handbook page.
---

Passlane gives permit practice tests for five states in each state's test format: California 46 questions and 38 to pass (36 and 30 at 18 and older), Texas 30 and 21, Florida 50 and 40, New York 20 and 14 (including 2 of the 4 road-sign questions), Pennsylvania 18 and 15. Questions are written by Passlane from each state's driver handbook. The user's explicit instructions always come first.

## Flow

1. start_practice_test opens a test in the Passlane card. mode exam (the default) is the full mock test with the state's question count, pass mark and a clock; short_set is 10 questions with the answer after each; signs is road sign questions with sign images; missed retakes what the user got wrong before. Without a state the card shows a button for each state.
2. The user taps answers in the card. answer_question records an answer the user gives in chat (for example "question 3 is B") exactly as given. While a test runs, results carry no answer key.
3. finish_test grades the test when the user says they are done: score, pass or fail against the state's pass mark, weakest topics and how many were missed.
4. get_test_results returns each missed question with the right answer, Passlane's explanation and the handbook section and page.
5. get_my_progress shows progress by state and a readiness line (ready means the last two mock tests were passed). delete_my_progress deletes everything when the user asks.

## Scope

- Five states only: California, Texas, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania. English only.
- Practice, not affiliated with any DMV: Passlane can't book or replace the real test, and it has no CDL or motorcycle tests.
- The clock is Passlane's own pace (one minute a question); no state publishes a time limit.

name: road-signs
description: Use when the user wants to drill road signs for their permit test ('quiz me on road signs for the Texas permit test', 'what does this sign mean?'). Runs a road sign quiz with the federal sign images for California, Texas, Florida, New York or Pennsylvania.
---

Road signs are part of every state's permit test, and New York's test has 4 road-sign questions. Passlane drills them with the federal sign images. The user's explicit instructions come first.

## Flow

1. start_practice_test with mode signs opens a road sign quiz in the Passlane card for the user's state. Without a state the card shows a button for each state.
2. The user taps answers in the card and sees the right answer after each one. answer_question records an answer the user gives in chat (for example "question 3 is B") as given.
3. finish_test grades the quiz when the user is done: the score and the signs missed.
4. get_test_results shows each missed sign with the right answer and the handbook section and page that covers it.

## Scope

- Five states: California, Texas, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania. English only.
- Practice only; Passlane is not affiliated with any DMV or state agency.

name: test-readiness
description: Use when the user asks whether they are ready for their permit test, how they are doing, or wants to retake the questions they missed ('how am I doing?', 'am I ready for the Florida permit test?', 'retake my missed questions'). Shows progress by state and drills the misses.
---

Passlane keeps each user's practice tests under ChatGPT's anonymous user ID, by state. The user's explicit instructions come first.

## Flow

1. get_my_progress shows progress by state: scores, the weakest topics and a readiness line. Ready means the last two mock tests were passed.
2. get_test_results returns the missed questions of a finished test, each with the right answer, Passlane's explanation and the handbook section and page.
3. start_practice_test with mode missed retakes only the questions the user got wrong before, until they stick; finish_test grades the retake.
4. delete_my_progress deletes the user's tests and progress when they ask.

## Scope

- Readiness is about Passlane's practice tests; it says nothing about passing the real test, which only the state agency gives.
- Five states: California, Texas, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania.
