What our California notary public students are saying:

Your practice exam is amazing!

I took it not less than 20 times. It built my confidence a lot before taking the actual exam. I would give it a credit to at least increase my score by 20 points. I highly recommend everyone to try the practice quiz multiple times. It is magical. I passed the exam on the first attempt.
Hemant Bhatt

Thank you.

It was a very good class and I appreciated the materials.
Mary Heare Amodio

I passed the notary exam!

The lessons and the practice exams help me build my confidence even to the point of walking into the exam room. I knew I was going to pass the test. 
Jeanette Hernandez

I really appreciate you and the way you handle business. 

This experience has given me such a warm & happy experience.

FREE BONUS: STATE NOTARY PUBLIC EXAM PREP

Pass the CA Notary Test

Although you’ll be fully prepared to pass the notary public state exam after completing our training, we want to give you another tool to help you study: a quiz bank of 200+ practice exam questions.

You can take the practice test as many times as you’d like. 35 random questions are presented to you each time.

The practice test is not part of the state-approved education, and completion is optional but highly recommended to help you pass the state exam.
