Everyone over 18 gets a permit to driver after you take and pass the written test. You don't have to do all those requirement for when you are under 18. To get your permit you only have to pass the written test. After you pass the written test, you make an appointment to go back to take the driving test. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffdl07

Yes, to get a license you must pass a driving exam. To drive you need a permit.

Possibly so

A permit is for you to learn to drive.
The permit is given after you pass the knowledge test.
After you practise for a few minutes, hours, days, weeks or months and feel you have the on the road skills you can try for your drives license.

The road test will not be given to you if you cannot prove you know the rules. MOST use the learners permit for this purpose.

If you really cannot understand the website from California government website from the department responsible for issuing licenses you are probably not quite ready to pass the road test.

The same rule applies if you are 18, 21 or 31 or any other age.

A permit is for you to learn to drive. You don’t need a permit if you don’t plan to learn to drive. You can skip the permit and get the license if you can pass the written and driving test.
