teeny weenie teens need to obtain something called a pink slip which is basically a document that tells the DMV that you completed an online driving course.
If you're 18+, you don't need to take an online driving course but if you're still a baby teen, you must complete it through an accredited organization.

Take these practice tests below and prepare for your permit test -- pass the test.
Side note: make sure to look presentable when taking your permit test, that will be the picture used in your drivers license.
Once you've passed, you'll be able to drive with a legal gaurdian or official instructor in the front seat!
You have 6 months before you can take your driving test. In this 6 month period, you need to complete 6 hours of driving intructor courses -- these cost big money! As well as 50 hours of driving time logged in with a parent or gaurdian.
Driving instructor companies in the Bay Area:
most charge by 2 hour shifts or one full 6 hour package.
Take your drivers license after 6 months and pass that then congratulations! Stay safe, don't drink/text/be stupid and drive.
