california dmv - need help

hi! im a 20 y/o college student and I got my permit last year but it expired in december 2024 unfortunately. im now on a big time crunch to get my license in order to be eligible for a summer job and am finding a lot of conflicting information online. at the moment i understand the following

1. I have to retake my permit's test and get a new permit.

2. I can take my drivers test the day afterwards.

I already have my REAL ID and need to know if I need to bring in all of my old documents in order to be eligible for my license. also because I am a college student, I am listing my home address in southern california, however I don't have any bills with my name on them. is this fine or do I need to find an alternative? Lastly, how long do i have to wait to retake the drivers test if I fail the first time?

thank you in advance for the support!
