This New York DMV practice test is your virtual co-pilot to acing the real permit test. It's packed with 20 essential questions sourced directly from the official 2025 NY Driver Handbook.

Preparation and Requirements

Before embarking on this journey, ensure you:

  • Study the New York State Driver's Manual: Your official document for all things driving in New York.
  • Choose Your Permit Test Language: Available in 16 different languages, from English to Russian. Pick one that feels like home.

Application Process

  • Gather Your Docs: Proof of age, identity, and residence. Check the DMV guide for a detailed list.
  • Choose Your Test Mode: Online or in-person at a DMV office. If you're under 18 and going online, make sure a parent or guardian is there to supervise.
  • Pay the Fee: Check the fee chart to know how much to cough up.

Post-Test Steps

  • Practice and Pre-Licensing Course: Once you have your learner permit, mix some supervised driving practice with a pre-licensing course to gear up for the road test.
  • Road Test: Schedule it, ace it, and wait for your interim license. It’s valid for up to 5 years, just like your learner permit.

Ridiculously high-yield!
This resource is so ridiculously high-yield that I was able to pass (23/24; 95.8%) after just two days of studying with it. Worth every single penny and more; disregard it at your peril.

This was a huge help.
31-year-old from NYC learning how to drive — I passed my driving test today! This was a huge help in getting me prepared for the driving test! I feel ready to tackle the road test - wish me the best with parallel parking!

The practice questions covered all of the questions on my exam.
I was able to effortlessly pass my written test, confidently, because of all the practice I did online! I enjoyed using the site as it was simple and easy to navigate and with the course path I always knew what test to take next. Thanks to the challenge bank I was able to focus on the questions that ended up giving me trouble and study those ones more carefully. Cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking to get an edge in on the permit test.
