New York DMV Practice Tests

Passing the New York permit exam takes 14 right answers out of 20. That is a 70% score, but there is a catch worth knowing before you sit down: four of those questions cover road signs, and you have to get at least two of them correct or you fail no matter how well you did on the rest. Once you turn 16 you can apply, and every question traces back to the New York State Driver’s Manual.

A good NYS permit practice test does two jobs at once. It builds your general knowledge and it drills the signs section so that two-of-four rule never trips you up. Start with a full-length run to see where you stand, then work through shorter topic sets on the areas that cost you points.

The New York permit test pulls from a wide pool: right-of-way at intersections, speed limits and stopping distances, parking rules, alcohol and drug laws, and what each sign shape and color means. Working through a NYS DMV permit test online lets you meet those topics in a low-pressure setting and repeat the ones that give you trouble.
