Free DMV Practice Test for New York Permit 2025

This New York DMV practice test has just been updated for May 2025 and covers 20 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the 2025 official NY Driver Handbook. Everybody needs a little help sometime, We’ve created several tests to help you get ready for your permit exam quickly and easily. It does not replace reading the driver’s handbook, but it does a really good job in showing you the format of the real exam. If you answer correctly, the question will be marked green on the left hand side progress grid and you’ll see an explanation of the correct answer. If you make a mistake, the system will mark it red and show you an explanation as well.

Take this test as many times as necessary until you feel you’re 100% ready for the real thing. Good luck!
