Getting a driver’s license is a significant milestone, and in New York state, this process requires you to be at least 16 years old. The first step is to obtain a learner’s permit, which is granted after passing a written knowledge exam at a New York office. At the DMV, you’ll also have to pass a vision screening and pay the necessary fees.
If you need to practice more before the exam day comes, train with our New York DMV permit practice tests. This intuitive tool can be a game changer for those who struggle to understand the various aspects of driving theory. The official written knowledge exam consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on the official New York driver’s handbook (New York DMV Handbook (NY Driver's Manual) 2025). We’ll help you pass this exam on your first attempt, but you must be consistent in your studies.
Each practice test has been recently updated for October 2025 to reflect the latest updates brought by DMV rules or state law. Each of the 40 questions has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. There’s no timer in our practice tests, so you shouldn’t rush through the questions. Learn at your own pace and dedicate the following weeks to mastering the material. We understand that mistakes might discourage you, but we give you the opportunity to learn from them. A detailed explanation of the correct answer is provided every time you make a mistake. Pay attention to this feedback and note it down in a notebook or notebook app. Revisit the material during future training sessions to strengthen your knowledge and improve your performance.
Driving is a lifelong skill that can only be improved with practice. After obtaining a learner’s permit, you can begin driving under the supervision of a driver who sits in the front passenger seat and is at least 21 years old. You must also complete a pre-licensing course or a high school/college driver education course. When you’re out there driving from Manhattan to the Bronx, remember the knowledge gained in your learning phase and put it into practice.
