Are you a New York resident seeking the liberty of navigating the open roads throughout the Empire State? New York has nearly 20 million residents, so it may take you more than a minute to get where you’re going. However, if you don’t thoroughly prepare for the New York learner permit knowledge test, you’ll be left hitching a ride on a Hudson River Cruise.
Let’s have some real talk about preparing yourself. To pass the New York knowledge test, you will need to answer 80% of the 20 questions correctly. That leaves you with little margin for error. While some of the questions on the test are fairly easy to answer, others can throw you curveballs that would make Babe Ruth proud. Before stepping up to the plate and taking a swing at these questions, you need to spend less time on the questions you already know and focus on the ones that are going to give you trouble. You need to use a resource with a proven track record of providing effective test-taking skills.
Our free New York DMV Driving Diagnostic practice test, based on the most recent New York Driver’s Manual and up to date as of October 2025, is an excellent resource to provide you all of the information you’ll need to pass your official knowledge test on the first attempt. The practice test includes 15 of the most commonly missed questions on the official knowledge test. If you submit an incorrect answer for any of them, you will receive immediate feedback. You are provided with a detailed explanation of the correct answer so you can clearly understand how to avoid repeating the mistake. The practice test represents a paradigm shift in the claimed value of a study guide to prepare you in your quest for a driver’s license. While study guides help you memorize the answers to test questions, the practice test goes further by providing you with the information that makes the answer correct.
