The New York DMV written test consists of 20 questions. You must answer 14 questions correctly to pass it. Along with passing the written knowledge test, in order to get your learner’s permit, you must be at least 16 years old, then pass a vision exam, and pay a fee that varies depending on your age and location. For those under 18, the fee is least expensive when you are 16 and a half to 17 ($76.75-$85.75) and most expensive when you are 17 to 17 1/2 ($92.50-$102.50). If it is ever necessary to replace your learner’s permit, the fee for that will be $17.50. At participating high schools, you may take the exam through the DMV Online Knowledge Test Application (OKTA) starting at age 15. Once you pass, you will be given a proof receipt, which you can then take to the DMV to receive your learner’s permit when you turn 16. This DMV practice test will help you prepare to pass your written exam either at the DMV or through OKTA.

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
