New York driving practice tests
Private practice site. Chapbook is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any department of motor vehicles, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any state or county agency. These are practice tests written by us to help you study. They are not the official test, and passing here does not give you a licence, a permit, a card, or a certificate of any kind.
New York's permit test is short and double-gated: 20 questions, at least 14 right overall, and at least 2 of the 4 road sign questions right as a separate requirement. Our simulator is built to that exact shape, sign questions placed through every run and the sign gate judged on the results screen, because a practice test that ignores the second gate teaches a pass the DMV won't give. The bank behind it holds 362 checked questions written from the Vehicle and Traffic Law, and its points questions are keyed to the new table for violations on or after February 16, 2026, with the old values kept only as wrong answers.
The real test is offered in Spanish, in the office test's published language list and in the online test. Our Spanish New York tests arrive in a later wave, translated from our own English questions and given a fluent second pass.
