• Am I required to obtain an NY permit before applying for a New York drivers license?

  • Drivers License > New Renewal Duplicate > Learners Permit And Drivers Permit

  If you’re under age 18 or have a learners permit from another state, you must apply for a drivers permit before you get your regular drivers license. This means you must take a written exam, unless you get exempted by taking a NY approved drivers education course. Practice for the written test is important. The test is based on the drivers manual. Some Internet drivers ed companies now sell a practice permit test based on this information, which will help you learn the material and pass the real thing. These tests generally cost under $20. Because NY doesn’t have a free practice test, this is pretty much the only convenient method of practicing for the written drivers license test.

Then, you can start making plans for obtaining your permit, such as taking a..

  • Drivers License > Practice Tests > Learners Permit Practice Tests

  Some states do offer a permit practice driving test. These usually consist of a few questions taken from the drivers manual, to allow drivers license candidates to practice for the drivers permit test. Remember, it’s best to take as many practice tests as possible before trying out the learners permit test to familiarize yourself with the material and the test format.
