Preparing for the New York State Road Test

The New York State DMV outlines specific steps to prepare for and schedule a road test. Our Driver Test Prep Courses align with these requirements to ensure you’re ready:

Step 1: Prepare for Your Road Test

Before taking the New York State Road Test, you’ll need:
  • A valid New York State learner permit.
  • An original, unexpired Pre-Licensing Course Certificate (MV-278) or Student Certificate of Completion (MV-285). Our Driver Test Prep Courses fulfill this requirement, providing comprehensive preparation.
  • A Certification of Supervised Driving (MV-262) if under 18, completed by a parent or guardian.
  • A properly registered, insured, and inspected vehicle in clean condition.
  • A licensed driver (over 18 if accompanying, or over 21 if the permit-holder drives to the test site).
Note: Practice driving is not allowed at New York State test sites, and possession of firearms at test sites is prohibited unless authorized.

Step 2: Schedule Your Test

If under 18, you must wait at least six months from receiving your learner permit to schedule a road test. Use the New York DMV’s scheduling system to book, reschedule, or cancel. Tests are typically available within 3-5 weeks, though wait times may extend to 10 weeks during peak periods like summer or school breaks.

Step 3: Take the Road Test

Arrive 15 minutes early with all required documents and a suitable vehicle. Tests may be canceled due to weather or road construction, so check for updates on the New York DMV website. 

Step 4: Get Your Results

If You Pass: Receive an interim license online to drive immediately (carry it with your learner permit). Your photo driver’s license will arrive by mail within two weeks.
If You Fail: Your learner permit remains valid. Wait at least 14 days to retake the test, and pay additional fees after failing two tests. Pay fees online.

Our Driver Test Prep Courses cover all tested skills, from parallel parking to obeying traffic signals, ensuring you’re fully prepared.

Getting started with Online Traffic Safety is simple:
