New York exam answer

How many answers does New York require?

New York's learner permit knowledge test has 20 questions. The DMV states that applicants must answer at least 14 correctly, including at least two of the four road-sign questions. This independent practice uses original, source-linked questions and multiple learning modes; it does not reproduce the DMV test.

Sample question · no JavaScript needed

A school bus is stopped with red lights flashing on the opposite side of a divided highway. Must a New York driver stop?

  1. Yes, the rule applies even across a divided highway
  2. No, a median always removes the duty
  3. Only when the bus driver gives a hand signal

Answer: A — Stop. New York applies the flashing-red school-bus rule in both directions, including opposite sides of divided highways.

Choose a practice mode

Learn the rule, then revisit the weak spot.

Start with a diagnostic, target weak rules, take a broader mixed set, or use a 30-question exam-style practice session. The official New York exam has 20 questions; the longer practice mode is for coverage, not imitation.

What this set covers

New York rules, including its distinctive school-bus rule.

The state set covers simultaneous arrival, left turns, traffic circles, blocked intersections, emergency vehicles, Move Over, 100-foot signaling, U-turn visibility, parking near hydrants, school buses, phone use, headlights, railroads, and bicyclists.

Shared image questions use site-authored traffic-control diagrams based on public-domain FHWA MUTCD designs. New York-specific answers remain tied to the New York DMV manual.
