New York Teen Permit Test (Class DJ) – Frequently Asked Questions

Getting ready for your New York teen permit test (Class DJ)? This FAQ explains how the junior learner permit works, what the New York teen DMV written test includes, GDL restrictions, supervised driving hours, and how to pass the exam and move toward your junior driver license in New York.

The New York Teen Permit Test (Class DJ) is the written knowledge exam that teens (usually 16–17 years old) must pass to get a junior learner permit. It covers New York road signs, road rules, safe driving habits, and special GDL (Graduated Driver Licensing) rules that apply to young drivers.
The official New York teen permit test has 20 multiple-choice questions. You must answer at least 14 questions correctly to pass, including at least 2 out of 4 road-sign questions.
You can apply for a New York junior learner permit (Class DJ) at 16 years old. Once you pass the teen DMV written test and vision test, the DMV issues your permit so you can start supervised driving practice.
No. With a New York teen learner permit you must always drive with a supervising driver who is at least 21 years old and holds a valid license. The supervising driver must sit in the front passenger seat at all times.
Under New York’s GDL rules, most teen drivers cannot drive between 9 PM and 5 AM unless they are supervised by a qualified adult or are traveling for work or school with proper documentation. Always check the latest regional rules for your county.
To move from a junior learner permit to a New York junior driver license, you must complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving, including 15 hours of night driving. These hours must be recorded and confirmed by your parent or supervising driver.
Yes. Before scheduling your road test, you must complete the 5-Hour Pre-Licensing Course (MV-278) or an approved Driver Education course. This applies to both Class DJ (teen) and Class D (adult) permit holders.
New York’s Zero Tolerance Law applies to drivers under 21. A BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of 0.02% to 0.07% can lead to license suspension, fines, and a Driver Responsibility Assessment. Drinking and driving can also delay or revoke your junior license.
No. Texting and handheld phone use are illegal for teen drivers in New York, except in true emergencies. A texting violation can add 5 DMV points, trigger fines, and may cause your learner permit or junior license to be suspended.
To pass the New York teen DMV written test on the first try:
• Read the official New York State Driver’s Manual carefully.
• Focus on road signs, right-of-way rules, speed limits, school bus laws, work zones, and DWI / Zero Tolerance penalties.
• Take multiple New York teen permit practice tests that use DMV-style questions so you are comfortable with the format before your real exam.
For the New York junior learner permit (Class DJ), you must bring:
• Proof of identity and date of birth (acceptable DMV ID documents).
• Proof of New York residency.
Social Security number or proof of ineligibility.
• A completed MV-44 permit application and the required fees.

Practice questions for study purposes only. Some answers may contain errors. Always verify with your official state DMV handbook.
