Step 2: Schedule a Test

If you are under the age of 18, you must wait at least6 monthsfrom the date you received your learner permit to schedule your road test.

The road test scheduling system offers the earliest available dates and times at sites near the ZIP code you provide.Usually, the earliest date is within 3 to 5 weeks, but at peak testing periods during summer and school breaks it may be up to 10 weeks away. There are no waiting lists.Tests are almost always on weekdays (only rarely do we offer them on a Saturday).

You do not need to schedule your road test appointment in the county or area of the state where you live.Find road test locations.

What you need to schedule

  • a valid New York State Learner Permit (see a samplelearner permit)
  • an original, unexpired Pre-Licensing Course Certificate (MV-278) or a Student Certificate of Completion (MV-285) (see more information about Pre-Licensing Course)
  • theZIP Code of the location where you would like to take the test
  • at least 1 unused road test

Tests can be canceled/rescheduled or relocated due to bad weather or road construction. Before you leave for your test, check for anycancellations, closings, and delays.

Arrive up to 15 minutes before the time of your test. If you are late, the license examiner may not be able to conduct your test and you will have to reschedule.

Please note: Not all road test locations have a shelter. Please be prepared for inclement weather conditions.

Possession of a firearm, rifle, or shotgun in or upon any New York State DMV road test site is prohibited by law unless otherwise authorized (Penal Law §§265.01-D, 265.01-E).

Step 4: Get Your Results

After the road test, the examiner will give you instructions on how to receive your test results by visiting roadtestresults.nyrtsscheduler.com. Your results will be posted to the website after 6 p.m. on the day of your test.

If You Pass

An interim license that allows you to drive will be available to you online - keep the interim license with your photo learner permit. You will receive your photo driver license in the mail, in about 2 weeks. Drivers of all ages are subject to aprobationary period for new drivers. If you are under age 18 and have a Class DJ, MJ, or DJ/MJ driver license, you must obey the restrictions for junior drivers (seeGraduated Driver License (GDL) Law and restrictions on drivers under age 18).


If You Fail

If you fail a non-commercial license road test, your learner permit remains valid until the expiration date.

You can schedule another road test, but you must pay additional fees if you failed your first two road tests.

You must wait at least 7 days to take the test again.

To pay for additional tests, you must

  • have a valid learner permit or driver license
  • provide your DMV ID Number from your Learner Permit (Client ID Number) and your date of birth
  • have no other road tests currently available
  • pay the fee with a credit or debit card
