The online manual identifies Chapters 4–11 as the material needed for the Class D, DJ, or E learner-permit written test.
The Class D permit test has 20 multiple-choice questions; at least 14 correct are required, including at least two of four sign questions.
Before the first license, applicants generally pass vision and knowledge tests and complete the required pre-licensing course and road test.
Requirements can depend on your age, license history, and permit type. Check New York State Department of Motor Vehicles's permit information before making an appointment.
