For anyone getting ready to take the NYS written permit test, most often 16- and 17-year-olds getting their first permit, but also for adults getting licensed later or who are new to New York too.

Finish with a full-length practice test that mirrors the real exam, so the DMV visit holds no surprises.
What's included:

- The Student Workbook, with key notes, a Prep Journal, and a quick-reference cheat sheet
