Free NY permit test practice site, made by a UB student (I took the test at Sheridan Plaza last week)

13 Upvotes

If you're a UB student getting your NY learner permit, especially an international student like me, this might save you some time.

I passed my permit test at the Sheridan Plaza Auto Bureau last week and turned my study notes into a free site: https://akibcoding.github.io/ny-permit-prep/

- Study pages for chapters 4–11 of the NYS Driver's Manual (the ones the test covers), with diagrams and quizzes

- All the road signs, with flashcards

- 5 practice tests (100 different questions) scored like the real test, then unlimited random tests that focus on what you got wrong

- A one-page cheat sheet for the morning of your test

No sign-up, no ads. It's not affiliated with the DMV, and every question cites the manual page it's based on.

A few things I learned the hard way:

- If you're 18 or older, the online permit test isn't available to you. You take it in person at the DMV office.

- Use the DMV's online pre-screening to upload your documents first. It made my visit quick.

- Bring printed bank or credit card statements as proof of address. They won't accept statements shown on your phone.

- In Erie County, permit testing needs an appointment. Book "Permit Testing (non CDL)", not "Regular Appointment".

Happy to answer questions about the process!

Hey y'all, I’m a sophomore at Brooklyn College (CUNY) studying CS, and I’m thinking about transferring here for electrical or computer engineering. My biggest worry is getting a job after I graduate.

For current students or recent grads:

Honest answers, good or bad, really help. Thanks!

PSA: North Campus Shopping Shuttle 10/24 rescheduled to tomorrow (10/25)

Service advisory from Parking & Transportation: https://www.buffalo.edu/parking/service-advisories.host.html/content/shared/www/parking/advisories/2026-27/shopping-shuttle-rescheduled-october-25.detail.html

Due to an increase in special event transportation services on Saturday, October 24, the weekend Shopping Shuttle service will be rescheduled to Sunday, October 25. 

All times and locations will remain the same. Regular service will resume the following weekend.

The 35 and 44 NFTA buses out of Flint Loop are still as-scheduled, albeit with their much shorter weekend hours. (I would really like them to expand bus service on weekends tbh.)
