Learner's Permit Testing

Massapequa High School was one of the first NYS high schools to participate in the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) learners permit online testing at school program.  The program allows students age 16 or older to take their learners test online at school. We provide regular testing dates throughout the school year.

To take the test at MHS, students must sign up for one of the sessions below and bring their identification* and a $5 fee to MHS.  After passing the test, students will receive documentation that they can take to DMV to receive their learners permit.  Students will also need to know their MHS computer network login name and password.

Tests will be given in Room 215 of Massapequa High School. To register to take the test, click on the date and time and complete the form. Please arrive 5 minutes before the testing time.

New York State Driver's Manual & Practice Tests - Manuals are available in the MHS Library and you can also use the DMV online study tools.
Learners Permit Test Login - This link is only usable during Learner's Permit testing.
