Onondaga Central Schools has been approved by the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles as an Online Knowledge Test Center! 

 Online Knowledge Test Application

Students who are at least age 15 and 11 months can take the written test through the DMV Online Knowledge Test Application (OKTA) program. The test is given at participating high schools across New York State. The test is given in an easy-to-use format and is offered in English and Spanish.

It is not necessary for schools that participate to have a driver education program. They must provide a personal computer with Internet access, a printer and at least one staff person to monitor the tests. The OKTA program automatically scores each test and displays the results for the student on the computer screen.

Students who pass the test online will receive a receipt, instructions and all required forms to apply for a learner permit. Students who are at least age 16 can bring their receipt and completed forms to any state or county motor vehicle office to apply for a learner permit. Students who fail the test can take it again online as many times as the school allows.

To get started, visit the DMV website to study and take a practice test (or study the written driver’s manual, copies are available in the library).

Once the student is ready to take the test, please schedule an appointment with Mrs. Pristash
