Using the NY Notary Practice Exams For Success!

After completing the above free NYS Notary Public practice exam you should have had a good example/sample of what to expect on the NY Notary Public exam date you select to walk-in to take the state exam..  This practice exam was updated by the New York State Notary Association instructors in October 2016.


We will be posting new fee sample New York Notary Public practice exams / tests in the future.  If you are studying on your own please be aware that this is just a small sample of what they can ask when you take the actual NYS state exam.


The good news is that the NYC Notary exam is the same as the Albany, NY exam...likewise it is the same in Buffalo, Binghamton. Rochester, New York City, Syracuse, Albany, Long Island, Plainview, Hauppauge, Franklin Square, Newburgh, Utica & Plattsburgh.    We are aware that there are over 100 different Notary tests they could use at any given testing location on any given date.  The Notary Association has developed a data base of approximately 250 core key exam questions items that could be the topic of your 40 question, multiple choice exam.  By spinning off these 250 core statutes the state can come up with thousands and thousands of questions to ask on the exam.


One common question we get when people call us at (347) 427-909 is this...."Are these the exact questions on the exam?" By now we hope it is obvious to you that nobody can give you the exact exam questions without cheating!  We do however teach the law in a conversational manner with imagery which stimulates and engages your critical thinking.  This trains you to answer thousands of variations in the questions.  Remember....this is a multiple choice NY Notary Exam...not a fill in the blanks exam!  We train you to recognize the right and answers so that you do not need to memorize too many things.


Don't panic...our students of average intelligence usually finish it in just  20 minutes!  


If you are ready for our data base of electronic practice exams...please consider starting our NY Notary on-line course today!  It will be a much quicker and much more enjoyable way to prepare for the Sate Notary exam and we guarantee your result.  That is more fun!


Just an important word of caution for you.  Honestly.....we have had countless students that used free resources on-line that were out dated and generic...meaning not specific to New York Statutes.  They failed miserably...and were astonished when they used our training.  See the testimonials of people who used our on line NY State Notary Public classes in the links above.


Why Is Your NY State Notary Public Exam Prep Course The Best One Anywhere?

Let's be honest here.  This is the training portal for the New York State Notary Public Association.  There are dozens of internet marketers out there that are selling pure garbage...targeting unsuspecting people... based on key word analysis for internet searches.  In other words... they are throwing up generic Notary Public info from other states that do not even appear as questions on the NY State Notary Licensing Exam!  One thing for certain is that Every state has different statutes and laws...so subsequently you can only pass the NY State Notary Public exam by mastering critical thinking about NY State Notary Public Statutes.


We have had over 26,000 students prepare for the exam and take our free practice exam samples since 2002.  That means we get a ton of feedback from people that have attempted and failed the Notary Exam in New York State.  Guess what?  Thousands of people fail the exam miserably (60%) when they have either purchased a cheap or misleading notary study program...or they self studied.  We have less than 1% of our students repeating the exam because of failure.  While other websites have copied that statistic and post it for marketing purposes...they would be hard pressed to prove it if ever challenged!  How can we prove it then?  We have a GUARANTEE that you will pass your first attempt at the NYS Notary License Exam.  Less than 1% report failing and are given a FREE repeat on this training.  The less than 1% students admit they did not review properly the way they were instructed...or life events like a work emergency or death in the family interrupted their schedule and delayed the time from completing our online NY Notary Licensing Class....to when they decided to sit in on the Walk-In State Notary Exam.


Why is FREE NYS Notary Public Association Membership So Very Important To My Success As A NY State Officer?


Why are we creating accurate and free sample NY Notary Practice exams for you?  Why will give you no-cost continuing education after you pass the State Exam and are licensed for life?  Why is continuing education so important to me once I am licensed as a NY State Notary?  Why should you take free practice notary exams...and then sign-up for the recorded Online NY Notary Public Licensing Classes?  These are all great questions....so lets answer them...shall we?


We are providing practice exams here so that if you are self studying or have purchased another study program...you might come to realize that you might not have prepared thoroughly enough and might have fallen prey to an internet marketing scheme. Remember...60% fail.  Of course we wan't you to purchase out best in class training to fund all the other free things we do for you as a life-time commissioned Notary Public!  Would you like to know when new laws are published that you must obey or run the risk of losing your license; being sued for Civil damages; Get accused of, "Official Misconduct" and potentially get convicted of a Class A Misdemeanor?
If you answered YES....than do not expect New York State to notify you once your licensed.  

Why would they (NY State Division Of Licensing Services)  not notify you?  Because it costs money to notify you!
We provide a free membership in the NYS Notary Association which includes a monthly video newsletter with new law updates, refresher training and discounts on supplies.  We also keep you abreast of political events that might be important for you to know about.  For this very reason we have elected to not to file as a Non-profit Organization. Take the class so you can pass the exam easily and then participate and network with all the other NYS Notary Public State Officers.  You even get a free hotline you can call during normal business hours to ask procedure questions while in your place of employment!  None of those other online notary class websites want to know you after they get your money.  We are with you for life!
