There's not much of a difference btwn Nassau & Suffolk - but I actually think Suffolk may be a tad easier only b/c it's more rural out there. Nassau can get crazy at some spots, mostly Old Country Road by the mall - the congestion there is a horror show and "Dead Man's Alley" on the SSP, which I think is exits 13-18. If you're nervous, take a lil spin around the Centereach area (with a licensed driver of course) sometime before your test to get a feel for the area. Good luck!

I took mine @ the Freeport site ages ago.

Kind of ironic looking for an easy place for a road test. You should be able to pass at ANY roadtest. Otherwise you dont belong on the road.

Yes, it's all dirt roads and farms east of route 110.

Guess you've never been to the east end...

I said more rural than Nassau... and in some parts it is.

The OP isn't taking her road test on the East End, she's taking it in Centereach. No less congested than any Nassau County road test sites.

Yes, out here we're all a bunch of hayseeds in the sticks.

If you had taken a moment to look up Suffolk County road test sites, you would have seen the easternmost testing point is in Riverhead, at Pukaski & Columbus. It's not exactly rural in Riverhead proper.
The Centerach road test site is very similar to the Wantagh site.

Learn to drive before you take the road test, please.

Thanksss! Yeahh I've been getting the same thing about a lot of cars on the roads.

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind but I'm crossing my fingers I'll pass this one ☺️

Thanks for the tip!
