Before you show up
One honest thing most pages skip: New York does not publish a question count or a passing score, and it reports your result only as pass or fail. Every "40 questions, 70% to pass" line you have read is community lore, not a state rule. What is certain is where the questions come from, the state's Notary Public License Law booklet, so that is exactly what to study.
Walk in knowing what to carry and how the day goes, and it stops being stressful.
