Has anyone successfully created an eAccessNY account as an out-of-state applicant?

I live in Pennsylvania and am trying to register for the NY real estate salesperson exam. During account creation, the system asks for a NY DMV driver’s license number that must be 9 digits. My PA license is only 8 digits, so it will not accept it.

It also seems to have issues with my county selection since I’m out of state.

Did anyone here without a NY driver’s license successfully create an account? If so, what was the workaround?

Any help would be appreciated.

For those who have taken both the NJ and NY real estate salesperson exams, what differences stood out to you the most?

I passed NJ and am now studying for NY. So far NY feels broader and more detailed in certain areas, especially mortgages, agency, and some of the legal terminology. Curious how others felt about:

• overall difficulty
• wording/trickiness of questions
• math
• state specific topics
• similarity to practice exams
• anything that surprised you on test day

Would love to hear any comparisons or advice from people who have done both.
