Free California DMV Motorcycle Permit Practice Test 2024

Here is the free practice test for the California state license motorcycle endorsement. All the questions on this exam will test your knowledge of the California Motorcycle Handbook. Taking this test will help you prepare for the official state exam, but passing this test does not guarantee that you will pass the state exam. Make sure that you study the handbook thoroughly before taking either test. Each question on this test is multiple choice with four possible answers. There is only one correct answer for each question, so choose the answer that you believe is best. Each question comes with a hint to help guide you to the correct answer. (Note that there will not be hints on the actual CA state exam!) If you choose an incorrect answer to a question, you will be shown the correct answer and an explanation. Then you will automatically proceed to the next question on the test. Before taking the state exam, make sure to study the areas you found difficult on this test. This test contains 25 questions, of which you must answer 21 correctly to pass the exam. Best of luck!
