California Motorcycle Permit Test Simulator 2025

Average pass rate for motorcycle tests in California: 54%.
Average pass rate for this test: 78%.
Easy
10 min

This practice test is crafted to look just like the real exam. The questions come directly from the official California Motorcycle Handbook and look similar to the questions you will get when you take the official test at the DMV. Because this is still a practice test, are welcome to use hints as you go through the questions to get some help. Use the hints at first, but as you get near to your test day, stop relying on the hints. Answer the questions on your own to make sure you know the answers. If you choose a wrong answer, the test shows you the right answer. Write it down and study that topic more. It could come up on the official CA exam, and you want to make sure you get it right when you’re at the DMV.
