Have you ever wanted to ride a Harley-Davidson from Detroit to Grand Rapids? Perhaps you’re more interested in a Japanese sports bike. Regardless of your preferences, all riders in Michigan must ride safely and adhere to local laws. Until you can ride freely in the Wolverine State, you must study and build the foundation for your riding skills.

Our Michigan SOS motorcycle permit practice tests make it easy for you to master this subject. This intuitive tool uses a different approach to studying the various aspects of riding theory described in the official SOS motorcycle operator manual (Michigan Motorcycle Manual). Each practice test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you must score at least 80%. We recommend ignoring your score if you intend to use this tool for educational purposes. These practice tests can help you become a safe and responsible rider by boosting your learning potential.

At any point during each training session, you can activate the voice-over feature. This function can be found on the left side of the page, under the “Test settings” menu. Once activated, an artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud. Students with an auditory memory greatly benefit from this feature, allowing them to retain information more efficiently. Train with our practice tests even while multitasking or in an environment where reading is not feasible. You get unlimited attempts, and since we have omitted any timer from this tool, there’s no need to rush through the questions.
