Take a shot at this North Carolina Motorcycle permit practice test to see if you are prepared to ace the official exam and hit the road on your bike. The format of this 50 question practice test is very similar to that of the official exam. Each practice question is designed to evaluate your knowledge of the official North Carolina Motorcyclists’ Handbook, the same document that the official exam is based upon. Take a peek at the optional hint if you struggle to choose correct answer. Each question’s explanation will help you review the information you are being tested on and that will later re-appear at the DMV. This NC motorcycle permit practice exam is the most efficient way to prepare to pass the real exam with flying colors!
