View All PlansSouth Dakota has a strong motorcycle culture, with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally being a major event held every August. It attracts riders from around the world and unites them in a place where they can share stories and memories created on two wheels. Becoming a licensed rider in South Dakota is a long but rewarding process, and it all starts with the learning phase.
The official DMV motorcycle operator manual (South Dakota Motorcycle Manual) contains important information on riding theory. You’ll learn basic vehicle control, handling mechanical problems, avoiding crashes, and carrying passengers and cargo. While every aspiring rider should read this manual at least once, we provide an efficient way to evaluate your knowledge before the exam day comes.
Our South Dakota DMV motorcycle permit practice tests are designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official motorcycle knowledge exam. Each practice test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you must score at least 80%, but there’s no rush since you won’t be under the pressure of a countdown. For your convenience, we have omitted any timer from this tool. Take as long as you need for every practice session, and only select an answer when you’re confident in your choice.
An automated assistant will be present during your training sessions, ready to provide personalized answers to your individual questions. Request hints that nudge you in the right direction whenever you get stuck on a difficult question. Our AI coach can help you learn from mistakes and discuss the question at hand in more detail. Since the purpose of these practice tests is to make you a better rider, you can also request real-life examples to understand how South Dakota’s rules and regulations apply to actual riding scenarios.
On the left side of the page, the “Test settings” menu gives you access to several features. Enable the answer popularity function to get an insight into the choices of other students. This feature will allow you to identify difficult questions where misunderstandings are more common. Master these questions by memorizing their correct answers and paying attention to the detailed explanations.
