The roads of Alabama are yours to explore. Whether you prefer an iconic Harley Davidson or a nimble Kawasaki, it is crucial that you ride safely under the speed limit, follow traffic laws, and obey indications from road signs. To obtain a motorcycle permit in the Yellowhammer State, you must pass a 30-question written knowledge test and an on-cycle skills test. We’ll help you prepare for the official written knowledge exam by providing an intuitive study tool. But first, you should familiarize yourself with the content of the official DMV motorcycle operator manual (Alabama Motorcycle Manual).

Our Alabama DMV Motorcycle practice tests are based on this handbook. They come with several features designed to make studying an easier and more enjoyable experience for you. Each practice test has been updated for February 2025. To pass, you must score at least 80%, but it is perfectly normal to fail during your first few attempts. Do not let low scores discourage you. We understand that mistakes negatively affect motivation and performance, and that’s why we give you the opportunity to learn from them. After each question, immediate feedback is provided. This detailed explanation helps you understand why your choice was wrong. Unlike other practice tests that reveal your score at the end, we offer a progress overview located at the top-left side of the page. It displays in real time the number of mistakes, how many questions you got right, and how many more mistakes you can make before you fail.

Start today and train with our DMV Motorcycle practice tests on a daily basis. With repetition, you’ll memorize the correct answer to every question. During each training session, our helpful automated assistant can provide personalized answers to your individual questions. Additionally, you can request hints that will nudge you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. Make sure you only proceed to the next question once you understand the detailed explanation provided. You have plenty of tools and features at your disposal, so you should use them to your advantage and boost your learning process.
