Unlike other states, Louisiana does not offer a separate motorcycle license. All applicants must have a valid full driver’s license (not an intermediate license) with a motorcycle endorsement to legally operate a motorcycle in the Pelican State. The minimum age to obtain this endorsement is 16. Applicants must complete a OMV-approved Basic Rider Course (BRC). A motorcycle knowledge test and an on-cycle skills test are required to obtain a motorcycle endorsement, but completion of the BRC may exempt you from the skills test. If you’re under 18, your parent or guardian must come with you to give their consent to your motorcycle endorsement.

We’ll help you pass the official motorcycle knowledge exam on your first attempt. Our Louisiana OMV motorcycle permit practice tests are designed to familiarize you with the various aspects of riding theory described in the official OMV motorcycle operator manual (Louisiana Motorcycle Manual). This manual explains safe riding techniques, crash avoidance, group riding, and wearing the right gear. It is also important to know that riding between lanes of traffic (often called lane splitting) is illegal in Louisiana.

Each of our practice tests has been updated for February 2025. You’ll need to answer 30 multiple-choice questions and score at least 80% to pass. For your convenience, we have omitted any timer from this educational tool, allowing you to take as much time as you need to progress through each practice test. Read every question twice and only select an answer when confident in your choice. Nobody was born an expert on any subject, and riding is a lifelong skill that can only be improved with practice. Patience and consistency are essential for building the foundation for this skill and becoming a safe and responsible rider on Louisiana’s roads.

Our practice tests feature a simple and straightforward interface. They can be accessed even by those who are not skilled with computers. After each session, you can immediately start another one, as there are unlimited attempts for all students. We recommend ignoring your score during your first few attempts when you’re more likely to fail. Instead, learn from your mistakes through our immediate feedback feature, which provides a detailed explanation of the correct answer for each question.
