Welcome to our free Maryland Motorcycle Permit Practice Test. The questions on this practice test will assess your knowledge of the information in the Maryland MVA Motorcycle Operator Manual. (For best results, make sure you have studied the manual thoroughly before taking either this practice test or the state knowledge test.) All 25 questions on this practice test are multiple choice with four possible answers for each question. To pass this exam, you must answer at least 21 questions correctly. Read each question and the possible answers carefully before you choose the answer that you believe is best. If you are not sure of the correct answer to a question, you can read the hint for that question. (There will be no hints on the actual state knowledge test, of course.) If the answer you selected is correct, you will move on to the next question. If the answer is wrong, you will be shown the correct answer along with a short explanation. Bear in mind that your score on the state exam may not match your score on this practice exam. Good luck!
