Welcome to our free Virginia Motorcycle License practice test. This practice test is provided free of charge and should be taken by anyone who is studying to get their Virginia Motorcycle Endorsement. Before answering the questions on our test, carefully read and study the Virginia Motorcycle Operators Manual. All of the questions on this test are based on information found in the manual. Like the Virginia state exam, each question on our practice test is multiple-choice. For each question there are four answers to choose from but only one answer is correct for each question. Use our hint feature to help you answer a question that you are finding tough, but remember that there are no hints on the actual state exam. When you pick the right answer, we’ll take you to the next question. If you choose the wrong answer, we’ll explain to which answer was right and why. It would be a good idea to study the areas you have trouble with. You can take this practice test as many times as you like. You will pass the test when you get at least 21 of the 25 questions correct. Good luck!
