Here is our free West Virginia Motorcycle License practice test. All the questions on this test are based on information found in the West Virginia Motorcycle Operators Manual and have been designed with the actual state exam in mind. Answering these practice questions is an excellent way to test your knowledge of the Motorcycle Operators Manual, but passing our test does not guarantee you will pass the state exam. Each practice question has four different answers to choose from. Only one answer is correct, so choose the answer you think is best. Each question also has a unique hint that you can read to help you answer the question. Some hints will help eliminate answers, others will point you towards the right one. It is important to note that there aren’t any hints on the actual state exam. When you select an incorrect answer, the correct answer will be shown to you. Choosing the right answer will move you on to the next question. In order to pass our practice test, you will need to answer 21 of the 25 questions correctly. Good luck!
