Free Indiana BMV Motorcycle Permit Practice Test 2025

Picture yourself cruising on endless stretches of highway in the heart of the Midwest. Riding a motorcycle on roads surrounded by fields of corn and open plains makes for easy and relaxing rides. Those who have a busy schedule and cannot embark on a cross-country journey with their touring motorcycles prefer to explore the beauty of Indiana, leaving early in the morning and returning home after the dawn of a weekend day. To experience the sense of freedom often chased by many riders, you’ll have to get licensed.

The Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) issues motorcycle endorsements to residents of Indiana who are at least 16 years and 180 days of age and hold a valid driver’s license. Applicants must either complete an approved Ride Safe Indiana motorcycle safety training course or pass a 25-question motorcycle knowledge exam and a skills test. Although this can be a difficult process for beginners, it is a necessary step to become a safe and responsible rider.

We’ll help you pass the official motorcycle knowledge exam on your first attempt. Our Indiana BMV motorcycle permit practice tests can significantly boost your learning potential. When you study with a tool that closely reflects the content and format of the official exam, you replace anxiety with confidence. Develop a better understanding of the various aspects of riding theory described in the official BMV motorcycle operator manual (Indiana Motorcycle Manual) through our practice tests.

You get unlimited attempts and non-stop access, so there’s no limit to how often you can practice with this intuitive tool. Each practice test has been updated for January 2025 and consists of 30 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you must score at least 80%, but it is perfectly normal to make mistakes and fail on your first few attempts. Do not let a low score discourage you. Be consistent in your training, and you’ll be ready to take the official motorcycle knowledge exam within a few weeks.

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
