DVSA motorcycle theory test

Free motorcycle theory test practice

14 free motorbike mock tests covering the whole question bank. Every answer is explained, and each test is marked against the real pass mark of 43 out of 50.

How these motorcycle mock tests work

Each test is a fresh set of 49 or 50 multiple-choice questions from the motorcycle question bank, so working through all 14 covers every question once. You answer on screen, see straight away whether you were right, and read a short explanation of the rule or riding decision behind the answer. Your score at the end is compared with the real pass mark of 43 out of 50.

The tests are free and you do not need an account. The questions follow the topics the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) tests riders on, such as road position, braking, protective gear, vulnerable road users and motorway rules. They are practice material, not the live test paper, so learn the reasoning rather than the position of the right answer.

Getting more out of each test

  • Start cold. Take test 1 without revising, so the result shows what you actually know.
  • Sort your mistakes. Rider questions (machine checks, cornering, clothing, pillions) need different revision from general Highway Code questions (signs, limits, junctions).
  • Wait before repeating a test. Two or three days is enough to stop you remembering the answer order.
  • Aim higher than the pass mark. Scoring 46 or more on tests you have not seen before leaves room for nerves on the day.

Hazard perception is a separate skill that still pictures cannot train. Read how motorcycle hazard perception is scored and the motorcycle theory test format before you book. If a question surprises you, the answers riders most often look up are explained rule by rule.

The current multiple-choice format is described by GOV.UK.
