Question 30 of 30

It is recommended that you take a practice test before you take the actual written test. Please note, however, that this is not the actual test, and you will not receive your license if you pass this sample practice test. If you’re getting your motorcycle licence, you've come to the right place.

This online practice test, with multiple choice questions, is intended to help you prepare for the Nova Scotia Motorcycle license written knowledge test that is required before you can get your motorcycle licence. This free practice written test is a lesson that is essential for getting your motorcycle licence at your local licensing office.

Anyone who lives in Nova Scotia and wants to operate a motorcycle on public roads and highways needs either a separate motorcycle driver’s licence or an endorsement on their regular driver’s licence.
