What's the Passing Score on the Colorado Motorcycle Permit Test?

Colorado's motorcycle test raises the bar to 84%, up from the regular permit test's 80%, reflecting how much of the material — countersteering, threshold braking, cornering — has no direct car-driving equivalent to fall back on.

Missing just 4 of the 25 questions is enough to fail, so there's less room for guessing than on the regular test.

Given the 84% bar, treat 90%+ as your practice target rather than just barely clearing 84%, since real testing conditions under time pressure tend to run a few points below your practice average.

Our practice tests break your score down by topic immediately after each set, so a weak spot doesn't stay hidden inside an otherwise decent overall percentage.

Countersteering and threshold-braking questions trip up riders who've never had them explained in plain language, since both work differently than car intuition suggests.

Colorado's age-based helmet law (required only under 18, but eye protection required for everyone) is a common source of confused answers — don't assume it's universal.

Read the explanation on every practice question, correct or not — it's what actually closes these gaps, not just re-answering until you get lucky.
