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

Hawaii's motorcycle exam trims five questions off the 30-question car permit test yet keeps an identical 80% passing threshold, so the number of misses allowed shrinks along with the test itself — five instead of six — even though the percentage required stays flat.

Since the license involved, Class 2, is a completely separate class from a regular Class 3 license, don't assume anything you crammed for the car permit test carries over automatically to this one.

Aim to consistently clear 90% in practice rather than treating 80% as a target to just barely reach, since real testing conditions under an actual county clerk's eye tend to shave a few points off whatever you're hitting in relaxed home practice.

Checking your results broken down by topic, not just as one overall percentage, catches a specific weak spot an aggregate score would otherwise hide until it costs you on the real attempt.

A Class 2 license covers a full motorcycle or scooter outright, a rider who already holds any Class 3 driver's license can operate a moped with no extra endorsement step required at all, and a non-driver with no car license can instead apply for a standalone Class 1 moped-only license.

Mixing up which of those three classes actually covers which vehicle is one of the easiest ways to lose points on this particular section of the exam.
