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

Louisiana didn't raise the bar for motorcycle applicants — the 80% threshold matches the regular permit test exactly.

But with only 25 questions instead of 40, each individual question is worth more of your total score, leaving less room to shrug off a handful of misses.

Treat 80% as a floor, not a target — aim for 90%+ across every topic area in practice, 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.

Louisiana's helmet law is genuinely universal — some riders assume an age exemption exists when there is none, since several neighboring states use one.

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.
