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

Maryland doesn't relax its passing score for motorcycle applicants — the 88% threshold matches the regular permit test's famously high bar.

What differs is the subject matter: braking technique, cornering, protective gear, and motorcycle-specific hazards replace the car-focused content of the regular test.

With only 3 questions of leeway out of 25, treat 95%+ as your practice target rather than just 88%, 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.

Maryland's universal helmet law is usually straightforward, but riders sometimes confuse it with other states' age-based exemptions — Maryland's law has none.

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.
