Alaska Motorcycle Permit Exam Simulator
A full-length mock motorcycle knowledge test: Alaska does not publish the count or pass mark; we use 30 questions at 80%. New questions every attempt.
How this simulator works
- Knowledge test: 30 questions, 24 correct to pass.
- No time limit, like the real test. Take your time.
- You won’t see whether you were right until the end, just like at the Alaska test. Then you can review every answer with its explanation.
- Questions are drawn fresh from the full Alaska bank each time.
Sample questions

- A Over 50cc
- B 100cc or more
- C 250cc or more
- D Any engine size, even under 50cc
Show answer
A. Over 50cc
An Alaska M1 license covers motorcycles with engines over 50cc, and an M3 covers three-wheeled motorcycles over 50cc. Motorcycles and scooters under 50cc can be ridden on a basic driver license.

The Alaska Motorcycle Manual divides each lane into three "mini-lanes." About how wide is each one?
- A About two feet
- B About six feet
- C About eight feet
- D About four feet
Show answer
D. About four feet
Each marked lane gives a rider three paths of travel, each mini-lane about four feet wide. Choosing the right one helps you be seen and keep a space cushion.
When is wet pavement especially slippery?
- A After several hours of steady, heavy rain have soaked the road
- B Only when the temperature is below freezing
- C Just after it starts to rain, before surface oil washes away
- D Only on gravel roads
Show answer
C. Just after it starts to rain, before surface oil washes away
Wet pavement is most slippery just after it starts to rain, because oil on the surface has not yet washed to the side. Slow down and avoid sudden moves when the rain first begins.
What equipment must your motorcycle have before you carry a passenger?
- A A tall sissy bar for the passenger to lean back against
- B A sidecar or luggage rack
- C A proper seat and a separate set of passenger footpegs
- D Extra mirrors for the passenger
Show answer
C. A proper seat and a separate set of passenger footpegs
A motorcycle carrying a passenger needs a seat large enough for both people without crowding and a separate set of footpegs for the passenger. Without firm footing, a passenger can fall and pull you off too.
