A full-length mock motorcycle knowledge test: Mississippi does not publish the count or pass mark; we use 30 questions at 80%. New questions every attempt.
How this simulator works

- 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 Mississippi test. Then you can review every answer with its explanation.
- Questions are drawn fresh from the full Mississippi bank each time.

Why should you use the front brake every time you slow or stop?
- A It is the only brake that turns on the brake light
- B It cannot lock up, unlike the rear brake
- C It is more powerful, giving at least 70% of stopping power
- D It is gentler and less likely to slow you sharply
Show answer
C. It is more powerful, giving at least 70% of stopping power
The front brake is more powerful and can provide at least 70% of your total stopping power. Using both brakes every time builds the habit you need for an emergency stop.
Under normal conditions, what is the minimum following distance behind the vehicle ahead?
- A Two seconds
- B One second
- C Three car lengths
- D Four seconds
Show answer
A. Two seconds
Normally keep at least two seconds behind the vehicle ahead: when its rear bumper passes a marker, count one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two. If you reach the marker before you finish counting, you are too close.
During a quick stop, your front wheel locks. What should you do?
- A Keep it locked until you have stopped
- B Release both brakes and coast to a stop
- C Squeeze harder to stop in a shorter distance
- D Release the front brake immediately, then reapply it firmly
Show answer
D. Release the front brake immediately, then reapply it firmly
If the front wheel locks, release the front brake immediately, then reapply it firmly while pressing down on the rear brake. A front-wheel skid causes immediate loss of steering control and balance.
