Ready to hit the road on two wheels? Getting your motorcycle learner’s license (Class 6/8) from ICBC is your first step toward motorcycle freedom. This simple step-by-step guide will help you challenge the ICBC knowledge test with confidence.

Step-by-Step Guide to Passing the ICBC Motorcycle Knowledge Test

Step 1: Study “Learn to Ride Smart”

Begin by downloading and reading ICBC’s official motorcycle guide: Learn to Ride Smart. It’s a straightforward read filled with essential motorcycle safety tips, road rules, and riding scenarios. Don’t try to memorize everything, instead, focus on understanding practical situations you may encounter on the road.

Step 2: Take Practice Tests

While ICBC doesn’t provide an official motorcycle-specific practice test, taking their Class 5/7 practice test is goingn to be very helpful. You’ll encounter questions on general driving rules, road safety, and scenarios similar to those found on your motorcycle knowledge test.

• General Driving Practice Test: Take the ICBC Practice Test
• Road Signs Test: Practice ICBC Road Signs

Practicing these tests helps you familiarize yourself with the question formats and the kind of scenarios ICBC typically presents.

What to Expect on Your ICBC Motorcycle Knowledge Test

The motorcycle knowledge test typically includes around 50 questions covering:

• General driving rules and road safety.
• Motorcycle-specific questions.
• Road signs and signals.
• Practical scenario questions (“What would you do in this situation?” or “Identify what’s wrong in this photo”).

Effective Strategy to Pass the Test

You must correctly answer 80% of the questions (40 out of 50) to pass. Here’s the best way to approach it:

• Answer Confidently: First, answer the questions you’re certain about.
• Skip When Unsure: You can skip questions you’re unsure about and revisit them later.
• Double-check Carefully: After confidently answering 40 questions correctly, the test ends. Carefully review the skipped questions if you still need additional correct answers.

This approach ensures you maximize your chances of passing without stress.
