Dweezel Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 just read everything twice, I messed up a few questions because of the way they were worded, well more accurately the way the answers were worded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4iBunny Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah, if you've read the book you should be fine. As long as you actually read it not just skimmed it assuming you know what it's gonna say. They ask trick questions or ask you the same ones with different wording. It's not bad. Some questions are just general traffic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_SV650 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Here is the trick, if there is one that you do not know, just skip it. It will put that question as the last on the test. This way you don't have to worry about getting the ones you don't know wrong early. If you answer enough of the others right by the time you get there it wont make a difference.

rockstarhonda Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 When you are taking the test, read every question twice they try to trick you with changing a few words around. You will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocrash Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Definitely read the book, there are a lot of questions that are specific to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you answer enough of the others right by the time you get there it wont make a difference.Actually, its better than that. If you get to a question you don't know, skip it. It randomly pulls like 52 questions, but you only have to answer 50 (numbers are estimate). If you skip a few, you won't see them again.

magley64 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 it's a breeze, just use your head, and choose the one that makes the most sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 its a lot of common sense stuff, along with basic driving lessons. but there is some information in there you will need to read. GL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demitrix Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I figure its pretty easy, the drivers test was a joke, i only missed one cause i was goin too fast and didnt even read all the answers lol. So i figure the motorcycle one will be similar, mostly common sense. Other than the few things ive picked up outta the motorcycle manual.

dustinsn3485 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The first time I took it I skimmed the manual and took the test. No issues.Second time about 2 years later just walked in and took it, same, no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonkerS Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah, the written permit test is a freaking cake walk. I had only skimmed through the book they give you with the packet a lil' beforehand (although I had been researching/reading up on riding for months) and didn't miss a single one. Most of the test was general Ohio traffic laws with some motorcycle related questions thrown in here and there. My buddy that went with me didn't know jack about riding and didn't look at/read anything. Went straight in, took test and passed...granted he almost failed, but still passed.So if you know Ohio traffic laws, and skim through the MC booklet, you're golden. Congrats on the permit, and welcome to the habit!Oh, and the test was 40 questions total. Once you answer 75% correctly (which is 30 if you miss none) then the test automatically stops and you pass. So you'll answer 30-40 questions depending on your competency level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
