Rider knowledge test practice, all 8 jurisdictions
83 free tests drawn from 659 questions, including the published Transport for NSW Rider Knowledge Test bank. No account, no paywall.
Transport for NSW is the only Australian agency that publishes a motorcycle question bank. New South Wales riders practise the real questions here, under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence attributed to the State of New South Wales (Transport for NSW). Everywhere else the rider questions are original practice questions written for this site against the current road rules, with the rule or handbook cited on every answer.

Licence stages, learner approved motorcycles and lane filtering rules all differ by jurisdiction, so start where you will actually ride. Each hub leads with what is particular to that jurisdiction.

How every rider ladder is built
Each hub runs the same stages over its own bank. The stage is the same shape everywhere; the questions in it are that jurisdiction's.
- The essentials. Start here. Numbered tests that between them cover the pool once without repeating a question, the whole pool in one sitting, and a short check to find your weak topics.
- Harder situations and road signs. Intersections, roundabouts, lane rules and the signs people read the wrong way round. These are the questions that decide sittings.
- The exam simulator. A full length run with answers held back until the end. No pass mark is claimed here until the published format is checked against the agency.
- The challenge deck. Every question you answer wrong on this site goes into one deck kept in this browser, car and motorcycle together, with nothing sent anywhere and no account behind it. Getting one right takes it out of the deck. Open the deck.
A numbered practice test is one slice of the bank. The slices between them cover the pool once without repeating a question, so working through them in order is the same as reading the whole bank with a score attached. The marathon is the whole pool in one sitting. A topic drill is one section of the bank on its own, marked as you answer. In New South Wales the last stage is a simulator in the real two sections with the real pass marks; everywhere else it is a full length run with no pass mark claimed.
A sign means the same thing to a rider as to a driver, so the same deck of 162 sign questions is used in both classes. The signs are drawn for this site and grouped the way the tests group them in the sign library.
What the seven unverified hubs do not claim
Only one rider test format has been checked against its agency. The other seven hubs say so rather than borrowing a number.
The New South Wales format, 45 questions in two sections needing 12 of 15 and then 29 of 30, was read off the Transport for NSW rider test page on nsw.gov.au and checked on 28 August 2026. No other jurisdiction has had its rider test format checked here yet, so those pages state no test name, no question count and no pass mark, and the runs in their ladders are scored out of the questions they ask.
Rider licence fees, courses and supervised hour rules differ from the car ones, and the rider figures have not been checked for any jurisdiction. The car figures on each car page are for cars and are not repeated on the rider hubs.
Lane filtering, learner approved motorcycles and licence stages differ between jurisdictions and change more often than the car rules do. Where a question turns on one of those, its answer says so and points you at the current rule rather than treating our wording as the law.
Check the current rule before you rely on it
The original questions were written against the road rules and rider handbook of each jurisdiction as we read them. They are practice, not the official test, and the official handbook and the agency remain the material you are tested on. What is checked, and what is not.
Looking for the car tests instead?
Every jurisdiction has a car ladder as well, with its own bank, fees, logbook hours and practical pass rate.

Compare all 8 jurisdictions: fees, pass marks, logbook hours and practical pass rates side by side, each figure carrying its source. Car figures.
How these pages are checked
Every count on this page and on the eight hubs is read off the bank files on the day the site is built. A figure appears only next to the thing it came from, and a pass mark is only printed where the format behind it has been checked against the agency.
