How the Mississippi motorcycle test works

  • An endorsement on your licenseMississippi riders add a motorcycle endorsement to a valid Mississippi driver’s license by passing a written knowledge test and a riding skills test. Motor scooters count as motorcycles under state law, so they need the endorsement too. (Mississippi Driver Service Bureau: Motorcycle Endorsement)
  • A learner’s permit from 15The motorcycle learner’s permit is available from age 15. You keep it for one year, or until you turn 17 if that comes sooner; a Mississippi driver’s license itself starts at 16. (Mississippi Driver Service Bureau: Motorcycle Endorsement)
  • A safety class can replace the skills testFinishing a motorcycle safety class endorsed by AAMVA means you don’t take the riding skills test, but you still take the knowledge test. Riders moving in with a valid out-of-state motorcycle endorsement aren’t tested again. (Mississippi Driver Service Bureau: Motorcycle Endorsement)
  • The MSF manual is the study guideThe Driver Service Bureau links the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Motorcycle Operator Manual (17th edition) as Mississippi’s motorcycle manual; this practice test follows it. (Mississippi Driver Service Bureau: Download Printable Driver’s Manual)

Based on the Mississippi Motorcycle Operator Manual (17th Edition). Official licensing agency.
