Preparing for the Test

Preparation is key to passing the New Brunswick motorcycle test. Here are some tips to help you study and practice effectively.

Study the New Brunswick Motorcycle Handbook

The motorcycle handbook is your primary source of information for the test. It contains essential details about the rules of the road, traffic signs, and critical safety advice. Make sure to read and understand the content thoroughly, as many questions on the written test are drawn from this material.

Enroll in a Preparation Course

Consider enrolling in a motorcycle training program. Professional instructors can provide valuable guidance on how to ride safely and can simulate test scenarios so that you know what to expect. Many courses also offer classroom instruction that reinforces the information in the motorcycle handbook.

Practice, Practice, Practice

There’s no substitute for experience. Spend as much time as possible practicing on your motorcycle under different conditions. Be sure to focus on the specific skills you’ll be tested on, such as controlling your motorcycle at slow speeds and making quick, safe stops.
