Montana DMV Test FAQ
How many questions are on the Montana motorcycle (Class M) permit test?
The MT DOJ motorcycle (Class M) knowledge test has 33 multiple-choice questions drawn from the official state handbook — covering road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way, and safe-driving procedures.
Can I retake the Montana knowledge test if I fail?
Yes. Up to 3 attempts; must wait 24 hours between attempts and pay the retest fee each time; after 3 failures the licensing process restarts. You must wait 1 day between attempts. Each retake costs $5.
Can I look at the Montana handbook during the actual test?

You need 26 out of 33 correct — 80% — to pass. The result is displayed immediately after you submit.

Usually yes. Research on multiple-choice exams shows changing an answer helps only when you realize you misread the question — not when you simply feel uncertain. Read carefully once, commit, move on.

Occasionally, but they're not tricks — they're used when multiple listed actions are all correct. If two answer choices look correct and "all of the above" is offered, that's usually the right pick.
