About This Test
This course teaches the Tennessee motorcycle knowledge test. It covers safe riding: gear, controls, curves, traffic, hazards, passengers and alcohol. It is the test for a motorcycle endorsement or a motorcycle license, and it is separate from the car knowledge test.
Passing the knowledge test does not by itself let you ride. You must also pass an on-cycle skills test, unless Tennessee waives it for a rider who has completed an approved rider course - one of the things that differs most between states, so confirm it with the agency.
The test is given by Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, not by this site.
You sit it at a licensing office. Tennessee DOS office locations lists them, and many take appointments rather than walk-ins, so check before you travel.
The endorsement age, the documents to bring, the fee, and whether an approved rider course can stand in for the on-cycle skills test are all set by Tennessee, and they change. Confirm them on Tennessee DOS licensing.
