When your friend gets last-minute Cubs tickets or finds “the best deep-dish pizza in all of Chicago,” you’ll be ready to grab your keys and go – if you have your driver’s license or motorcycle classification. The first step is to pass a written knowledge test. (If you’re interested in driving cars, you’ll have to obtain an instruction permit if you’re under 18; otherwise, it’ll be optional. If your goal is to ride motorcycles, you may take a knowledge test either at a Driver Services Facility or as part of an approved motorcycle rider education course.) Whichever type of motor vehicle you wish to operate, whichever knowledge tests you need to pass, we’ve pulled some things together to help you out! Below, you can find the official handbooks to study and a variety of practice tests to take. The questions on our practice tests resemble those on the official knowledge tests, so you’ll learn what to expect on the official tests.
