Sri Lanka Motorcycle Written Test study plan

List the 12 road-rule topics you must master (speed limits, overtaking, lane position, junctions, pedestrian crossings, signals by hand, parking, alcohol limits, helmet law, pillion rules, night riding, expressway rules) and rate your confidence 1-5 on each

Memorise the default speed limits for built-up areas, rural roads and expressways, and write each one next to a sketch of where it applies

Draw and label the four main hand signals a rider must give and the three given by traffic police, then self-test until you recall all seven without notes

Read the official rule summary for overtaking, following distance and lane discipline, and write a one-line rule for each in your own words

Sort at least 40 road signs into regulatory, warning and information groups and state the required rider action for each

Identify the road markings that govern lane use, stop lines, crossings and no-parking zones, and match each to its rule

Explain the difference in meaning between a circular red-bordered sign, a triangular sign and a rectangular blue sign, with two examples each

Practise reading a junction layout from a written description and state who has right of way in five different scenarios

Combine rules and signs by answering 60 mixed practice questions and tagging every wrong answer to its domain and subtopic

Re-derive the right-of-way rule at uncontrolled junctions, roundabouts and T-junctions and write the sequence of checks you would make

Memorise the traffic light sequences including flashing signals and arrow signals, and state the correct action for each

List the situations where a rider must stop, give way or sound a horn, and the situations where horn use is prohibited

Demonstrate the pre-ride check sequence (tyres, brakes, lights, horn, mirrors, chain, fuel) and write it as a seven-step checklist you can recite

Describe the correct braking technique on wet and gravel surfaces and explain why front and rear brake use differs

Identify the five most common motorcycle crash scenarios in Sri Lanka (junction pull-out, overtaking, pedestrian crossing, pillion imbalance, night visibility) and state one prevention action for each

Explain how alcohol, fatigue and rain affect reaction time and stopping distance, with the legal alcohol limit stated correctly

Practise hazard perception by reading five written road scenarios and naming the hazard, the risk and the action within 30 seconds each

List the motorcycle and scooter classes recognised for licensing in Sri Lanka and the engine capacity or category that separates them

Identify every document a rider must carry (licence, registration, insurance, revenue licence, emission certificate) and state its validity period and renewal process

Explain the registration steps for a new or imported motorcycle in the correct order, from customs clearance to number plate issue

Describe what third-party insurance covers, what it excludes, and the consequences of riding uninsured

State the helmet law, pillion passenger rules and load-carrying limits, and explain the penalty for each breach

Work through 40 scenario-based safety questions and justify each answer in one sentence before checking it

Explain how to ride defensively at night, in heavy rain and in dense traffic, giving three concrete techniques for each condition

Describe the correct actions after a minor collision: stopping, exchanging details, reporting, and insurance notification

Rehearse the vehicle-class rules by matching five licence categories to the vehicles they permit and the restrictions that apply

Review your weeks 1-5 error logs and re-answer every previously missed question until each is correct twice in a row

Complete two full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and record the score and time for each

Analyse every wrong answer from both mocks and assign it to one of the four domains to expose your weakest area

Re-study only the weakest domain using your cheat sheet and flashcards, then re-test that domain in isolation

Memorise the numbers most often tested (speed limits, alcohol limit, document validity periods, following distance) and recite them without notes

Take three final timed mock tests and aim for a consistent score of 85% or higher on each

Recite the full rule and sign cheat sheet, the pre-ride checklist and the documents table from memory without prompts

Review the official test format, question count and pass mark, and plan your exam-day logistics including documents to carry

Do a final pass over any question type you have still missed more than once and write a corrected rule for each
