Sorry to make 3 consecutive posts, but I thought this information might be useful to others thinking about taking the permit written test or who want to supplement the DMV written book with more info. Here is the VA DMV practice test website:

You select the "Motorcycle License" Practice Test and it runs you through 10 mock questions that are all very similar if not the exact same questions that appear on the actual test at the DMV.
I did the practice test 6 times for a total of 60 questions. Yes, alot of the questions repeate from test to test, but I probably saw a total of 25 new/different questions out of those 60.
I also read the book and highlighted briefly, but felt like I already knew where to look in the book and from which sections the questions would be coming from.
This helped me get a 24/25 on my test and got me my permit. The guy behind me wasnt so lucky.
