Yes, you still need to pass the written test at the BMV for your permit. You must hold your permit for 30 days. After that 30 days is up you can go into the BMV and get your endorsed license without having to take a written or riding test.

usually not. when i passed mine…all i did was take the certificate/card with the verification # on it to the dmv and they took my picture and gave me my new license with the M endorsement. no written or road test. hope the same goes for you…made life so much easier. lol. good luck, b safe and keep the rubber side down!

in Texas, the MSF course basically is a prep class for the written portion and replaces the riding portion…
in other words, once you complete the MSF course, you would go to the DPS office that gives the tests, you take the written test only… again, that’s in Texas.
my son recently went thru one of the MSF classes for his license…
check with your local state department of public safety or contact one of the MSF trainers … they can tell you exactly about it for your state.
