No circle here in Louisiana. You ride off and disappear from the tester's view and when you get back, if you get back, they give you a license.

http://www.ducatigirl.com/california/dmv_moto_test.pdf This explains everything and shows the dimensions to practice the test. You'll want to practice a few times before you take it.Generally you can look up the DMVs that give the test and the test pattern is their already for you to try before hand.(located somewhere in the parking lot or behind the building)

I have never seen a circle but have had to do the box many a time. Take the MSF course or Riders Edge course and in many states you don't have to do the riding test. It will also beneift you more.

like others have said, all of the info is in the book. WI does not have a circle, they take you on a road test with a walkie/talkie type of setup in the helmet. i would rather do the rider's edge course

The MSF is superior in my opinion. Not only do you not have to take a test designed for much smaller bikes but you learn some things that probably even the most seasoned riders never knew. Maybe something that saves your life.

Here are links to the courses uses in Viginia. I'm not sure if these are used anywhere else, so they may not help you.
