Yes, most community colleges and several private schools offer lessons. Take advantage of them.
There are people that swear everyone should have to take lessons, and many believe that it's a waste of money.
Between those two extremes there are some common sense approaches that are entirely dependent on the individual's experience and ability.
I always advocate rider training. However, someone that grew up riding off-road and perhaps learned from very capable coaches may not need structured lessons to learn to control the bike (not to diminish the value of other skills learned and practiced).
In a case like this when you're looking for lessons for the MTO administered M1 Exit test, it doesn't sound like you fit in that category. You don't have the book, and you don't know what they test. From what you've presented, you're a good candidate for a training course. Taking "a lesson" to pass the test is like cramming for an exam and forgetting everything. These are skills, not general knowledge. You need to learn the skills properly, and practice them regularly.
Good luck however you decide to do it - and consider some formal training before or after you try the test.
