I was just wondering if a Class B endorsement was required for a Private Pilot Check-ride in the US?

You do not need a Class B endorsement for your PPL Check ride.
By the time you get to you check ride you should have the first 8 endorsements from this list, provided by the FAA.
I will add one caveat to this. During your check ride your examiner will ask you plan a cross country flight. If the route calls for it and you have the endorsement you can plan it through Class B. However if you plan it through Class B your examiner may ask for the endorsement or try and trip you up over it. if you plan a course through Class B without the endorsement the DPE may not stop you when you get in the air. Be careful as you can bust a checkride for this.

$\begingroup$ There is a later version of 61-65E, dated 1/6/13, vs the 11/29/05 document linked to above. Here is the later one: faa.gov/documentlibrary/media/advisory_circular/… $\endgroup$ Jul 13, 2018 at 15:05

$\begingroup$ FAA also has an update Airman Testing Questions & Answers guide, 19 pages of things you might be asking about, so I won't copy it here. faa.gov/training_testing/testing/media/questions_answers.pdf $\endgroup$ Jul 13, 2018 at 15:10
