Alabama CDL Class A Practice Test 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

Are you considering a career as a commercial driver in Alabama? With growing demand for freight and logistics services across the Yellowhammer State, now is an ideal time to get your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Whether you plan to haul timber through rural roads or drive a truck on busy interstates like I-65 and I-20, it is crucial to prioritize safety. Narrow two-lane highways, heavy rain conditions, and steep inclines in mountainous areas can challenge even experienced drivers.

As an aspiring commercial driver, you must study commercial driving theory before you can begin the licensing process. Stopping distances, pre-trip inspections, air brake systems, and safe driving procedures are some of the topics described in the official Alabama Commercial Driver License Manual (Alabama CDL Handbook 2025). This resource is published by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (DMV) and should not be missing from your toolkit.

Our Alabama CDL Class A Practice Test is an intuitive tool designed to boost your learning potential. It includes 96 questions, each with multiple answer choices. Only one answer is correct, so take a moment to think carefully before making your selection. You must score 80% or higher to pass. Although the official general knowledge exam is timed, our practice test lets you study at your own pace. If you interrupt an active session, your progress is automatically saved as long as you’re not in private browsing mode.

Your personal Challenge Bank™ can help you identify areas that need improvement and learn from your mistakes. Questions you get wrong will be added to your Challenge Bank, where they will remain until you get them right. Visit this section between practice sessions to improve your knowledge through active learning. Premium users can manually add any question to their Challenge Bank by clicking the bookmark icon in the top-right corner of the page.

This practice test is up to date as of December 2025 to reflect the latest updates brought by DMV rules or state law. Use it consistently alongside the official commercial driver license manual to ace the official general knowledge exam on your first attempt and start your career with confidence.

I was scared at first.
I was scared at first because all these other websites were so out of date and incorrect questions for the Alabama permit test, but studying all night really paid off the next day!
A
It's amazing. Passed with flying colors!
I went through all my cdl tests and done really well. Went and took my exam, and passed with flying colors. this site is amazing. It helped me so much — really, really appreciate it. I encourage everybody to try this - give it a shot.
S
This curriculum is OUTSTANDING….
I was extremely relieved, I would even say that I pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use and to prepare for my test. I passed my test with a 100 only four days after beginning to study for it. To say that I’m ecstatic with the results, is an understatement!
JHB
Fast and easy.
My ELDT ertificate was registered with the TSA within minutes of me completing the course. Everything is multiple choice and they explained the answer for each question below after you answer. Took the course Friday night on my phone and got my endorsement added on Monday. Best part is you can choose to read the material or have it read to you.
JP
Highly recommended.
I started this with zero knowledge of the CDL book. Two weeks later, after putting the study time in to get my passing probability to 100%, I passed general knowledge, air brakes, combination vehicles, and hazmat on my first attempt.
TD
The best choice ever.
Well, I feel I have made the best decision when I choose this to get my CDL. They keep you hooked all the time while you learn and you learn so well that I remember the day I took my test everybody was nervous and I felt way beyond confident and I know because I was really ready. Thanks to you guys to me, every question I answer was kind of a bonus because you guys prepare me so well that everything was smooth and I felt proud of myself. Now I have my CDL. Thank you again.
DEPM
Passed Easily!
I gave myself a short window, 2 days, to study for and pass all 5 of the exams to required to obtain my cdl. I used the practice tests in conjunction with the dmv manual to focus my studying. I passed all of the tests easily. The dmv worker even commented on how quickly I completed all of the exams. Using driving-tests.org enabled me to study smarter not harder.
