AK CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

Before you set off for the Alaska DMV to take the General Knowledge exam for your Commercial Vehicle Licensure (CDL), it’s crucial to have everything ready. Start by collecting the necessary paperwork. This includes verification of a valid standard motor vehicle driver’s license, a foundational requirement for a CDL. Also, your citizenship or lawful residency status will be confirmed, so bring a birth certificate, social security card, or work eligibility proof in the U.S. Importantly, don’t forget a valid medical examiner’s certificate, or DOT card, showing you’re physically fit to operate a commercial vehicle. This is typically valid for 24 months, unless you need more frequent checks due to a specific condition.

Moving on to the General Knowledge test, it consists of 50 multiple-choice questions. You’ll have one hour to complete it, and you need an 80% score, that’s at least 40 correct answers, to pass. If you don’t pass, you’ll have to wait until the next day to retake it. Remember, passing this test is a prerequisite for specific endorsements like Passenger Vehicles, Doubles/Triples, Tank Vehicles, Hazardous Materials, and Air Brake Restriction Removal skills.

To prepare effectively, study Alaska’s official commercial driver’s manual thoroughly. It’s packed with all the information you need to ace the test. Boost your preparedness by taking practice tests, like our AK General Knowledge Practice Test. This can familiarize you with the test format and significantly improve your odds of passing. So, why wait? Begin your practice today and take that next step towards earning your CDL!
