This General Knowledge practice exam contains another 50 questions based on the official CDL manual and updated for December 2025. These questions are designed to prepare you for the General Knowledge portion of your Arkansas Commercial Driver’s License exam. As with our other tests, all questions are multiple-choice, with three possible answers for each question. Only one of the answers is correct. Every time you answer a question, you’ll get immediate feedback with a detailed explanation, so you won’t need to wait until the end of the test to know the correct answers. The practice tests are not timed, so you can take as long as you need to answer each practice question. We recommend that you always check each question’s explanation to gain further insight into the rule being tested. Each question on this CDL practice test also offers a hint, so if you’re stuck on a question, you can use this tip to help you figure out the correct answer. Good luck!

I honestly believe anyone who completes the course will pass the test the first time.
Yes, you have to dedicate some time, but it is very thorough, and the interactive practice makes for fast-paced learning. I passed CDL General Knowledge, Air Brakes, Passenger Vehicle, and School Bus in one sitting the first time.

99% the Identical questions.
Decided with the deadline of my Class A CDL test quickly approaching to try out the one month of practice tests and let me just say, for the state of Arkansas, it was 99% the Identical questions as the actual test. No need to even read the testing packet with this online practice course available.

Practice exams were… Spot on.
Driving Test.org practice exams were spot-on with similar questions that a person will see on the actual CDL-A exams at the DLD I was able to pass with a 92% on the airbrake, 100% on the general knowledge exam and a 96% on the combo exam. A wise investment for anyone pursuing a CDL-A license.

Real DMV test questions.
I’m going to be honest, I did not study at all for my passenger, school bus or airbrakes endorsement. I practiced everything through here and the best part about it is that it gives you an explanation of each answer after you answer the question. This made it so easy for me to remember where I went wrong and why. I never had the need to refer back to my CDL manual when I had all the answers and explanations right there. I’m not a bookworm at all nor am I motivated enough to study for anything unless it’s hands-on study and practice. Did I mention that all the practice question were 100% accurate with the real DMV test? It’s guaranteed to make you pass your exam. If you are anything like me and very skeptical about fake reviews and have your doubts, then try this for yourself.

Driving-tests.org works!
I got to admit I'm not very good when it comes to book studying. Driving-tests.org was probably the best site I could've found. Did all the practice test every single chance that I had and I passed my CDL permit! I was able to get it on my third try just because of the little time I had to study the first two times but I focused hard and did their site every day and boom passed!

Failed twice before finding this.
I downloaded the CDL exam materials from the DMV site and studid very hard, and I failed twice. After I found driving-tests.org and studied their material online for two weeks, I passed three exams. This site is a guarantee for anyone if they want to pass the CDL exam. I recommend for everyone.
