First-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants

Whether they’re transporting freight along I-25 and I-70 or agriculture across the Eastern Plains and mountain passes, drivers with a commercial driver’s license (CDL) keep the Centennial State economy moving. In order to obtain a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), you must pass the Colorado DMV CDL General Knowledge Test (among other requirements). The official exam contains 50 questions, of which you must correctly answer at least 40 to earn the required 80% minimum passing score. Our Colorado DMV General Knowledge Practice Tests cut away all the fluff and feature the material you truly need to pass the exam. Our practice tests feature a Challenge Bank™ that remembers any questions you miss and recycles them into your queue to make sure you learn everything you’ll need to pass the official exam on your first attempt.

For this type of exam, you’ll need to do more than just memorize static pdfs or study guides (which may be outdated). You need the interactive capabilities of our AI-powered practice tests that provide explanations after each question. Instead of being bombarded by corrections at the end (like what is commonly provided by other resources), you’ll learn as you go. Our tests also feature an end-of-session review that highlights any weak areas that need further study.

With our state-specific preparatory materials, you’ll cover topics like vehicle inspections, basic vehicle control, proper shifting, communicating with other road users, maintaining visibility, managing space, controlling speed, and recognizing hazards. You’ll also need to understand distracted and aggressive driving, fatigue, night driving, fog, winter weather, railroad crossings, mountain driving, skids, fires, crashes, and emergency procedures. You’ll also learn how to manage the cargo you are hauling, including safe loading, weight distribution, securement, and the inspections required before and during a trip. With so much material to master, our expert-crafted practice tests cover it all and ensure you are fully prepared.

Don’t allow the substantial volume of study material from the state’s CDL Manual to overwhelm you. Our experts have put in the time and energy to create an entire series of state-specific practice tests to help you, not only with the General Knowledge Exam but with many other endorsements.
