Free Connecticut CDL HazMat Endorsement Practice Test 2025

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

From the freedom of the rolling hills and coastal lowlands to the busy urban traffic, you’ll get a real taste of country and city life while driving through Connecticut. You’re here, so you must be considering adding the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) endorsement to your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). That’s smart thinking as you can increase the marketability of your CDL and potentially increase the size of your bank account. The Hazmat endorsement permits drivers aged 21 and over to transport materials that the U.S. government has deemed hazardous. If you don’t have the endorsement, you are cut off from an entire class of cargo transport!

Once endorsed, you can transport cargo such as explosives, certain types of fuel, industrial chemicals, radioactive materials, and infectious substances. We can hear you: “Am I supposed to feel good about hauling radioactive material?” Rest assured that the most important objective of this endorsement process is to ensure your safety and protect the people and environment in your driving area.

First, you’ll need to pass a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) fingerprinting and background check. That’s just step one. Step two is passing the DMV knowledge test. The knowledge test covers federal regulations, substance handling, and a host of other topics. Connecticut’s knowledge test is made up of 30 questions and must be passed with a score of at least 80% (24 out of 30 answers must be correct) (Connecticut CDL Handbook 2025).

Let’s get back to the potential income increase available. After all, isn’t that the point? In the Constitution State, there are multiple industries that require a Hazmat endorsement to haul chemicals used in manufacturing, gasoline, propane, pesticides, and materials associated with the state’s large pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Pfizer (Groton), General Electric (Fairfield), and Yale New Haven (North Haven) are just some of the companies that require hazmat-holding drivers. Lucrative, right? Check out how we’ve streamlined the process.

Our online DMV Connecticut CDL Hazmat Endorsement practice tests are designed to avoid all the extraneous information you’ll come across. We go straight to the relevant material and mirror the official DMV test. Apply for your fingerprinting and background check. Then, while you wait, study with our practice tests. Once you receive the results and feel prepared, visit the DMV with the necessary documents, pay the fees, and take the test.

Practice questions were identical to the actual HazMat test in Connecticut.
All of the material made it easy to study. I spent a few hours across 2 days going over the material and felt completely confident in passing. I passed with 25 questions (1 incorrect, overthinking it). This was also way easier and price was better than attending the trucking school where I obtained my CDL.
A
Excellent course.
I used this course to get my hazmat. It was easy to use. I appreciated the audio and visual format of the course. There were so many practice questions which was super helpful to pass the test. I took my test and passed with 100% in less than 5 minutes!
JS
I have been driving truck for almost 34 years.
I have been driving truck for almost 34 years and held a hazmat endorsement for quite a few of those years. DMV could not find any records of my hazmat endorsement, so in order to get my hazmat, I was required to take the ELDT training. I reluctantly put the money out for the training, passed and got my certificate. All said and done, I'm glad I did, because not only did it help me to remember some of my previous training, but I learned there was a lot I didn't know. I would recommend it to every driver.
SAD
I was able to do my ELDT online.
I was able to do my ELDT online and it was submitted immediately! I went to DMV and was in the system. Couldn't believe how quick it was! Passed my Hazmat endorsement test 1st time out. The information contained in the coursework made it a breeze to pass!
