DE CDL School Bus Practice Test 2 2026

Delaware places extraordinary trust in its school bus drivers. As such, the CDL Delaware DMV School Bus “S” Endorsement Knowledge Test is a required step for them before transporting students anywhere in the First State. Also required is the Passenger “P” endorsement. Though this article deals primarily with the School Bus knowledge test, you can find more information about the P endorsement below. The state also requires all school bus drivers to complete a criminal background check and meet Delaware Department of Education medical and training requirements before obtaining the “P” and “S” endorsements. Also, until the driver is fully licensed, Delaware places a restriction on the driver’s Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) that prevents carrying passengers in any CMV bus. New drivers may only operate an empty school bus during training sessions (except when under the tutelage of certified instructors).

The official School Bus Knowledge Test emphasizes student safety and includes significant testing on loading and unloading. The space surrounding the bus is where most student injuries occur and must be continuously monitored through mirror use as well as bus positioning at stops. Drivers must have a clear understanding of the procedures for controlled stops, proper securing of the bus at each stop, safe observation of children as they move to and from the vehicle, the use of mirrors, and the prevention of students from entering blind spots. Also, drivers must be aware that students’ clothing and bookbags can easily get caught on handrails when entering or exiting the bus. Drivers are also tested on railroad crossing procedures, handling of emergencies, evacuation decisions, student management, and end-of-route responsibilities (including post-trip inspections and bus walkthroughs).
