District of Columbia CDL Class A Practice Test 2025
10 min
Washington, DC may be small in size, but it provides unique opportunities for commercial drivers. As the nation’s capital, it is a central hub for government agencies, embassies, and nonprofit organizations. Drivers who hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) often find employment delivering sensitive cargo, transporting office supplies to federal buildings, and hauling construction materials. Commercial driving in the District of Columbia involves great responsibility, making it crucial to understand commercial driving theory before starting your career.
This subject is thoroughly described in the District of Columbia Commercial Driver License Manual (District of Columbia CDL Handbook), an official resource published by the DMV. You should read the contents of this manual multiple times during your learning phase. Learn more about safe driving practices, pre-trip inspections, and the CDL and its endorsements. When you’re ready, use our District of Columbia CDL Class A Practice Test to evaluate your knowledge.
Based on the official DC CDL HandbookHandbook‑based (2025) + exam‑taker feedback
This intuitive tool has 93 questions. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. To reflect the latest updates brought by DMV rules or state law, we have recently updated this practice test for December 2025. You will always use the latest version, but we recommend checking the official DC DMV website for the most up-to-date information.
The test settings menu in the top-right corner of the page includes several features you can use to customize your testing experience. The answer popularity function lets you see how other users have responded to a specific question. This feature helps you identify questions where misconceptions are common and encourages you to think about your choices. Unlike the official written knowledge exam, our practice test is not timed. Many students struggle with test anxiety, especially when working under pressure. We have omitted any timer from this practice test to let you study at your own pace.
Your career’s future starts with the commitment you make today. Improve your knowledge gradually and build your confidence in the following weeks. Our District of Columbia CDL Class A Practice Test should not be missing from your toolkit, as it helps you master commercial driving theory through active learning.
