DC CDL School Bus Test 2025

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

Getting ready for the School Bus portion of your DC DMV CDL skills test can be overwhelming. You know you have to ace it to drive a school bus in District of Columbia, so your entire career depends on it. You have studied the District of Columbia CDL manual over and over again, but you need to put those skills to the test to see if you have what it takes to pass. You can accomplish that with the DC CDL School Bus Practice Test. With questions pulled directly from the most recent District of Columbia CDL manual, this practice test has the same type of questions that you’ll find on the official exam at the DMV.

Gauge Your Knowledge

Begin by using the CDL School Bus Practice Test to gauge what you know. The 20-question multiple-choice quiz gives you the option of skipping questions that you don’t know. Pass all of the questions that you don’t know, making a note of the ones that you skip. This will allow you to assess your starting point. Then, you’ll know how much reviewing you need to do before you go to the DMV to take your test.

After you have your starting point, study once again. Study up, and once you think you have learned some additional information, take the practice test one more time. Skip the questions that you are unsure of again and then get your score. Continue to do this until you are comfortable with all the questions on the test.

How the Test is Scored

Along with providing questions, our District of Columbia CDL School Bus Practice Test is scored the same way as the official test is. You can find out if you would pass the official test when you take the practice test.

It’s time to see how ready you are for the official exam. Find out if you’re ready to go to the DMV and get your endorsement. It all starts with the practice test.
