School buses are the safest mode of transportation for getting children to and from school. Designed with stringent safety standards in mind, they feature closely spaced padded seats that form a protective barrier around students. This design minimizes injury in the event of an accident, which is an important consideration in a state that sees 400,000 road accidents annually.

In Florida, school bus drivers receive extensive training in defensive driving, child safety, and emergency procedures. Such a significant responsibility is not given lightly. This is why the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) requires aspiring commercial drivers to fully master these topics.

All school bus drivers must legally hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a School Bus (S) endorsement before they can get behind the wheel of a yellow bus. It allows you to drive Type A school buses, which are typically designed to seat 10 to 14 occupants, including the driver. In larger cities like Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Types B, C and D school buses are more common. Since these buses seat more than 16 occupants, their drivers are also required by law to hold a Passenger Vehicles (P) endorsement.

The FLHSMV offers a guide for everyone preparing to take the CDL exams required to operate school buses. The official 2025 CDL manual (https://driving-tests.org/florida/fl-cdl-handbook/) introduces you to the basics of these endorsements. However, most students don’t find it enough to pass the written exam on their first attempt. We’ll make it easy for you to pass your CDL School Bus test in Florida, but you’ll have to prepare in advance and fully commit to the learning process.

They say only practice makes perfect, and this is especially true for commercial driving. To help you familiarize yourself with the content and format of the official written exam, we created a practice environment. Our users have noted how closely it reflected what they encountered at the FLHSMV service center.

Use our free Florida CDL school bus practice tests to evaluate your knowledge and try to achieve a passing score at least twice a day. Our automated assistant will be present during these sessions, helping you with comprehensive explanations, hints, and even real-world examples.
