GA CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

5 min

From navigating the traffic of Atlanta to cruising along Georgia’s expansive highways, commercial drivers experience a wide range of road conditions that sharpen their skills. Your driving skills only improve with behind-the-wheel practice. Knowing how to handle various situations and overcome challenges on the road is crucial, especially when you’re tasked with such a demanding job. Whether you intend to drive a tanker or transport passengers in a double-decker bus, you must master the various aspects of commercial driving theory. The Department of Driver Services (DDS) publishes the official Georgia commercial driver’s study guide (Georgia CDL Handbook 2025). This valuable resource explains pre-trip inspections, safe driving practices, air brakes, and transporting cargo and passengers safely. Although you should read its contents at least once, other tools are more effective in helping you pass the official CDL General Knowledge (permit) test on your first attempt.

Our Georgia CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator is designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official exam. Each of the 50 multiple-choice questions has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. Please take your time and only select an answer when you’re confident of your choice. We have omitted any timer from this tool for your convenience, so you should avoid rushing. If you want to start fresh, the “Restart” button lets you begin a new session. Since you have unlimited attempts, you can use this button freely. Whether studying on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, the user-friendly interface ensures a smooth experience even for those who are not skilled with computers.

When there’s a will, there’s a way.
Now I can provide my family with the essential.

I've held a commercial license for about 11 years now, and.
I've held a commercial license for about 11 years now, and needed the hazmat endorsement to, you know, enhance my marketability. Some companies require it, and it will kind of increase opportunities for me. Started studying about two days, and I went through everything, all of the tests that they required on there to pass. And it was very easy.
S
Get it done easy and fast.
Easy registration, easy access to get start up and running through the topic. The positive and encouraging comments from the police instructor man, after finishing tests; motivated me to not stop working hard. The way everything is organized makes the training seamless and easy.
E
Needed a CDL for Dsny.
Worked wonders, finished all the tests for GA and the endorsements I needed (Air brakes, Tanker) did challenge banks, looked over “cheat sheets” quickly, passed. Never believed in things like this but it worked. Helped a lot. Thank you.
KT
I used this to take 3 of my CDL Endorsement tests.
I used this to take the HazmatPassenger and Bus tests at the GA DMV and I passed the first time on each. The questions were the same as on the site. It prepared me very well.
