HI CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

Hawaii is a tropical paradise that attracts around 10 million tourists annually. Tourism is a crucial part of the local economy, and as a commercial driver, you have plenty of opportunities to use your skills. Whether you want to drive buses or trucks in the Aloha State, you must obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). The CDL General Knowledge test is the first challenge every aspiring commercial driver encounters. It consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the Hawaii commercial driver license manual (Hawaii CDL Handbook 2025). To pass, you must score at least 80%. However, students who struggle with test anxiety can make avoidable mistakes that could easily be avoided by adopting a different strategy.

Our Hawaii CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator allows you to prepare in advance and build the confidence necessary to pass the official exam on your first attempt. This simulator has been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official exam. There are no hints to help you, and you won’t receive an explanation of the correct answer for a question you get wrong. You must score at least 80% to pass, and if you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately. Since you get unlimited attempts, you can start a new session right away. However, we recommend checking your Challenge Bank first, as it contains the questions you got wrong in your previous practice sessions.

As you begin your learning phase, this intuitive tool can help you study more efficiently. It has recently been updated for December 2025 to include the latest Hawaii-specific regulations. We have opted for a simple and straightforward user interface, so you don’t have to be skilled with computers to train with this simulator. Start today and dedicate the following weeks to mastering the various aspects of commercial driving. As you train more, your knowledge improves through repetition. Our Hawaii CDL general knowledge exam simulator is available 24/7, so you can use it whenever you have an hour to spare.

Was absolutely scared because a lot of the guys that was in.
I was absolutely scared because a lot of the guys that was in my class failed but they also used another CDL program. I appreciate this site. I do wish I can watch the videos now that I did pass because I need refresher once in awhile and also would like the rules always someone I can find it easier. Thank you.

Reading the MVA learners manual seemed….
Reading the MVA learners manual seemed like a torture that would be used in a Turkish prison. It often contradicted itself. Using your program was a major improvement. I set my test date, your program made sure I was finished the day before the test. I liked being able to go back and retake different sections(air brakes, school bus, passenger, general) at any time. I highly recommend this program. Passed my CDL first time. Thanks

Absolutely amazed with this study….
Absolutely amazed with this study program.. I spent 1 day reading the manual and 2 days going through the study program. Walked into the DMV yesterday and passed all my CDL test with confidence. The ladies at the desk said no on has ever completed them so quickly. Every answer was like a muscle reflex. Highly recommend this to anyone for any type of driving test.

From Stressed OUT TO Stress Free.
I had used the samples that were given to help me make a decision on whether I should spend the money for the help of questions for the endorsements I needed. I decided to take the combo and doubles/triples on my own. That was a definite struggle and a lot of nerve racking guessing, but I did pass. When I got home I decided I was not going to do that on the Tanker test which I had left to go. I signed up and it was such a difference. I only studied one day with driving-tests.org and took the tests and passed it quickly and was done! I would definitely suggest taking the stress out and purchase this product, it really does help a lot.

Passed on the first try with no problems.
I won the riding test for Hazmat & Tankers in the first try, the questions was 95% accurate. I'll come back in almost 5 years to get ready for my renewal.
