HI CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025
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 October 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.
