Free HI CDL School Bus Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
  • Based on 2025 HI commercial driver's license manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for August 2025

To become a school bus driver in Hawaii, you must meet several requirements related to licensing, training, health, and background. First, you must be at least 21 and hold a valid Hawaii driver’s license to qualify. The licensing process involves obtaining a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with both the Passenger (P) and School Bus (S) endorsements. You must pass the general knowledge exam, the passenger endorsement knowledge test, and the school bus endorsement written knowledge test.

Before taking the skills test, all applicants must complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from an FMCSA-approved provider. A Department of Transportation (DOT) medical exam and a criminal background check are also required. Driving a school bus involves great responsibility, which is why the school districts hire professional drivers. We’ll help you become one yourself, but you must learn and master commercial driving theory first.

Our Hawaii CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test has 20 multiple-choice questions based on the official Hawaii Commercial Driver License Manual (Hawaii CDL Handbook 2025). You must score 80% or higher to pass, leaving little room for error. However, we recommend ignoring your score during your first few attempts when you are more likely to make mistakes. Instead, you should identify areas that need improvement and use the detailed explanations provided for each question to understand the reasoning behind the correct answer.

The test settings menu lets you customize your testing experience. Access it by clicking the three dots in the top-right corner of the page. You will find several features in this menu, including the answer popularity feature. Once activated, a percentage will be displayed for each answer choice, giving you insight into the choices made by other students. Pay attention to the questions where misconceptions are common and note their explanations in a notebook or notebook app for future reference.

Your dream career is within reach, but you should avoid rushing during your learning phase. Commercial driving theory cannot be learned overnight, as this complex subject requires long hours of study. Our Hawaii CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test can significantly boost your learning potential. Use it daily and watch your knowledge and confidence improve over time.
