62 Illinois aspiring commercial drivers are expertly preparing themselves for success. Their secret is our Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) General Knowledge practice test series. This second free CDL General Knowledge practice test expedites your learning process by focusing on the information you don’t firmly understand. Much like getting a complete view of Chicago from the Willis Tower Skydeck, the practice test offers a comprehensive training experience to help overcome your learning obstacles and develop a clear understanding of critical information.
Our CDL General Knowledge practice test keeps you focused on your learning objectives and helps you devise an effective study plan to achieve them. Before you can begin driving a commercial vehicle under supervision, you must pass an official knowledge test and obtain a commercial learner’s permit (CLP). You must correctly answer at least 80% of the 30 questions on the official knowledge test to pass. The practice test challenges you to answer questions, similar to the ones on the official knowledge test, to identify your barriers to achieving a passing score. Based on your results, you’ll be able to create an effective study plan that makes the best use of your time and produces outstanding results in learning the road rules and safe driving practices you must know.

This CDL General Knowledge practice test is more time-efficient than other on-line resources because it teaches you the most authoritative information available. The practice test takes its teachings directly from the most recent Illinois DMV CDL manual (Illinois DMV Handbook (IL Driver's Manual) 2026). This week, Illinois residents completed 5,674 practice tests and took their first steps to becoming professional commercial drivers. The practice test’s increasing popularity is a tribute to its ability to correct your misunderstandings. If you submit an incorrect answer, the practice test uses its interactive capability to provide a detailed explanation of the correct one. You will be able to use this information to analyze various driving scenarios that may appear on the official knowledge test and know how to apply it. By increasing your driving skills and boosting your confidence, the practice test has established itself as the superior resource to help you pass the official knowledge test on your first try.
