IN CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

Increased job opportunities, a higher earning potential, and job security are just some of the advantages a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) can bring you. In Indiana, there is a high demand for professional drivers who can help the local economy with their driving skills. Whether you want to drive buses, deliver cargo, or transport hazardous materials across the Hoosier State, you must first obtain a CDL. The general knowledge exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the official Indiana commercial driver license manual (Indiana CDL Handbook 2025). To pass, you must score at least 80% and finish the test before the timer ends. We’ll help you ace this exam on your first attempt, but you must stay consistent in your studies.

Our Indiana CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator has been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official CDL permit test. You get unlimited attempts to train as often as you want. We have omitted any timer from our simulator so you can study at your own pace. If you make too many mistakes, the test will immediately end. To make the examination experience as realistic as possible, these questions have no hints, explanations, or other assistance. Try to refrain from using any other resources while training with our simulator. When the test ends, you can learn from your mistakes by visiting the Challenge Bank, where you’ll receive detailed explanations that will strengthen your knowledge.

Commercial driving is a complex subject, so you should study it for several weeks. It is crucial to avoid rushing through your learning phase. Commercial drivers have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders, and that’s why the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Indiana BMV are so strict with the licensing process. (FMCSA requires all new aspiring commercial drivers to receive Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a provider listed in FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry (TPR)). When you adopt a systematic approach to studying any subject, your learning potential increases significantly. With the help of our simulator, mastering the various aspects of commercial driving has never been easier.
