Getting behind the wheel of a big rig on Kansas’ 141,000 miles of roads? You’ll definitely want to add the Air Brakes qualification to your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Until you pass both the Kansas DMV Air Brakes Test and the Skills Test in an air brake-equipped vehicle, your CDL will bear the “L” restriction, which will make it illegal for you to drive any vehicle equipped with air brakes. As most CMVs are now equipped with air brakes, this restriction will substantially impact your job prospects.
The DMV Air Brakes Knowledge Test includes 25 multiple-choice questions, and you’ll need to answer at least 16 correctly (80%) to pass. If you don’t pass, you must wait one business day before retesting and may be required to pay a retest fee. To avoid these potential delays and added fees, we encourage you to work with our series of Kansas Air Brakes Practice Tests. They are designed to help ensure you pass your official exam on the first attempt.
Based on the Kansas CDL Manual, our CDL Air Brakes Practice Tests mirror the official exam’s structure and topics. Each practice question offers instant feedback to help lock in what you’ve learned and speed the process. Topics covered include air brake safety, inspection procedures, and air pressure systems. Our practice tests also include an interactive CDL handbook, AI-driven feedback, and our revolutionary Challenge Bank, which remembers your missed responses and addresses that material again later in the learning process. These tools enhance retention and reduce preparation time. Once you’ve aced this particular practice test, try another here: https://driving-tests.org/kansas/ks-cdl-air-brake-practice-test/.
