First-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants

You must be at least 18 to qualify for a CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) in Kentucky, but you won’t be able to transport passengers, carry hazardous materials, or drive professionally across state borders until you turn 21. All applicants must pay the licensing fees, provide identification documents, and pass a vision screening. If you plan to engage in non-excepted commerce, you must also pass a medical exam.

Scoring 80% or higher on the official General Knowledge Test will grant you a CLP (Commercial Learner’s Permit). You can use this permit to practice driving commercial vehicles under the supervision of a full CDL holder. Before you can take the CDL skills tests, you must complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT). This training must be administered by a provider listed in FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry (TPR).

We’ll help you with the theory part of the licensing process by providing you with an efficient tool. Many Kentucky residents use our practice tests to boost their learning potential and prepare for the official written exam. They completed 3,897 practice sessions this week, and you can increase this number by training with our third Kentucky CDL General Knowledge Practice Test. When used regularly, this tool can make the difference between passing and failing the official General Knowledge Exam.

Our practice tests include several features. You will find them in the test settings menu in the top-right corner of the page. Get insight into the choices of other users by enabling the answer popularity function. It will help you identify difficult questions that often confuse test takers. To reinforce your learning, we provide feedback on each of your answers. Please pay attention to this detailed explanation and note it in a notebook or notebook app before moving on to the next question.

We also offer a Free Kentucky CDL Permit Practice Test to those who wish to evaluate their knowledge before exam day. Use this tool to identify areas that need improvement and build the confidence to ace the official General Knowledge Test on your first attempt. Good luck!
