In Louisiana, all aspiring commercial drivers must pass the official CDL General Knowledge (permit) test and meet several other requirements before they can obtain a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). This exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the official Louisiana commercial driver license manual (Louisiana CDL Handbook 2025). To pass, you must score 80% or higher. As exam day approaches, it is perfectly normal to feel anxious. However, you shouldn’t let such negative emotions discourage you. To maximize your chances of obtaining a passing score on your first attempt, you should develop a study routine and follow it consistently.
Most students no longer use traditional study methods; they prefer modern tools that enable active learning and make learning more efficient. Our Louisiana CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator is designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official exam, allowing students to simulate the official testing experience on their devices. You must answer 50 questions and score at least 80% to pass, but please do so at your own pace. We have omitted any timer from this simulator for your convenience. If you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately. Before you begin another training session, you should visit your personal Challenge Bank. This section includes detailed explanations for all the questions you got wrong during your previous training sessions.
Although a high score is required to pass the official exam, it is still not enough for a successful career. As you begin your learning phase, your primary goal should be to become a safe and responsible driver. Take your time and don’t rush through your study sessions. Use our other CDL practice tests to strengthen your knowledge and master commercial driving theory, as they include several educational features. Keep track of your progress and use our Louisiana CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator to estimate your level of preparedness. Once you consistently achieve scores of 80% or higher, it will indicate you’re ready to go to the OMV office and take the official exam.
