This Free Maryland CDL Test Questions & Answers General Knowledge Practice Test No. 11 is built to help you prepare to pass the required Maryland MVA CDL General Knowledge Exam. Regardless of the license class pursued, all aspiring CDL holders must pass this exam. Using a modern learning approach, our practice tests mirror the structure and writing style (which can often be quite tricky) of the official exam.
Too many CDL applicants still rely on printable packets or static PDF guides that do not reflect how the real exam is written or administered. Those materials fail to prepare drivers for the subtle wording, decision making, and judgment required on test day. Official questions aren’t always presented in a format to which pdf guides are conducive. Instead, they often require the test-taker to be completely comfortable with the concepts within the material. Our practice tests replace outdated study methods with an AI-enhanced interactive experience that reinforces learning as you go. Each question includes clear explanations and visual context so you’ll understand not only what the correct answer is, but why it is correct.
Original questions by our teamBased on 2026 MD CDL Handbook
Questions are created and maintained by the Driving-Tests.org content team following our multi-layer editorial process and updated whenever the MarylandMVA changes its handbook or website information. Official sources we check:
The official General Knowledge Exam covers a wide range of material. You are expected to demonstrate understanding of safe vehicle operation, braking systems, hazard recognition, railroad crossings, emergency procedures, and the effects of fatigue, alcohol, and drugs on driving performance. Because the material is extensive, our experts have stripped away unnecessary filler and focused on the concepts that matter most for passing on your first attempt (and avoiding delays and fees associated with retesting). Today, 27 Maryland practice tests were completed, with 2,181 taken this week, giving applicants a considerable competitive edge over those using static pdfs.
Our practice tests present multiple-choice questions written to closely match the phrasing commonly found on the official exam. As you progress, the system tracks your performance in real time, automatically resurfacing missed questions through our Challenge Bank so weak areas are strengthened before exam day.

If you plan to operate vehicles equipped with air brakes, Maryland requires that you also pass the Air Brakes Knowledge Test. Prepare with our practice tests here: https://driving-tests.org/maryland/md-cdl-air-brake-practice-test/g. Many applicants also benefit from reviewing materials designed to help them pass the Pre-Trip Inspection portion of the required skills test. Practice tests for this are available as well: https://driving-tests.org/maryland/md-pre-trip-test/.
