If you’re interested in becoming a school bus driver in Minnesota, you’ll need a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with the School Bus (S) and Passenger Vehicles (P) endorsements. These endorsements are granted after passing their respective knowledge tests, a general knowledge test on commercial driving and a skills test in a school bus if you didn’t already do so for your CDL. Additionally, you must pass a medical exam, a drug test, a criminal background check, and a driver’s license record check. To help you prepare for the CDL School Bus knowledge test in Minnesota, we offer several free practice tests that closely reflect the official knowledge exam. These practice tests consist of 20 questions based on the official Minnesota CDL Handbook 2025.

With no time limit and unlimited attempts, students benefit from a valuable educational tool. Our practice tests have several features that help create a suitable learning environment for mastering this subject. Each question is multiple choice. Regardless of your choice, immediate feedback is provided. This feedback highlights the correct answer and displays a detailed explanation, allowing you to take notes and even ask our helpful assistant additional questions.

About the Minnesota CDL

At all times, a general overview of the total number of questions and your current progress is displayed. Students can evaluate their knowledge in an environment that closely reflects the actual written exam, except for the lack of a timer. Note down your scores and notice the improvement that naturally occurs with more practice. Once you consistently obtain passing scores, it’s a good sign that you’re ready for the official knowledge test.

Driving in Minnesota requires an understanding of how to handle severe weather conditions. Snow and ice are common during the winter months, making roads more dangerous. For school bus drivers, knowing how to handle these conditions is a crucial part of the job. Whether you’re driving through Minneapolis or navigating the rural roads in the northern part of this state, it is essential to be fully prepared for this job to ensure the safety of your passengers.

The School Bus endorsement is not given lightly, but it is well earned by those who are willing to master this subject. Stay committed to your goals and develop a routine revolving around these practice tests. With discipline and repetition, you’ll inevitably become an expert in school buses.
