- Based on 2025 MT commercial driver's license manual

Driving a school bus in Montana means navigating long rural routes, mountainous terrain, and unpredictable weather. Roads can be icy during winter, and visibility can drop quickly. When you’re transporting children to and from school, there’s no room for mistakes. That is why school districts employ professional drivers for this job. If you are interested in a career as a school bus driver, you will begin by studying and mastering commercial driving theory.
This subject is thoroughly described in the official Montana Commercial Driver License Manual (Montana CDL Handbook 2025). Please read its contents multiple times to learn more about safe driving practices, school buses, the pre-trip inspections, and the air braking system. Before you can get behind the wheel of a school bus, you must obtain a School Bus (S) endorsement on your Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) or Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). This endorsement is granted after scoring 80% or higher on an official knowledge exam with 20 multiple-choice questions based on the school bus section of the commercial driver license manual.
To help you ace this exam on your first attempt, we offer an intuitive tool that can significantly boost your learning potential. Our Montana CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test has 20 questions covering all aspects of the School Bus (S) endorsement, including safety protocols, loading and unloading procedures, and laws regarding school bus operation.
Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. To reflect the latest changes brought by MVD rules or state law, we have recently updated this practice test for August 2025. However, you should always check the official MT MVD website for the most up-to-date information.
Training with our practice tests gives you an advantage by increasing your chances of passing the official written knowledge test on your first attempt. Make our Montana CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test part of your daily routine to build confidence and knowledge. Through repetition, you will better understand each question and remember the reasoning behind the correct answers.
