NE CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

To obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in Nebraska, you must perform several steps. The licensing process starts with the Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), which is issued after providing the necessary documents, paying the application fees, passing a vision test, and passing the official CDL General Knowledge test. Additionally, you may have to take other knowledge tests for the endorsements you want to add to your CDL. FMCSA requires all aspiring commercial drivers to complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered training provider before taking the CDL skill tests.

The official CDL General Knowledge (permit) test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the official Nebraska commercial driver’s license manual (Nebraska CDL Handbook 2025). To pass, you must score 80% or higher before the timer ends. To familiarize yourself with the content and format of the official exam and increase your chances of passing it on your first attempt, you should use the most efficient tools. Boost your learning potential and train with our other CDL practice tests, which help you understand commercial driving through active learning. Then, to evaluate your knowledge, use our Nebraska CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator. This intuitive tool lets you simulate the official testing experience on your device. You get unlimited attempts to practice as often as you want, so you should avoid rushing. If you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately, and you’ll have to start over.

Your progress updates in real time and is displayed in the test overview. Use it to keep track of your performance and see how many questions you’ve answered correctly. The answer popularity feature shows you which answers are often chosen by other students. Once enabled, it can help you identify difficult questions where misconceptions are more common. Start today and train with our simulator for several weeks before going to the DMV office to take the official exam. With consistency and perseverance, any goal is achievable. Becoming a safe and responsible commercial driver takes time and effort, but we’ll guide you in the right direction and make your learning phase more effective.

Great The test prep is done well and the interface is very.
The test prep is done well and the interface is very nice. Questions were mostly on point to the questions on the actual test. The process of taking the tests is exactly how I like to learn. I would recommend it to anyone!- Gary

Purchased the tanker& hazmat courses.
Purchased the tanker& hazmat courses, by week 3 I felt good about the test, by week 4 I was getting all the questions correct. Every question on the DMV test was in the course material, might have been worded differently but overall same question. Amazing course 100%

If you struggle testing you Need to use this site!
I am someone who Seriously struggles when taking written tests. I had failed 2 written CDL tests prior to finding this and was beginning to lose hope. Reading the CDL manual (beyond mind numbing) and taking free CDL practice exams(didn’t have a lot of Real exam questions and poor interface) just wasn’t cutting it. Pony up, spend the money and pass your dang test. Their practice exams used more real exam and questions and then it helps focus in on the questions you’re struggling with.

I found it to be very people friendly.
Easy to navigate through. I studied for CDL General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Passenger Endorsement. I passed all three tests with at total of 4 wrong answers.

I read the manual and completed all of….
I read the manual and completed all of the study materials. I took the hazmat, tankers, and doubles and triples tests on the same day and only missed a total of 2 question. The study materials are very close to the test questions.

I passed the 4 CDL tests.
I passed the 4 CDL tests, CDL, School Bus, Passenger and Air Brakes the 1st time I took the test! The lady at the Secretary of state asked me how I did, I said better than I expected so she looked at the computer to see my score (I got a total of 6 wrong, you would pass if you got 22 wrong, fail if you got 23 or more wrong) and she said that I was very unusual to get so few wrong! One of the things I liked very much about the Driving-tests program was they repeated Many of the questions again and again so eventually I was getting them right. I would also like to say I knew Nothing about trucks or airbrakes. One last thing - I found the tests I took to get my CDL to be rather easy!: )
