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.
