NV CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is required to operate large, heavy, or hazardous materials vehicles for commercial purposes. To obtain one in Nevada, you must meet several requirements. The minimum age to apply is 18, allowing you to drive intrastate until you turn 21, when you are allowed to drive across state lines or transport hazardous materials and passengers. After providing the necessary documents and paying the license fees, you must complete several examinations. Start with the DOT medical exam, covering various aspects of your health. Then, you must pass a 50 multiple-choice CDL General Knowledge (permit) test, additional knowledge tests, and at least one skills test for your CDL and endorsements. After holding a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) for at least 14 days and completing Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered training provider, you can take the CDL skills test, which is the last step in the licensing process.

Our Nevada CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator makes it easier for you to prepare for the official exam. You get unlimited attempts to simulate the official testing experience on your device. Unlike our other CDL practice tests, this simulator does not provide hints or assistance. If you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately. Keep track of your progress and pay attention to the general overview. It displays your current performance, including the number of questions you got right and how many more wrong answers you can afford before the test ends.

Use the answer popularity feature to identify questions where misconceptions are more common. Once activated, a percentage will be displayed for each answer choice. A high percentage of incorrect answers suggests a challenging question, requiring you to review the topic more thoroughly. The official DMV commercial driver license manual (Nevada CDL Handbook 2025) contains important information on commercial driving theory, and we recommend reading its contents at least once. By using the most efficient tools available, you increase your chances of passing the official CDL General Knowledge exam on your first attempt. We’ll help you achieve your professional goals and turn your dream career into reality, but you must put in the time and effort necessary to become a safe and responsible commercial driver.

Program was the best
I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I was able to pass my hazmat without missing a single question i surprised myself this program is great and recommend 100%
DS
Quick and easy prep for the knowledge test at DMV.
Took the class the day before I took the knowledge test at the DMV. Got 100% on the test. Probably spent 3 hours on the "Theory" class and 3 hours on practice tests. Most of the questions at the DMV were on practice tests. The ones that weren't I just skipped because once you get 24 questions right you pass and don't have to answer the ones you skipped.

Your program is set up very well.
I nearly aced the three part CDL test. Thank you so much. Not bad for a seventy year old. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks:-)! PS- Before I started studying for the CDL I knew nothing about big rig trucks or truck mechanics in general. I will be taking a driving course starting next week in Reno Nevada. Thanks Again

I Passed 5 CDL Tests On The First Try!
I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate driving-tests.org. I read the NV CDL handbook and never thought I could pass even the basic tests to get my CDL. Then I started using your service. I practiced until I was confident. I like being able to track my probability of passing. When I hit 100% I took the General, Combination, Air Brakes, Tankers, and Doubles/Triples. I breezed through every one of them. Not bad for a 62-year-old guy!

Quick and Easy Hazmat test preparation.
This ELDT Hazmat Theory training was very quick and simple. It adequately prepayment to take the exam at the DMV. I passed on my first try because I knew the answers from taking all the tests on this site. Would recommend to anyone needing ELDT for CDL endorsements.
JS
5 out of 5.
This site was very helpful. I took all the tests and marathons. Multiple times. I missed very few questions on the exam, and 99% of the questions seem like they came from these tests. If I hadn't of studied here I would have been dreadfully under-prepared. I would recommend this to anyone who's thinking about getting their CDL.
