New Hampshire CDL Class A Practice Test 2025

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

To get a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in New Hampshire, you must meet several requirements and complete the licensing process. The minimum age required to legally operate commercial vehicles is 18, but you must drive within the state until you turn 21. Your first objective in the licensing process is to get a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). This permit is granted after completing a vision test, submitting identification documents, paying the licensing fees, and scoring 80% or higher on the official general knowledge test.

You must also pass the official combination vehicles knowledge exam. While not mandatory, it’s highly recommended to pass the official air brakes knowledge test and a skills test in a vehicle with air brakes. Without completing this step, your CDL will have an L restriction, which prohibits you from operating commercial vehicles equipped with air brakes. All applicants must complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) before they can schedule and take the CDL skills tests. ELDT is a federal requirement mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for all US states and the District of Columbia.

As you begin your learning phase, you should read the official New Hampshire Commercial Driver’s License Manual (New Hampshire CDL Handbook 2025) multiple times. This resource should not be missing from your toolkit, but there are other options that make studying more efficient. Our New Hampshire CDL Class A Practice Test closely reflects the content and format of the official written knowledge test, giving you a clear idea of what to expect on exam day. It consists of 93 multiple-choice questions and includes several features you can use to customize your testing experience.

Beginners unfamiliar with commercial driving theory can use this tool for educational purposes. We recommend ignoring your score on your first few attempts. Instead, you should focus on the detailed explanations to understand the reasoning behind each correct answer. Note this feedback in a notebook or notebook app and review the material to reinforce your knowledge.

Start today and train with our New Hampshire CDL Class A Practice Test for several weeks. Your knowledge can only be improved gradually, so you shouldn’t expect overnight results. Finish each session at your own pace, use the available features to boost your learning potential, and ace the official written knowledge exam on your first attempt.

I was turned away from the NH DMV because I needed ELDT training.
I was turned away from the NH DMV for a CDL C with Hazmat Endorsement because I needed ELDT training. I was super annoyed that I had to do this. Upon starting the courses, I learned it was a bunch more studying of the CDL Manual. I only studied what I thought was applicable to CDL C on my own. This prepared me way more than expected and thanks to driving-tests.org I learned a LOT and passed my CDL C and Hazmat Exams first try! I sent my brother a link and he signed up on this site as well. Anyone looking to be fully prepared to take a CDL exam or endorsement exams, I Highly recommend this site.

Easily passed the CDL Class A knowledge test.
I easily passed the CDL Class A knowledge test! The training material was incredibly helpful and the practice test questions were nearly identical to the actual exam. There is no reason to look anywhere else for training for your CDL knowledge tests!

The process was very easy to get started. It was step by step all the way through. I passed hazmat and tanker first try within just 2 days of using the software.

This program gave me all the tool….
This program gave me all the tool necessary to pass my hazmat and tankers endorsement tests. I was able to study and take the practice tests over and over right up to the morning of my tests and I passed on the very first try. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to obtain any kind of CMV license or endorsements. Thanks again to Driving-Tests
Q
Thanks!
Most of the questions here are on the actual test, however the real exam has trickier questions in which multiple answers shown would be correct. Instead of being able to select all of the above they are looking for 1 specific answer. This should be reflected for realism on some of the questions and tests presented here. Also I encountered a question about turns with turn lane 1 and 2 presented at an intersection, or turning from a 4 lane Hwy to a 2 lane divided hywy. I passed all of the tests i.e. general knowlege at 40 out of 50 (due to trickier questions), air brakes 100% and combination vehicles 100%. The air brakes exam and the combination vehicles exam was just as presented in the testing practice package. Passing the tests and obtaining my cdl learners permit in a short amount of time should show the true power of this method of learning.

Really great explanation!
Great service! I bought 7 days for ELDT CDL A theory, just for learning and certification of ELDT. There is a video course with good pictures and voice in same time. And you can download the PDF for own it. After theory you must have finished testing marathon about 700 questions with 100% right. This marathon organized so cool. You don't need remember any wrong answers because they are saving for answering again later. After marathon you mast do exam. I did with 92% right. Awesome. But I did mistake about my schedule for study and I had to pay again for 7 days to save my progress and finish studying. You have to be accurate with it and will plan your study smarter than me. There is about 12 hrs of video and after that marathon with 700 questions. It may be necessary 5-7 full days of study. Or you can pay in advance for 30 days study. It's cost no to much. After exams they automatically send you certificate and data to TPR (DMV also) and you can check immediately. Thanks for a great service! I will recommend you!
