NH CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

Becoming a commercial driver in New Hampshire takes time and effort, but you’ll be rewarded with a fulfilling career. As you begin your learning phase, you should study the various aspects of commercial driving theory described in the official New Hampshire CDL driver’s guide (New Hampshire CDL Handbook 2025). Take as long as you need to master this subject and avoid rushing. Whether you intend to transport heavy cargo or drive school buses, your job involves a lot of responsibility. That is why the DMV is strict about the licensing process and requires all applicants to pass a 50-question CDL permit exam. Additionally, you must get Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered provider, pass a vision exam, provide the necessary documents, pay the application fees, and pass the CDL skills tests after holding a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) for 14 days. Depending on the endorsements you intend to obtain for your CDL, you may also have to pass their respective knowledge tests.

Our New Hampshire CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator consists of 50 multiple-choice questions. It has been recently updated for November 2025 to reflect the latest changes brought by DMV rules or state law. To pass, you must score at least 80%; if you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately. You will not receive any feedback for the questions you get wrong, but they will be automatically added to your Challenge Bank. Please visit this section before starting a new session, as it contains detailed explanations that will help you learn from your mistakes.

For your convenience, we have omitted any timer to let you study at your own pace. Students who are not skilled with computers can easily control our simulator, which features a simple and straightforward interface. Commercial driving is a skill that can only be improved with practice, but you must master its theory first. We make it easier for you to pass the official CDL general knowledge exam, but this shouldn’t be your main goal. Please make sure you understand what it takes to become a safe and responsible commercial driver in New Hampshire before proceeding to the next step in the licensing process.
