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 December 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.

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….
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!
