NJ CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2026

5 min

Passing the CDL General Knowledge (permit) test is one of the requirements for obtaining a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in New Jersey. Aspiring commercial drivers will have their knowledge evaluated at a MVC office, where they must answer 50 multiple-choice questions on pre-trip inspections, safe driving practices, emergency procedures, and traffic laws. All questions are based on the official MVC commercial driver license manual (New Jersey CDL Handbook 2026), which is a valuable resource covering the various aspects of commercial driving theory. We recommend reading its contents at least once, but you can adopt a smarter approach if you don’t like traditional study methods.

Our New Jersey CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator can be a game changer for students struggling with test anxiety. You can use this tool to familiarize yourself with the content and format of the official CDL General Knowledge test so you’ll know what to expect on exam day. Unlike our CDL permit practice tests, which include plenty of helpful features, you will not receive any assistance in this simulator. Once you start a session, you’re on your own, just as you will be at the MVC office. If you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately. Since you get unlimited attempts, you should continue practicing until your score naturally increases. However, we recommend checking your Challenge Bank™ occasionally, as it includes detailed explanations for all the questions you got wrong.

About the New Jersey CDL

The “Restart test” button on the top-right corner of the page can be used to wipe your current progress and begin a new session. The order of the questions will be randomized to provide a fair testing experience. The purpose of our simulator is to test your understanding of the material, not your ability to recall correct answers in a specific order. Becoming a safe and responsible commercial driver takes time and effort. As you begin your learning phase, please avoid rushing. Our New Jersey CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator is not timed, allowing you to learn at your own pace. After several weeks of practice, you’ll build the knowledge and confidence to pass the official exam on your first attempt.

We know what it takes to pass. And we’ve got the proof.

Driver’s Ed is - nobody wants to set foot inside the MVC. That’s why millions of learners trust us for simple, visual, effective prep.
