NM CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

The official New Mexico commercial driver license manual (New Mexico CDL Handbook 2025) is a useful resource for everyone who wants to get a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in the Land of Enchantment. You should read its contents at least once to familiarize yourself with the various aspects of commercial driving theory, including emergency procedures, pre-trip inspections, traffic laws, and safe driving practices. In New Mexico, all CDL applicants must pass a 50-question general knowledge exam. While it is impossible to guess the exact questions you’ll receive at the MVD office, you can prepare in advance and train with our New Mexico CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator.

This intuitive tool has been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official CDL permit test, allowing students to simulate the official test experience. You must answer 50 multiple-choice questions and score at least 80% to pass. Please avoid rushing, as our simulator is not timed. Read every question twice and only select an answer when you’re confident in your choice. If you make too many mistakes, the test immediately ends.

The voice-over function is one of the two features available for our New Mexico CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator. Once activated, an artificial choice will read the questions and answers aloud. Use this feature to eliminate distractions and increase your focus anytime you wish to practice in busy environments. Since you get unlimited attempts to practice as often as you want, we recommend developing a daily study routine centered around our simulator.

Do not get discouraged if you make too many mistakes. Although you won’t receive immediate feedback for your wrong choices, the questions you get wrong will be automatically added to your personal Challenge Bank. Visit this section after each session to strengthen your knowledge and learn from your mistakes. With repetition, you’ll memorize the correct answers while also understanding the reasoning behind them. Commercial driving is a complex subject, but you can easily master it with the right tools.

Passed all my tests with no problems.
The employee I worked with at the mvd even commented on how fast I was able to complete the tests.

This is the real deal.
You know how we all are skeptical of online services? Well, this is THE Real DEAL! At MVD they gave me 2 hours for each test. I finished 3 tests in less than 30 minutes. No pressure, no anxiety. All because of God's grace through driving-tests.org! Purely amazing!
M
Started out with Combinations.
Started out with Combinations for class A permit in the state of New Mexico. Took and passed the four mini tests and eventually graduated to 99 question quiz. I ended up memorizing the answers to all 99 questions. I felt prepared not overconfident!
MB
This was great!
This was great, I passed the written tests with 100 percent across the board! I can't speak for the ELDT training because I didn't need it as I've had a CDL before, but the practice tests were great!
MG
I used this platform when I first got….
I used this platform when I first got my cdl 08/2020 and passed every exam on the first try. So when I decided to get my endorsement I used it again and passed both my hazmat & triple/double on my first try 12/2023. The answers and questions are exactly the same on the real test. If you study you'll passed. I only studied for 2 hours and still passed with only missing 1 question on each which was by not reading it all. I've passed my clp and all endorsement hazmat, tanker, and doubles/triples on the first try with the study material provided by driving-tests.org. I highly recommend it to anyone that's getting the first time cdl.
