NY CDL Air Brakes Practice Test 2025
There are plenty of opportunities for commercial drivers in New York, but you won’t be able to drive vehicles equipped with air brakes unless you remove the “No Air Brake Equipped CMV” restriction from your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). To do this, you must pass a written knowledge test consisting of 25 questions on air brakes and a skills test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes.
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issues the official CDL manual (New York CDL Handbook 2025), which contains useful information on various aspects of commercial driving (including air brakes). Although you should read this manual at least once, remember it is only a piece of the puzzle. On its own, it might not be enough to help you pass the air brakes knowledge test on your first attempt. The most determined students always make good use of all the resources available to them. If you want to succeed and receive a boost in your learning phase, we recommend training with our CDL Air Brakes practice tests. Each test consists of 25 questions; to pass, you’ll need to score at least 80%. Once you master each question and consistently obtain passing scores, you’ll be ready to take the official test at the DMV.
This intuitive tool can be accessed from anywhere in the world from any device with an active internet connection and direct access to a browser. Start today and create a routine centered around our CDL Air Brakes practice tests. Consistency is always preferred over intensity, so you should arm yourself with lots of patience. It is completely normal to fail during your first few training sessions. However, since you have unlimited attempts, you should ignore your score in the beginning. Pay attention to the detailed explanation, which appears after you select an answer. This feedback helps you identify mistakes and understand the various aspects of air brakes, their key features, and your responsibilities as a driver.
- Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements

Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
