North Carolina CDL Class A Practice Test 2025

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

North Carolina’s geography and economy create a constant need for reliable transportation, making commercial driving a strong career choice. With economic hubs like Charlotte and Raleigh, there’s a steady flow of goods moving across the region. If you enjoy being on the road and working independently, this career might be the best choice for you. However, becoming a safe and responsible commercial driver takes time and effort; only determined students finish the licensing process. We’ll help you ace the official general knowledge test by providing you with an intuitive tool.

Our North Carolina CDL Class A Practice Test has been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official written knowledge exam. It consists of 93 multiple-choice questions on various aspects of commercial driving theory. These questions are based on the official North Carolina Commercial Driver License Manual (North Carolina CDL Handbook 2025), which you should read multiple times during your learning phase. Our practice test is not timed, so please finish each session at your own pace.

The questions you get wrong will be automatically added to your personal Challenge Bank™. This section includes detailed explanations and helpful insights that turn your mistakes into learning opportunities. Visit this section between your practice sessions to identify areas that need improvement and reinforce your knowledge. Questions in your Challenge Bank will remain there until you answer them correctly.

You can find the test settings menu in the top-right corner of the page. This menu includes several features you can use to customize your testing experience, including the voice-over function. Once activated, an artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud. This feature is especially useful for students with auditory memory, as they retain information more easily when heard.

Your dream career is within reach. Take the first step today and begin your learning phase with a boost from our practice tests. Use them to master commercial driving theory and ace the official written knowledge test on your first attempt.

Ordered the 7day program for the ELDT Passenger Endorsement.
I ordered the 7day program for the ELDT Passenger Endorsement and thoroughly was amazed at the training methods and concluded the training in one day. In addition, in ensuring I was set up and everything was in proper order, Andrei Zakhareuski's assistance was prompt, professional and rendered with a spirit of patience and genuine concern to ensure I got what I need.

Layout of the program was amazing.
The little words of encouragement during tests was great. I was able to take the DMV test sooner then expected and only got 1 question wrong which was my fault. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone.

Don't go it alone. Practice, practice, practice..
I relied on this product to help me quickly study and pass the NC CDL Learner's Permit test. It succeeded as did I. I would definitely recommend this product.

Failed CDL permit test twice, this program helped me pass the third time.
I had failed the General Knowledge test for my CDL permit, twice. I decided to get the Driving Test program to better my chances. I studied hard for a week before the test. I passed with flying colors! I was thrilled. I couldn't believe how easy it was. I knew most of the answers without even thinking. I was so proud of myself. This program works. I it really does! Most of the questions that were on the permit test were the same questions on the program. You seriously will not fail the exam if you get this program. Plus you get your money back if you fail anyway, so it was a no brainer for me. I didn't want to take the chance of failing one more time, I wanted to make sure I did everything I could to pass. I highly, highly recommend this the first time!
