Free NC CDL Passenger Vehicles Practice Test 2025

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

If you live in North Carolina and want to find a career that offers great pay, plentiful opportunities, and job security, you should be thinking about being a commercial Passenger Vehicle driver. While you may not be the first to set your sights on these jobs, don’t miss out on the opportunities waiting for you to expand your horizons. These jobs require specialized skill sets that are needed to support essential services and are crucial to economic health. However, they don’t just fall into your lap. It will be up to you to get the necessary training and plan out your pathway to success.

Commercial Passenger Vehicle drivers must possess a ‘P’ endorsement on their North Carolina Class A, B, or C Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Licenses are issued after applicants pass a written knowledge test and a road skills test operating a 16-occupant vehicle. The test covers the topics of Driving Safely, Transporting Passengers Safely, Vehicle Inspection, and Basic Vehicle Control Skills. For the task at hand, what will your strategy be to earn your license?

While there are a multitude of resources available, such as study guides, our free North Carolina CDL Passenger Endorsement practice test is unmatched in providing you with exceptional preparation. The practice test is based on the 2025 CDL Manual (North Carolina CDL Handbook 2025) and is up to date as of November 2025. You will be provided with questions just like the ones you will have to answer on the official test. Does it get any better?

The major advantage of using our practice test is that it is an interactive study method. To pass the written knowledge test, you need to answer 16 of 20 (80%) questions correctly to pass. As you work through the practice test, you will be alerted to any wrong answers that you provide. Detailed explanations follow that provide instruction on the correct answer. This method is superior to simple memorization because you gain a thorough understanding of the information that you need to know.

Pro-Tip: Cruising down the Blue Ridge Parkway, winding The Outer Banks, or venturing into the Great Smoky Mountains: these are a few ways you could be spending your day as a North Carolina commercial Passenger driver. Using on-line resources, handbooks, and our CDL Passenger guide, you will be on your way.
