- Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
- Based on 2025 NC commercial driver's license manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for September 2025
To become a school bus driver in North Carolina, you must meet several requirements and complete a structured certification process. Firstly, you must obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with both Passenger Vehicles (P) and School Bus (S) endorsements. Then, you must pass a physical exam and maintain a DOT Medical Card to ensure you meet the medical standards for operating a school bus. In case of an emergency, you must be fit enough to evacuate passengers with mobility issues.
A criminal background check and drug test are also mandatory, as well as completing a classroom and on-the-road training course. This complicated process can discourage even the most prepared students, but we are here to make it easier for you. We’ll help you pass the CDL School Bus knowledge test in North Carolina if you are willing to commit to the learning phase, which is the most important stage of your training.
Aspiring commercial drivers often start by studying the official North Carolina CDL Handbook 2025. It is a complete guide on various aspects of commercial driving and its endorsements, including essential details about safely operating a school bus. While it offers insight into this complex subject, most students find this manual insufficient on its own. Fortunately, there are plenty of online resources tailored to your needs and designed to help you pass the official written exam with confidence.
Our free North Carolina CDL School Bus practice tests closely reflect the official knowledge exam, giving you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with its content and format. Most students will have to wait until the day of the exam to know what it is about, but you’ll have a significant advantage by using these practice tests weeks in advance. Consisting of 20 questions, these tests are continuously updated to reflect the recent changes.
Several features will offer you a better experience. After each question, immediate feedback is provided, giving you a detailed explanation of the correct answer. Additionally, there’s a function that allows you to display the popularity of each answer, giving you an idea about what other students picked.
