Did you know that North Dakota introduced its first all-electric school bus in 2019? Despite cold winters, the bus performed well. Pre-heating and battery insulation kept it reliable in freezing weather, showing that green, cost-effective student transport is possible even in harsh climates. If you pursue a career in this field, you might get to drive an electric school bus yourself. But first, you must complete the licensing process and obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Passenger (P) and a School Bus (S) endorsement.

Our North Dakota CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test can help you ace the official written knowledge exam on your first attempt. This intuitive tool is up to date as of December 2025, and you will always practice with the latest version. All 20 multiple-choice questions are based on the official North Dakota Commercial Driver License Manual (North Dakota CDL Handbook 2025), which you should read multiple times during your learning phase.

Since our practice test is not timed, you can finish each training session at your own pace. Please read every question twice and only select an answer when you’re confident of your choice. If you make a mistake, we will point it out as soon as it occurs so you won’t have to wait until the practice test ends to know what went wrong. A detailed explanation of the correct answer provides valuable insight. You should note this feedback in a notebook or notebook app for future reference.
