Pennsylvania CDL Class A Practice Test 2025

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

Welcome to our Pennsylvania CDL Class A Practice Test! This intuitive tool helps you learn the various aspects of commercial driving theory, but you can also use it to evaluate your knowledge and prepare for the official General Knowledge exam. All 93 questions have multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. They are based on the official Pennsylvania Commercial Driver’s Manual (Pennsylvania CDL Handbook 2025). We have omitted any timer from this practice test, so you can finish each session at your own pace. Please avoid rushing and read every question twice before you choose an answer.

The test settings menu includes several features you can use to customize your testing experience. You can find this menu in the top-right corner of the page. Students with auditory memory can benefit from using the voice-over function. Once activated, an artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud. Use this feature to increase your focus when you’re studying in busy environments where distractions are common.

As a beginner, it is perfectly normal to make mistakes. We recommend disregarding your score during your first few attempts. Instead, you should focus on learning from your mistakes with the help of detailed explanations. We provide immediate feedback for each question, helping you understand the reasoning behind its correct answer. For future reference, you should note this feedback in a notebook or notebook app.

“Officer Frank” is an automated assistant that can make studying more enjoyable. This AI coach will be present during your training sessions, ready to provide assistance whenever you need it. If you get stuck on a difficult question, “Officer Frank” can give you hints that nudge you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. Additionally, you can request real-life examples and further explanations that make complex topics easier to understand.

Start earning a Class A CDL today and begin your learning phase by studying the official commercial driver’s manual. This resource will teach you the basics, and our Pennsylvania CDL Class A Practice Test will reinforce your knowledge and prepare you for the official written knowledge test.

Follow the plan!
As long as you follow the plan that you are given, you will pass. I passed my Hazmat & Tanker endorsement on the same day.

Makes it too easy to pass.
Easy to sign up for and access the Information and practice tests. All the questions on the practice tests were on the PA Hazmat\Tanker tests, passed first time with 0 wrong.

Absolutely 💯%.
Absolutely 💯% you spend. I crammed for less than 24 hours and passed my PA CDL general knowledge as well as endorsements for Hazmat, Combination, Doubles/Triples, and Tank IN ONE TRY! The practice exams were tremendously thorough and matched nearly all the questions that I encountered on the actual exams. Don’t waste anymore time or money at the DMV then you absolutely must! Sign up for Driving-Tests and pass the first time!

Honest expierence.
My honest experience with this website has been awesome! I have the cdl book from the dmv here in pa but never really opened it, every time I did I just got really bored, it wasnt working. I'm a hands on type of guy so I always get nervous for written exams. But when I aced all of these tests, I decided to go to the dmv and give it a shot. I went for class a with airbrakes. I was really surprised at how close the questions on my actual test were similar to the ones on this site. If it wasnt for the little money I played for this site, I don't think i would've got my cdl. These guys are great and I'll recommend them to anyone who is attempting their cdl. Thank you so much for helping me advance my career, your help made this process a breeze.
