Pennsylvania CDL General Knowledge Test 7 2025

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

This General Knowledge practice exam contains another 50 questions based on the official CDL manual and updated for December 2025. These questions are designed to prepare you for the General Knowledge portion of your Pennsylvania Commercial Driver’s License exam. As with our other tests, all questions are multiple-choice, with three possible answers for each question. Only one of the answers is correct. Every time you answer a question, you’ll get immediate feedback with a detailed explanation, so you won’t need to wait until the end of the test to know the correct answers. The practice tests are not timed, so you can take as long as you need to answer each practice question. We recommend that you always check each question’s explanation to gain further insight into the rule being tested. Each question on this CDL practice test also offers a hint, so if you’re stuck on a question, you can use this tip to help you figure out the correct answer. Good luck!

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.
