PA CDL School Bus Test 2025

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

Getting ready for the School Bus portion of the PA DOT CDL skills test can seem overwhelming. You know you have to pass it to drive a school bus in Pennsylvania, so your entire job depends on it. You have studied the Pennsylvania CDL manual from cover to cover again, but you need to put those skills to the test to see if you have got what it takes to pass. You can do just that with the PA CDL School Bus Practice Test. With questions pulled directly from the official Pennsylvania CDL manual, the practice test has the same type of questions that you’ll find on the official test at the DOT.

Gauge Your Knowledge

Start by using the CDL School Bus Practice Test to gauge what you already know. The 20-question multiple-choice quiz gives you the option of skipping questions that you don’t know. Pass all of the questions that you don’t know, making a note of the ones that you skip. This will allow you to assess your starting point. Then, you’ll know how much reviewing you need to do before you go to the DOT to take your test.

After you have your starting point, hit the books once again. Study up, and once you believe you have learned some additional information, take the practice test again. Skip the questions that you are unsure of again and then get your score. Continue to do this until you are comfortable with each question on the test.

How the Test is Scored

Along with providing questions, the Pennsylvania CDL School Bus Practice Test is scored the same way as the official test is. You can find out if you would pass the official test when you take the practice test.

It’s time to see how prepared you are for the official test. Find out if you’re ready to go to the DOT and get your endorsement. It all starts with the practice test.
