View All PlansPassing the Combination Vehicles Knowledge Test is one of the key milestones for obtaining your Rhode Island Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). This 20-question multiple-choice exam, given at the DMV, requires you to correctly answer at least 16 questions (a minimum passing score of 80%). With such a small window for error, you’ll want to prepare with the best guides and practice tests you can find. That’s where we come in!
Our Rhode Island CDL Combination Practice Tests mirror the real DMV exam and offer feedback and hints in real-time, versus holding responses until the end of the assessment. This method is proven to speed the learning process and dramatically increase retention. Our practice tests are based on the most recent official Rhode Island CDL Manual, so you can study knowing you have the very latest in preparatory materials. Once you’ve got a handle on this practice test, try another: https://driving-tests.org/rhode-island/ri-cdl-combination-test/.
If you don’t pass on the first try, you’ll need to wait a minimum of five business days before retesting and you may be assessed an additional fee for multiple attempts. That’s another reason to prepare ahead of time with our series of practice tests.
