Rhode Island CDL General Knowledge Test 8 2025

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

This Rhode Island General Knowledge practice test contains another 50 questions based on the official CDL manual. All questions have been updated for December 2025. These questions are designed to prepare you for the General Knowledge portion of your Rhode Island Commercial Driver’s License exam. They are multiple-choice and offer three possible answers for each question. Only one of those three answers is correct, so choose carefully. If you’re not sure about the correct answer, you can use the hint provided for each question. As you work your way through these questions, you’ll begin to notice that the hint will point you to the correct answer without giving away the correct answer itself. This should allow you to make an informed decision about the correct answer, even if you don’t actually know it. 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. Our CDL practice tests are not timed, so you can take as long as you need to answer each question. Good luck!

AWESOME!
That’s all i can say about it. Well, maybe a few more words. This is a must for people who are interested in getting their CPL/CDL. I completed the Knowledge, Air Brakes, Combinations and the Double/Trouble subjects and quizzes just in a few days. I felt confident and went to DMV to take all four tests the next Monday and passed them all on the first attempt. The DMV proctor was surprised. Two days later, I signed up with America Truck Driving School and, hopefully, ready for the pre-trip inspection, skill test and road test. Wish me luck! Oh, don’t forget to study the concept of each subject of this course and good luck to you! Money well spent.

It is everything they promised.
After receiving started the work and in two days tested passing on the first time. Class A CDL, General Knowledge, Combination, Airbrakes, Hazmat, Tanker. Had no previous experience or knowledge in this field. Missed one question. Tested on 7/19, Update: 8/17 completed all required driving skills with my company going on the road with my mentor this week. TIP, if you are entering a company training program you want to come in with your permit. A student tested 4 times in 2 days and failed to pass any of his test and was sent home from the program. I turned him on to this site and received a message that he passed all required test to receive his CDL permit and is now back with the company training. IT WORKS!

Highly Recommend.
After using driving-tests.org, I got my class A CDL with airbrakes on the first attempt. The test at the DMV was so easy, it only took 5 minutes to complete all three tests; general knowledge, combinations, and air brakes.

Excellent resource.
Allowed me to see test questions, make multiple choices answers & hammer me on questions I got wrong. When I took my actual CDL test it was no different than all the practice tests I just took on their platform. Definitely recommend this platform as a primary tool to use in your tool belt. Only draw back was their passing probability indicator. Stated i had barely a 50/50 chance of passing but I smoked the test through & through, in large part because of this resource.
