Are you eager to start your dream career? As an aspiring commercial driver in Rhode Island, you’ll find plenty of opportunities once you get your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Before you can hit the open road as a commercial driver, you must complete the licensing process. The official Rhode Island CDL General Knowledge (permit) test is one of the requirements for obtaining your CDL. It consists of 50 multiple-choice questions based on the official Rhode Island commercial driver license manual (Rhode Island CDL Handbook 2025). You must score 80% or higher to pass, which leaves little room for error.

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.

About the Rhode Island CDL

Whether you intend to drive heavy trucks or school buses, commercial driving involves high responsibility. That’s why you must prepare in advance and build your knowledge gradually. If you start today, you may be ready to take the official exam within a few weeks. We recommend adopting a smarter approach during this time by using the most efficient tools available online. Our Rhode Island CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator can make the difference between passing and failing the official exam on your first attempt. Take as long as you need to answer all 50 questions. We have omitted any timer from this simulator, so please avoid rushing. To simulate the official testing experience, you will not receive any assistance during your training sessions. If you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately and you’ll have to start over.

Unlike other simulators that reveal your score at the end, ours updates in real time. Keep an eye on the general overview, which displays the test progress. See how many questions you’ve gotten right and how many more mistakes you can afford before the test ends. Students who are not skilled with computers can control our simulator easily thanks to the user-friendly interface. You get unlimited attempts and nonstop access to training as often as you want. Remember, your knowledge naturally improves with repetition, so we recommend optimizing your study sessions and mastering the various aspects of commercial driving theory with the help of our tools.

We know what it takes to pass. And we’ve got the proof.

Driver’s Ed is - nobody wants to set foot inside the DMV. That’s why millions of learners trust us for simple, visual, effective prep.
