Tennessee CDL Class A Practice Test 2025

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

The official Tennessee Commercial Driver License Manual (Tennessee CDL Handbook 2025) describes the various aspects of commercial driving theory in detail. Anyone interested in a Class A CDL should read its contents multiple times, focusing on the air brakes and combination vehicles chapters. The official general knowledge test has 50 questions based on this manual. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. A minimum score of 80% is required to pass, leaving little room for error.

Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) is a federal requirement mandated by FMCSA for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. You must get your ELDT from a provider listed in the Training Provider Registry (TPR) before you can schedule and take the CDL skills tests. Since the Class A CDL lets you drive combination vehicles, you must also pass the official combination vehicles knowledge test as well as the air brakes knowledge test (if you plan to drive trucks equipped with air brakes).

Our Tennessee CDL Class A Practice Test is available online for anyone who wants to study commercial driving theory efficiently. It consists of 94 multiple-choice questions to evaluate your understanding of pre-trip inspections, safe driving practices, and the air braking system. Beginners unfamiliar with commercial driving theory can learn from their mistakes with the help of the detailed explanation provided for each question. This feedback helps you understand the reasoning behind each correct answer. For future reference, we recommend noting this feedback in a notebook or notebook app.

You get unlimited attempts to train as often as you want. If you fail, you can start over right away. However, we recommend checking your personal Challenge Bank™ first. This section includes insight that helps you identify areas where you need improvement. Any questions you get wrong will be saved in your Challenge Bank and remain there until you answer them correctly.

Your dream career as a commercial driver in Tennessee is within reach, but you must put in the time and effort to complete the licensing process. Our Tennessee CDL Class A Practice Test, when used regularly, will help you ace the official general knowledge test on your first attempt.

When I went to do the test, I passed in the first first try.
Started like three weeks before the exam, and let me say, going over and over those questions, studying the manual, it was like a review. So I would recommend this platform to anyone who is planning to do the test. It's such a great resource.

Process was very easy to get started.
It was step by step all the way through. I passed hazmat and tanker first try within just 2 days of using the software.

Dedication Pays Off.
First of all, the company was very honest and helpful with informing me about the program and how it works. The material was so straight forward that the only thing that I had to do was sit down and commit myself and learn everything. I enjoyed how the material was presented to me. It wasn’t just thrown together like some other schools do just to make a buck, this was presented in a step by step tutorial that it made the material easy and fun to learn. But you have to put the time into it, I personally put 3 wholehearted days into it and my scores are proof of all my hard work. Monday 9th I will take my 3 endorsement test at my local DMV, my confident that I will pass is not an issue because of my dedication to this program. The 3 test are as followed: 1) H-Hazmat 2) T-Tankers 3) D-Doubles & Triples Thank You so much. Sincerely, Heidi Grace Sundermier Toone Tennessee

I’m just a regular guy.
I was skeptical about all those driving manual study guides, or the other web based tests. Driving-tests helped me pass my class A CDL permit test and get an endorsement. It is clean and simple to use. Honestly I will use them again when I choose to get another endorsement.

Good experience.
Good experience, general tests involve mixing A and B together but I’d guess that’s true everywhere. (Am learning for exclusively B.) In depth involved useful, I’d recommend. My best wishes to the company hope they continue in business. Also got the school bus and passenger endorsement ELDT. Over 600 questions 11 hours of video for the general CDL training alone. If you don’t know where to start this might be a good place.
