Free VT CDL School Bus Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
  • Based on 2025 VT commercial driver's license manual
  • Triple-checked for accuracy
  • Updated for July 2025

You must be at least 21 and hold a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record to become a school bus driver in Vermont. This career path requires you to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Passenger (P) and a School Bus (S) endorsement. You must pass a DOT physical exam and written knowledge tests for general commercial driving, passenger transport, and school bus operation. The FMCSA mandates Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for all aspiring school bus drivers.

Next, you must attend a state-approved school bus driver clinic covering student safety, emergency procedures, and pre-trip inspections. The official Vermont Commercial Driver’s Manual (Vermont CDL Handbook 2025) describes commercial driving theory in detail, with individual chapters on the passenger and school bus endorsements. Please read the contents of this manual at least once, and when you’re ready, use our practice tests to evaluate your knowledge.

Our Vermont CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test can significantly boost your learning potential. It is designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official written School Bus knowledge test. All 20 multiple-choice questions have multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. The voice-over function can be toggled from the test settings menu. Once activated, an artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud, making it easier for you to retain information and avoid distractions.

We have opted for a simple and straightforward interface for our practice tests. You don’t need advanced computer skills to access, start, and complete a training session. All you need is a compatible device and a stable internet connection. Your progress will be automatically saved as long as you’re not in private browsing mode. If you interrupt an active practice session, you can resume it later and continue from the last question you answered.

Commercial driving might be difficult to master, but you should take the first step as soon as possible. As you begin your learning phase, our Vermont CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Test will help you study efficiently for your dream career.
