WI CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

In Wisconsin, your commercial driving career begins with the licensing process, including obtaining a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP). To get a CLP, you must provide identification documents, pass a vision exam, pay the license fees, and score 80% or higher on the 50-question CDL General Knowledge (permit) test. Unless you will only be engaged in so-called “intrastate excepted commerce,” you must also pass a medical exam and have a valid federal medical card. To obtain a CDL, applicants must hold a CLP for at least 14 days, complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered training provider, and pass the CDL skill tests.

To make it easier for you to understand commercial driving theory, the DMV publishes the official Wisconsin commercial driver’s manual (Wisconsin CDL Handbook 2025). This valuable resource describes safe driving practices, traffic laws, air brakes, pre-trip inspections, and passenger safety. As you begin your learning phase, you should use the most efficient tools. We’ll help you become a safe and responsible commercial driver and bring you closer to your professional goals, but you must put in the time and effort necessary to build your skills and knowledge.

Our Wisconsin CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator is an interactive tool designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official exam. It includes a voiceover function, which uses an artificial voice to read the questions and answer choices aloud. Use this feature to enhance your learning potential and eliminate external distractions. We have recently updated this simulator for December 2025 to reflect the latest updates brought by DMV rules or state law. Whether you’re using a laptop or smartphone, you will always practice with the latest version.

You can only master commercial driving theory through repetition and consistent practice. It takes time to build the foundation of your dream career, so you should avoid rushing. Don’t expect overnight results. Instead, we recommend adopting a systematic approach and incorporating our CDL practice tests and this simulator into your daily study routine.

I did not even look at the DMV manual.
I followed the program and retook my incorrect questions. I got 100% on my haz mat test at the DMV. Amazing prep program! I would totally recommend this to anyone!

Got my cdl and tanker endorsement last year and wanted to.
I got my cdl and tanker endorsement last year and wanted to get my hazmat endorsement also but the school I went to charged 500 dollars for a day and a half for hazmat training I looked for other alternatives and found this website 100 dollars for 30 days and it definitely paid off it less than 15 mins if that to pass the test and get my hazmat endorsement I highly recommend this program.
N
I took hazmat and tanker finished both….
I took hazmat and tanker finished both in about 5 minutes with 100% on both. every question on both tests were in the practice test!
CW
Love this testing platform.
I studied for 2 days and passed my cdl test with flying colors! Trustpilot even said I only had a 50% chance of passing my test. The tests helped a lot! I would recommend to anyone going it alone in this process.
MH
Passed on the first try.
I needed to upgrade my class A CDL to include a Tanker/Hazmat endorsement. I looked at a couple of other companies, but this was the most reasonable. The website was user friendly and I passed on my first try! I also was able to ask a couple of questions online and got responses and my questions answered. It was a good overall experience.
