New Hampshire CDL General Knowledge Practice Test 1: what to expect and what trips drivers up

This is the flagship New Hampshire CDL practice test - the best place to start whether you are chasing your first Commercial Learner's Permit or brushing up before exam day. It is a free CDL practice test you can take online again and again, and it mirrors the real DMV CDL practice test question by question, all drawn from the New Hampshire CDL Manual and current for 2026. How many questions are on the New Hampshire CDL general knowledge test? There are 50, and you need 80 percent, or 40 correct, to pass.

This same written exam is your CDL permit test in New Hampshire, since the commercial learner's permit and the general knowledge test are one and the same. Learning how to get your CDL permit starts here with inspection, backing, space and speed, and reading hazards early. New Hampshire's freight world raises the stakes: rigs run the I-93 and I-95 corridors on tight schedules, no-sales-tax retail keeps distribution runs busy, and heating-oil deliveries roll through hard winters.

Take this CDL practice test online until you clear 80 percent without sweating it. Let each miss send you back to the New Hampshire Commercial Driver's Manual for that topic, then book your permit test with confidence.

Keep going:

Every question traces back to the New Hampshire CDL Manual - skim the right-of-way and signs chapters before your retake.
