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

Looking for a free Vermont CDL practice test that actually feels like the real Vermont DMV CDL general knowledge exam? This is it. Every question below is built around the same material the Vermont DMV uses to test commercial driver's license applicants, and it works as a CDL practice test online you can retake as many times as you need before scheduling anything in person. Whether you searched for a CDL permit test Vermont drivers rely on or just a general knowledge practice test to gauge where you stand, start here, because this page is the flagship of the whole Vermont CDL practice test series for 2026.

How many questions are on the Vermont CDL general knowledge test? There are 50 questions total, and you need 80 percent, or 40 correct answers, to pass, a federal FMCSA standard that applies whether you are testing in Vermont or any other state. That same exam doubles as the written test for your Commercial Learner's Permit, so a Vermont CDL permit practice test and a general knowledge practice test cover identical ground. Class A, Class B, and Class C applicants all sit for this one shared written exam before their vehicle class ever comes into play, and this practice test reflects that shared structure exactly.

Vermont trucking runs on dairy, and milk tankers moving product off Vermont farms are a daily reality, alongside logging rigs hauling timber and combination vehicles carrying granite and marble out of the state's quarries. Add in the genuine mountain grades on I-89 and I-91, and it is clear why Vermont commercial drivers need more than memorized trivia. Lean on the Vermont CDL Manual as your primary study source, work through this practice test until your score holds steady, then move on to the next general knowledge topic drill below before booking your Vermont DMV skills test.

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