I have a CDL - adding an endorsement
H HazMat N Tanker P Passenger S School Bus T Doubles/Triples

School Bus (S) requires the Passenger (P) endorsement first. Air Brakes is needed whenever your vehicle has them - skipping it adds a restriction to your license.

Colorado DMV Test FAQ

In most states you can get a CDL at 18 for driving within your state (intrastate). You must be 21 to drive across state lines, carry passengers, or haul hazardous materials. Check your state's CDL manual for exact rules.

Yes. You first pass the knowledge tests to get a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), practice with a CDL holder in the vehicle, and in most states must hold the CLP at least 14 days before taking the skills test.

Everyone takes General Knowledge. Class A adds Combination Vehicles, and Air Brakes if your vehicle has them. Class B adds Air Brakes. Endorsements (HazMat, Tanker, Passenger, School Bus, Doubles/Triples) each add their own test - see the path picker at the top of this page.

Typically 50 questions, and most states require 80% to pass. Endorsement tests are shorter (usually 20-30 questions, same 80% bar). Your state's CDL manual lists the exact numbers.

Yes - a TSA security threat assessment (fingerprints and background check), and the endorsement must be renewed periodically. Start the TSA step early; it can take several weeks.

No. We are exam prep only: our practice tests get you ready for the state knowledge tests. Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for first-time Class A/B applicants must be completed with an FMCSA-registered training provider.

Colorado CDL Practice Test Guide: General Knowledge & Endorsements

If you are reading this, you are close to trading practice questions for a real permit. Start with any test above, and lean into the sections that make you nervous, because those are the ones worth the extra reps before test day.

Here is what you are working toward. The written exam is the CDL General Knowledge test, built from 50 questions with an 80 percent passing bar, which works out to 40 right out of 50. That number comes from the federal FMCSA and does not change from state to state. Clear it and you have earned your Commercial Learner’s Permit, so when you see a Colorado CDL practice test, understand it is testing the same knowledge as any General Knowledge run. Applicants for a Class A, B, or C all take this identical written test. Your class gets decided by your vehicle and your skills exam down the line, not by anything on the written side.

Colorado asks a lot of its drivers, and the study topics reflect it. You will cover vehicle inspection, basic control, shifting, space and speed management, hazard perception, and emergency response. Then the Rockies raise the stakes. Steep grades, runaway-truck ramps, and seasonal chain laws are daily realities on the I-70 and I-25 corridors, so downhill braking, gear selection, and reading the road ahead deserve real attention. Denver anchors a busy regional distribution network, and the oil and gas fields out on the plains keep Tanker and HazMat work steady. Those are separate endorsement knowledge tests, and if that is your lane, plan to study each one on its own alongside Air Brakes and Combination Vehicles.

Keep the Colorado Commercial Driver Handbook open as your primary study guide and let these tests tell you where your understanding is thin. Work a chapter, quiz yourself, and circle back to anything you missed until the answers feel automatic rather than lucky.

Once your General Knowledge results hold steady and your endorsement prep is where it needs to be, schedule your CDL skills test with the Colorado DMV. Walk in prepared, and that mountain-ready license is within reach.
