Florida 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.

Florida CDL Practice Test Guide: General Knowledge & Endorsements

Florida moves freight around the clock, and every commercial driver on those roads started with a written test like the one above. Take a run at it first, then use this guide to plan the rest of your study time.

The exam you are working toward is the CDL general knowledge test. It runs 50 questions, and passing takes 80 percent, or 40 correct answers. That threshold is a federal FMCSA standard, so it holds in every state. This same test is the written exam for the Commercial Learner’s Permit, which means a Florida CDL permit practice test and a general knowledge practice test are the same thing. Whether you are after class A, B, or C, you sit for this identical written test, and your class gets decided later by the vehicle you bring and the skills test you pass.

Aim your prep at the topics that fill the exam: pre-trip vehicle inspection, basic vehicle control, smooth shifting, managing space and speed, spotting hazards early, and handling emergencies like brake failure or a skid. Treat the Florida CDL practice test above as a sample CDL exam and note which topics trip you up, then read those sections in the Florida CDL Handbook to close the gap. A short daily session with the study guide beats one long cram.

Florida’s freight mix points to the endorsements you may want next. The Ports of Miami and Jacksonville keep container and combination hauling steady, so Combination Vehicles and Air Brakes matter for anyone eyeing the big class A rigs. Heavy tourism and transit driving create constant demand for charter and route work, which makes the Passenger and School Bus endorsements worth planning for. Run the I-95 or I-4 corridors with citrus and other agricultural loads, or move fuel, and you will meet Tanker and HazMat work. Each of these endorsements carries its own separate knowledge test.

Once your general knowledge scores settle in and you have chosen the endorsements that fit your route, schedule your CDL skills test with the Florida DHSMV and bring the vehicle that matches the class you want.
