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

Start here. This Arkansas CDL practice test is the flagship general knowledge rehearsal, and it doubles as your Arkansas CDL permit test practice, because the same written exam earns your Commercial Learner's Permit. Whether you searched for a free CDL practice test, a DMV CDL practice test, or a CDL practice test online, this is the Arkansas-specific set to run first.

How many questions are on the Arkansas CDL general knowledge test? There are 50, and you need 80 percent, which is 40 correct, to pass. That federal FMCSA standard is the gateway to your CDL permit in Arkansas, so learning how to get your commercial learner's permit starts with mastering these questions. Trucking is a headline industry here: J.B. Hunt is headquartered in the state, Little Rock anchors major distribution, and freight pours along the I-40 and I-30 corridors.

Take this free CDL practice test for Arkansas again and again until your scores sit comfortably past 80 percent in 2026. Pair it with the Arkansas CDL Manual, drill the sections you keep missing, and only then book your exam with Arkansas Driver Services.

Keep going:

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