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

Start here. This free Florida CDL practice test is the flagship general knowledge drill on the site, built to mirror the written exam the Florida DHSMV gives every applicant in 2026. Whether you searched for a DMV CDL practice test, a CDL practice test online, or a CDL permit test in Florida, they all lead to the same exam, because the general knowledge test is the written test for the Commercial Learner's Permit.

How many questions are on the Florida CDL general knowledge test? There are 50, and you need 80 percent - 40 correct answers - to pass. That threshold comes from federal FMCSA rules, so it does not shift by county or office. Getting your CDL permit starts with clearing this test, then adding the endorsements your work requires.

Florida keeps that work varied: container traffic through the Miami and Jacksonville port terminals feeds class A hauling, citrus and agricultural loads move the I-95 and I-4 corridors, and tourism fills charter and transit seats. Use this free CDL practice test alongside the Florida CDL Manual until 40 correct is your floor, not your ceiling.

Keep going:

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