Indiana 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.

Indiana CDL Practice Test Guide: General Knowledge & Endorsements

Indiana calls itself the Crossroads of America, and once you spend a day on I-65 or I-70 you understand why. Freight moves through Indianapolis warehouses and distribution centers around the clock, auto-parts loads run between plants, and the I-69 and I-80/90 corridors stay busy in every season. Earning your commercial license is the first step into that work, and the Indiana CDL practice test above is built to get you ready for the exam that starts it all.

That exam is the CDL general knowledge test. It has 50 questions, and you need 80 percent to pass, which means 40 correct. This is a federal FMCSA standard, so the passing bar is the same in Indianapolis as it is anywhere in the country. It is also the written test for your Commercial Learner’s Permit, so an Indiana CDL permit practice test and a general knowledge practice test are the exact same thing. Whether you plan to drive a big rig, a straight truck, or a smaller commercial vehicle, class A, B, and C applicants all sit for this one written test. Your class gets decided later, by the vehicle you bring and the skills test you take.

Use the free CDL practice tests up top to drill the topics that show up most: pre-trip vehicle inspection, basic vehicle control, shifting through the gears, managing space and speed, spotting hazards early, and handling emergencies like skids, brake failure, and tire blowouts. Reading the Indiana Commercial Driver’s Manual alongside each attempt cements the reasoning behind the answers instead of leaving you to memorize.

Endorsements come as separate knowledge tests, and Indiana’s freight mix makes several worth planning for. Combination Vehicles and Air Brakes matter for the tractor-trailers running those interstate corridors, HazMat opens up chemical and fuel hauling, and Doubles/Triples fits the LTL and parcel operations feeding the state’s warehouses. Tanker, Passenger, and School Bus round out the options if your route heads that direction.

When your practice scores hold steady above passing, you are ready to schedule your CDL skills test with the Indiana BMV. Take one more sample CDL exam to confirm you know the material cold, then go book it and get on the road.
