State CDL practice tests

Published Updated Original state sources checked; see each page for later checks:

How do I prepare for my state’s CDL knowledge test?

If your state is listed below, start with its official test counts and rules. If it is not listed, use your state licensing agency’s manual. For a first permit, study general knowledge; add air brakes, combination vehicles or an endorsement set when it fits your planned vehicle. The federal practice sets are study material, not state exam questions.

A state practice page maps our federal topic sets to the knowledge-test rules and manual published by that state. It helps you choose subjects for your intended vehicle; it does not reproduce official exam questions. Use the linked state manual to settle a rule, then use the free CDL practice hub to review mistakes with explanations.

Each page records its own official-source checks and any access limits. Missing or unverified figures stay unknown; we do not borrow another state’s counts. The federal practice sets are study material. They are not the state exam.

Start with general knowledge, then air brakes or combination vehicles when the vehicle needs them. Hazmat practice is a separate federal set.
