Free CA CDL Passenger Vehicles Practice Test 2025

Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
Based on 2025 CA commercial driver's license manual
Triple-checked for accuracy
Updated for March 2025

Are you a California resident considering a career as a bus driver or the driver of a 9-passenger van? California expects to increase its number of commercial drivers by as much as 20 percent by 2030. This market growth promises exceptional job opportunities for licensed Class A, B, or C California CDL drivers, which is great news! How can you cash in on these opportunities? Preparation.

A ‘P’ endorsement is required on a California CDL for drivers to operate a vehicle that can carry more than 10 people, including the driver. Applicants must pass both a written and a road skills test in a passenger-carrying vehicle to obtain this endorsement on their CDL. The written test is divided into four sections: Driving Safely, Transporting Passengers, Vehicle Inspection, and Basic Control Skills. Successful applicants need to answer 16 of the 20 questions correctly to receive a passing score.

Using this free California CDL Passenger Vehicle Endorsement practice test based on the 2024 CDL Manual (California CDL Handbook 2025), you will be equipped with a better resource than a study guide. It is designed to expertly prepare you with successful test-taking skills. The test is presented in a multiple-choice format and contains questions just like those on the actual test and is up to date as of March 2025. It is stress-free because it allows you to learn at your own pace. Additionally, it gives you immediate feedback on your answer to each question. Wrong answers are highlighted with detailed explanations.

Pro Tip: There are multiple resources available to you while taking the practice test. You will find on-line resources, handbooks, and our CDL Passenger guide. Although it is not allowed to be used during the written exam, you can use it to look for correct answers and make a link between the information and the question asked.

Additionally, you may refer to our targeted endorsement practice test collection which includes multiple tests for all 50 U.S. states and Washington D.C.

Our commitment to accuracy and quality in our practice tests

Explore our rigorous, multi-tiered verification process that ensures each question mirrors the official manual for unparalleled accuracy.

Written by Andrei Zakhareuski Updated over a week ago

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.

Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.

Content Creation and Verification Process

Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.

Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
