Indiana hosts the famous Indianapolis 500, the largest single-day sporting event in the world. Thirty-three drivers race around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for 200 laps, competing for victory in powerful IndyCars reaching speeds up to 230 mph. Driving on the state’s roads is a bit different from the adrenaline-fueled action on the track, but it requires the same level of concentration. Indiana experiences a full range of weather conditions, from heavy snow in winter to thunderstorms and even tornadoes in the warmer months. While all drivers must navigate these challenges, commercial drivers bear an even greater responsibility.
As an aspiring school bus driver, your first challenge is to pass the official written exam for a School Bus (S) endorsement. Consisting of 20 questions, this exam evaluates your knowledge of this subject. We’ll help you pass this test in Indiana, but the learning process cannot be rushed or skipped.
While hard work is generously rewarded, you’ll need a smarter approach. Gone are the days of spending endless hours just shuffling through guidebooks and manuals, trying to retain crucial information. In this digital age, we offer a handy online tool that allows you to educate yourself and pass the official exam on your first attempt.
Our free Indiana CDL School Bus practice tests are available to anyone who wants to master this subject. Consisting of 20 questions based on the official 2025 CDL manual, these tests closely reflect the official written exam. Use your unlimited attempts to practice on our tests until you consistently achieve a passing score.
There’s no timer, and that means you can take as long as you need to before selecting an answer. Made too many mistakes? It happens to everyone, and it is expected during the early stages of learning. Each test has a restart button that allows you to completely erase your current score and start over from the beginning. However, be advised that the questions will be randomized, so you won’t get the same ones as in the previous session.
Practice as often as you need to, and use these tools to your advantage. Mastering the school bus endorsement test takes time, and you can only improve with consistency. A good idea is to create a routine around these tests, practicing twice or more each day.
