MD CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025

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

The process of becoming a commercial driver in Maryland begins with getting a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), for which you must pass a vision exam, a medical exam, and the 50-question CDL General Knowledge (permit) exam. (There is one exception: You don’t need a medical exam if you will only be engaged in so-called “excepted commerce.”) Additionally, you must pay the necessary fees and provide identification documents when you submit your application.

To turn your dream career into reality, you must understand the various aspects of commercial driving theory. They are described in the official Maryland commercial driver’s license manual (Maryland CDL Handbook 2025), which you should read at least once.

Our Maryland CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator is designed to make studying more effective. It features a user-friendly interface, so you don’t have to be skilled with computers to integrate this intuitive tool into your study routine. All 50 questions have multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. Please note that you will not receive any feedback if you make a mistake. This simulator accurately simulates the official testing experience, where help is not provided. Instead, it will automatically add the questions you get wrong to your personal Challenge Bank™, which you can visit to improve your knowledge and learn from your mistakes. Our tools are available 24/7 and can be accessed on any compatible device. We keep them up to date, so you’ll always practice with the latest version. To implement the latest updates brought by MVA rules or state law and align with Maryland’s CDL requirements, we have recently updated this simulator for April 2025.

While the path to a CDL can be challenging, your perseverance and dedication will provide you with lifelong skills and a rewarding career. Start today and take the first step toward achieving your professional goals. We’ll help you along the way, but you must put in the time and effort necessary to master commercial driving theory. Use our Maryland CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator regularly while focusing on making steady progress. Consistency and patience are crucial during your learning phase, where you build the foundation of a successful career.

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.
