Updated for March 2025

The first thing you need to know is that in order to get your Michigan Commercial Driver’s License you are going to need to study up. Once you’re at the DOS you’ll have to take a General Knowledge exam and it can be a little tricky. It’s a 50 question multiple-choice exam, but answers are far from obvious and without the official Michigan Commercial Driver’s Manual, you won’t get very far. Get just 10 wrong and you fail and will have to come back to the DOS another day. To avoid that fate you’ll want to take as many practice tests as you can until you are comfortable with the material. We provide CDL General Knowledge practice tests that have questions that are very similar or even identical to the real thing, with hints and tracking to help you pass the first time. But before you take the test you will have to provide some paperwork. The DOS will expect you to have a valid current driver’s license and proof of citizenship or permanent legal residency. For this, a birth certificate, social security card or green card will do. In addition, you have to prove that you are physically capable of driving a commercial vehicle. The DOS requires you have a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (also known as a DOT card) to certify that you are physically qualified for the job. The certificate generally lasts two years and can only be obtained from a licensed medical examiner listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) National Registry. Once you have that and feel you are ready to face the test you can head to the DOS with confidence. What are you waiting for?

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.
