NV CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator 2025
- Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements
- Based on 2025 NV commercial driver's license manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for April 2025
A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is required to operate large, heavy, or hazardous materials vehicles for commercial purposes. To obtain one in Nevada, you must meet several requirements. The minimum age to apply is 18, allowing you to drive intrastate until you turn 21, when you are allowed to drive across state lines or transport hazardous materials and passengers. After providing the necessary documents and paying the license fees, you must complete several examinations. Start with the DOT medical exam, covering various aspects of your health. Then, you must pass a 50 multiple-choice CDL General Knowledge (permit) test, additional knowledge tests, and at least one skills test for your CDL and endorsements. After holding a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) for at least 14 days and completing Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) from a registered training provider, you can take the CDL skills test, which is the last step in the licensing process.
Our Nevada CDL General Knowledge Exam Simulator makes it easier for you to prepare for the official exam. You get unlimited attempts to simulate the official testing experience on your device. Unlike our other CDL practice tests, this simulator does not provide hints or assistance. If you make too many mistakes, the test ends immediately. Keep track of your progress and pay attention to the general overview. It displays your current performance, including the number of questions you got right and how many more wrong answers you can afford before the test ends.
Use the answer popularity feature to identify questions where misconceptions are more common. Once activated, a percentage will be displayed for each answer choice. A high percentage of incorrect answers suggests a challenging question, requiring you to review the topic more thoroughly. The official DMV commercial driver license manual (Nevada CDL Handbook 2025) contains important information on commercial driving theory, and we recommend reading its contents at least once. By using the most efficient tools available, you increase your chances of passing the official CDL General Knowledge exam on your first attempt. We’ll help you achieve your professional goals and turn your dream career into reality, but you must put in the time and effort necessary to become a safe and responsible commercial driver.
