Did you know that Texas is the second-largest state in the United States by population? It has seen substantial growth, with a population above 30 million. Urban centers such as Houston, Dallas, and Austin often experience heavy traffic and congestion, presenting challenges for daily commuters and commercial drivers. Becoming a school bus driver in the Lone Star State might be more difficult than you thought, but we’re here to make this process easier for you.

Aspiring school bus drivers must pass a series of exams, including a general knowledge test, which is required to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Then, a School Bus (S) endorsement and a Passenger Vehicles (P) endorsement should be obtained. These credentials are mandatory for driving school buses in Texas. Each of these two endorsements has its own separate knowledge test, and if you haven’t yet done so, you must also pass a skills test on a school bus.

To find more information about these branches of commercial driving, students often consult the official 2024 CDL manual (Texas CDL Handbook 2024). However, those who are willing to master this subject will expand their horizons and seek further assistance from various online resources, including our Texas CDL School Bus practice tests. Designed to closely reflect the official knowledge exam, this practice test consists of 20 questions, which are constantly updated to match the latest changes. After each question, our automated assistant will highlight the correct answer regardless of your choice. Immediate feedback is provided along with a detailed explanation, allowing students to learn more about this subject.

As you practice, a general overview of the entire test will be constantly displayed on your screen. Here, you can check the total number of questions, how many questions you have answered correctly, and how many mistakes you are allowed to make before you fail. Tracking your progress should motivate you, especially after you’ve submitted several correct answers in a row. However, it is recommended to ignore the score while you are still in the learning phase and focus on understanding the meaning behind each question.
