Avoid Failing the CDL Permit Test with These Tips
If you’re exploring the option of getting your CDL, you know that you’ll first need your commercial learner’s permit or CPL. This permit allows you to practice driving on public roadways alongside a licensed CDL instructor.
The thought of passing the CDL permit test so you can begin training can be a nerve-wracking experience for new drivers. Today we are sharing a few tips on how you can prepare for – and pass – your permit test so you can get on the road to earning your CDL!
Know What to Expect
To get your CDL learner’s permit, you’ll need to pass the permit test. This is a three-part, multiple-choice test. The three parts consist of Combination Vehicles (25 questions), Air Brakes (25 questions), and General Knowledge (50 questions). The tests are not timed and can be taken all together, or individually.
Get Prepared
The best way to prepare for your permit test is by attending our free Saturday morning Permit Test Prep class. This class gives you an opportunity to be in a classroom setting with an experienced CDL instructor. We primarily cover the required material for obtaining a Class A CDL learner’s permit. With study materials, videos, and a healthy Q&A session, you will know what to expect ahead of time and you’ll be less nervous about taking the CDL permit test!
