CDL Endorsements Bundle exam requirements & cost

Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.

Eligibility
Must already hold (or be actively applying for) a Class A CDL permit at your state DMV/DPS — these three written sections are additional knowledge tests taken alongside or after the CDL General Knowledge test, not a standalone credential with their own separate eligibility gate
Real exam cost
No separate national fee — each section's testing fee is set by the state DMV/DPS as part of its own CDL permit fee schedule (49 CFR Part 383 sets the content/passing standard, not the price)
Format
Three independent written knowledge tests · Air Brakes 25 questions · Combination Vehicles 20 questions · Tanker 20 questions · 80%+ correct required to pass each section (49 CFR 383.135)

This portal covers three of the written knowledge tests a Class A CDL applicant most commonly needs beyond the base General Knowledge test: Air Brakes, Combination Vehicles, and the Tanker endorsement. All three are administered by the same state DMV/DPS that issues the CDL permit itself, under federal minimum standards set by FMCSA in 49 CFR Part 383 — there's no separate national eligibility requirement beyond already holding (or actively applying for) a Class A CDL permit, and no separate national fee schedule, since each state sets its own permit/testing fee structure. Air Brakes is required for anyone operating a vehicle equipped with air brakes (the large majority of Class A combination vehicles) and is tested with 25 questions; Combination Vehicles, required for anyone pulling a trailer, is tested with 20 questions; the Tanker endorsement, required to haul liquid or gaseous cargo in a tank vehicle, is also tested with 20 questions. Each section is scored independently — a driver who fails one doesn't need to retake a section already passed — and the federal minimum passing standard for every CDL knowledge test is at least 80% correct (49 CFR 383.135). Retake wait periods and any retest fees are set at the state level, not federally, so they vary by DMV/DPS.

Common questions

Air Brakes and Combination Vehicles are effectively required for almost every Class A applicant, since most combination vehicles use air brakes and pulling a trailer is the definition of a combination vehicle. The Tanker endorsement is only required if you plan to haul liquid or gaseous cargo in a tank vehicle — skip it if that's not part of the driving work you're pursuing.
