The CDL Hazmat (H) endorsement knowledge test is the written test for the hazardous materials endorsement on a commercial driver's license. The knowledge standards are set federally by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (49 CFR Part 383) and the test is administered by each state driver licensing agency. The number of questions and any time limit are set by your state; this portal's practice mock has 30 questions, the length commonly described in state CDL guides. Federal rule 49 CFR 383.135 requires you to answer at least 80 percent of the questions correctly on a CDL knowledge test. Knowledge test and endorsement fees are set by each state; the federal security threat assessment required for the H endorsement has its own separate fee. The content outline spreads questions across 4 areas; the largest are Hazardous Materials Regulations (37.0%); Hazardous Materials Handling (33.0%); Operation of Emergency Equipment (15.0%). You need a commercial driver's license or commercial learner's permit, and the H endorsement also requires a federal security threat assessment (background check) before it is issued; confirm the current steps with your state licensing agency. This portal prepares you for the knowledge test; it does not replace your state CDL manual, the security threat assessment or the state application.

Last verified: October 2026·Exam blueprint: Verified on October 4, 2026: the federal knowledge test content areas (hazardous materials table, shipping papers, marking, labeling and placarding; forbidden materials, loading and unloading, segregation; emergency response; equipment use) come from 49 CFR 383.121 (read directly through the eCFR), and the requirement to answer at least 80 percent of questions correctly comes from 49 CFR 383.135 (read directly). The four content weights come from this portal's production record, which cites 383.121 and state CDL manuals. The scope of the H endorsement and its knowledge-test requirement come from 49 CFR 383.93 (read directly). The need for a federal security threat assessment comes from state CDL guides found by search; 383.121 itself does not mention it. The 30-question length is this portal's practice mock and the common state format; each state sets its own length, fees and retake rules.
