Kentucky CDL Practice Test

The Kentucky CDL written exam is administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). Before you can earn your Commercial Driver's License in Kentucky, you must pass the General Knowledge test plus any endorsement tests for the type of driving you plan to do.

The General Knowledge test in Kentucky contains 50 questions, and you need to score at least 80% to pass. All questions are drawn from the Kentucky CDL Manual, which is the definitive source for your exam.

To get your Kentucky CDL, follow these steps:

1. Pass the DOT physical exam and obtain your Medical Examiner's Certificate.
2. Study the Kentucky CDL Manual thoroughly.
3. Pass the General Knowledge written test at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).
