Free VA CDL Passenger Vehicles Endorsement Practice Test 2024

If you’re in Virginia, enjoy this free CDL passenger endorsement practice test!

Covering over 57,000 miles of roads, Virginia has the third-largest state-maintained highway system in the United States. There’s much to see in the Old Dominion, including the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, a popular route for travelers discovering the state’s natural beauty and historical landmarks. While most people use personal or rented vehicles, others still rely on tour buses or transit buses to get around. Megabus and Greyhound, the two of the largest intercity bus services operating across Virginia, offer an affordable option for those who want to explore its landscapes.

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is responsible for granting the Passenger Vehicles (P) endorsement on your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). This endorsement is required for anyone who wants to drive a vehicle carrying 16 or more occupants, including the driver. To obtain it, you must pass a Passenger knowledge test and a CDL skills test, which evaluates your understanding of this endorsement as well as your ability to safely operate a bus of your preferred class (A, B or C).

Like all aspiring commercial drivers, you’ll begin by studying the official 2024 CDL manual. This manual provides enough information to help you pass the Passenger knowledge exam, but there are various online tools that can maximize your chances of success.

Our CDL Passenger endorsement practice tests are designed after the official exam, closely reflecting its structure and content. Each test consists of 20 questions on transporting passengers, and you must score at least 80% to pass. There’s no countdown to pressure you, so there’s no need to rush. Read each question carefully and ensure you fully understand the given scenario before you select an answer.

Unlike some tests that reveal the score only at the end, our tests display your score as you progress, updating in real time. An instant feedback feature provides detailed explanations after each question, allowing you to identify mistakes and understand the correct answer. Once you consistently achieve passing scores on our practice tests, you can confidently take the actual written exam, reassured that it will closely resemble what you’ve practiced on.

Pro Tip: From beachcombers to technicians, Virginia commercial Passenger Vehicle drivers provide an essential service for people needing to explore its terrain. On-line resources, handbooks, and our CDL Passenger guide are available to help drivers excel.

Please check out our targeted practice test collection for information on nationwide driving opportunities.
