What's the Passing Score on North Dakota's CDL General Knowledge Test?

49 CFR Part 383 sets the CDL general knowledge test at 50 questions and 80% nationwide, and North Dakota administers that standard through its Department of Transportation for just $5 per attempt.

A CLP costs $15 for a resident and $20 for a non-domiciled applicant once you pass, with each additional endorsement adding $3.

Passing earns you a commercial learner's permit, though a first-time Class A or Class B applicant still needs entry-level driver training (ELDT) through an authorized provider before the CDL itself is issued.

The skills test — a pre-trip inspection and an on-road evaluation — costs another $5 per attempt on top of the knowledge test fee.

A specific air brake PSI figure or hours-of-service cap either matches the manual exactly or it doesn't — there's no partial credit for landing close to the right number.

The cargo securement recheck sequence trips up plenty of otherwise well-prepared test takers, since the mile and time thresholds are easy to swap under pressure.

Treat every practice question as a chance to read the reasoning behind it, not just confirm the letter you picked.
