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

49 CFR Part 383 sets the CDL general knowledge test at 50 questions and 80% nationwide, with Utah's Driver License Division administering that standard rather than writing its own.

Utah's $52 CLP fee already covers all three required written tests, so a first attempt at each one costs nothing extra beyond that single fee.

Two attempts at each test come with the base $52 fee. Only a third or later attempt triggers the separate $26 retake charge, so budgeting for exactly two tries per test is the realistic target.

Once you're through the knowledge tests, the $78 skills-test fee bundles in CDL issuance itself, so passing that step is the last fee you'll owe.

Air brake PSI thresholds and hours-of-service caps are memorization, not intuition — get the exact number wrong and the question is wrong, no partial credit for being close.

Cargo securement's 50-mile-then-150-mile recheck sequence is a common one to reverse under pressure.

A missed practice question is only useful if you read the full explanation — the correct letter alone teaches nothing.
