CDL Prep Reviews

by Irritable.

I used CDLPrep to pass everything except passenger and HME (because I haven’t taken them yet). I’m currently studying my hazmat and I noticed a question I got wrong and I didn’t think I was wrong. So I went and read the section of the manual (which I have printed out, highlighted and noted to heck and back) and sure enough CDLPrep was wrong. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if we had a way to report it. And on the other endorsements it’s not as much of a problem. But the hazmat test is difficult enough on its own. We don’t need to be fed wrong answers. Without a way to report these incorrect answers to the dev, CDLPrep is a one star for me.

The question that says: You are unloading students along your route. Where should students walk to after exiting the bus? The correct answer is: ‘Tell Students to exit the bus and walk at least 10 feet away from the bus to a position where the driver can plainly see all students.’ Taken from section 10.2.3 from the VA DMV CDL manual. Your app states that 15 feet is the correct answer and says it’s in 10.2.5 which is incorrect. I would’ve suggested this edit in CDLPrep if I were given the option to do so. Please edit to give the correct answer.

Overall this is a great app to study for any of the class A CDL dL or endorsements, however there are many grammatical mistakes and the answers are NOT the same as the test given by the State DMV. The ads are annoying but hey that’s what keeps it free. Highly recommend CDLPrep to study but keep in mind the actual test will have questions + answers different from these study guides. One last thing is CDLPrep questions will sometimes be blank and there is no way to skip or refresh it. You just have to start all over again and hope the whole study guide works.

There are several questions on the exam that are not on CDLPrep. I would estimate CDLPrep has about 85% of the questions I encountered on the test. I was able to pass GENERAL KNOWLEDGE and AIR BRAKES with the knowledge I gained from CDLPrep but I still had to guess on several questions because they were not on CDLPrep. COMBINATIONS really needs attention, it had more questions that were not on CDLPrep like “how to tell if your trailer is skidding and which combination is more likely to roll over during a curve. I studied CDLPrep religiously and my failing was 100% due to questions not being on the test. I’m not sure if the test differ from state to state but I live in Florida if that helps the developers.

I’m studying for Missouri and some of the questions coming from the California CDL are going against the cdl for Missouri or are miss quoted all together. Ex define GVWR is saying the GVW is the GVWR as in the load is the GVWR not how much it is rated to carry. Or how much should you slow down on snow packed roads the Missouri only talks about slippery roads and says 1/3 while the test quotes California saying at least 1/2 speed. I haven’t checked the California CDL book but maybe they have updated it and the test hasn’t been.

Over all it’s a great way to study but maybe double checking your states CDL book against the questions if you miss it is a good thing because some being quoted for NY and CA may not be the same as your state.

If you’re ONLY looking to get your CLP, this is the best app out there hands down. Now if you’re looking to get your Doubles/Triples and Tankers endorsements, look no further as you’ll easily pass with no problem. Now if you’re looking for Passenger, you’ll get 75% right but you need to reach 80% to get it, which you should look elsewhere. With HazMat, you’ll need to look elsewhere as the questions no longer align with the real exam. I can’t rate School Bus because as of yet have not tried the exam; if somebody else can rate that endorsement, I would greatly appreciate it. I got my CLP on August of 2020 and the endorsements all in the middle of December 2021, Illinois.

CDLPrep is a great studying resource when prepping to take your CDL permit test. Before downloading it I looked at the reviews and one said to study it like it’s your bible! And that’s so true!! I read through the manual before finding CDLPrep, but I think that this allowed me to recall and really understand what I read. It’s awesome how it has a “see why” option when you miss a question. This allows you to look back at your manual and read about it. I took my general knowledge, combination and air brake tests out of Indiana. The GK test is about 90% similar to the questions they have on here. I passed and only missed a few on my first try. For the combination test, it’s about 95% similar to the questions on here. I passed on first try. I still have yet to take the air brakes but I will update after.
Thanks!

I failed on severals previous attempts reading different sources before a friend of mine in Arizona recommended CDLPrep. At first I wasn’t sure but I give it a tried and guess what!? It worked!!!! Passed all my test with 85% or higher. Maybe 3-4 questions might be missing on some sessions but that ain’t anything considering the tremendous amount of clue from other questions and answers. Many thanks to the developer! This is the deal!!!

Hands down CDLPrep was one of the best tools to study for the written test! I decided to get CDLPrep because I talked to a few people and they said that this test was fairly difficult and that it took some 2 times to pass. I strongly recommend reading the book first so to better understand everything you need to know because let’s face it CDLPrep is what it is a means to test your knowledge. After I went through the book and felt comfortable then I took the test. The nice thing too about CDLPrep test questions is that they are verbatim on the state test BUT they wording may be different to trick you so PAY attention and don’t assume you know the answer without reading the full question. Anyways, I passed the test first try and strongly recommend CDLPrep to help you prepare. Good luck!

I don’t normally leave reviews, I’m more of the download it, delete it type.. HOWEVER CDLPrep helped me pass my general knowledge test!!! Went to the DMV (Az) the 1st day and passed the air brakes and combinations but failed the general knowledge portion. A guy recommended CDLPrep and the next day I just took practice test from CDLPrep all day while at work. After work went back to the DMV and passed with flying colors!!! Definitely recommend CDLPrep, if it helped me I’m sure it can help yall!! GOOD LUCK 💯‼️

I have tried a few of these apps however CDL prep was the best out of all of them. I downloaded it and tried it and I passed all of my endorsements with CDLPrep. The questions are the same exact questions that you’ll be getting at the DMV. Try it out and you’ll know what I’m talking about. I would highly recommend CDLPrep to everyone who’s interested in getting their CDL permit. Best of luck to you all and a huge shout out and thank you to the developers of this amazing app!

I used CDLPrep solely for studying and in conjunction with the CDL manual and passed my Class B permit test for General Knowledge and Air Brakes and Passenger and School Bus endorsements. I passed all on the first try. I only looked at the manual as a supplement. CDLPrep has probably 90% of the actual questions and answers. There were a few questions that wasn’t on CDLPrep but they were either common sense or I learnt it supplementally with the manual. Thank you for CDLPrep. My future is looking brighter every day.

by Jjaepa

I only answered three questions wrong when I took the test. On all portions. I had a few people comment at dmv one said under her breath she thinks I cheated. I did not read the book, but I memorized every question. Went through them over and over until I answered all of them right multiple times. I didn’t even know what most of the stuff meant, but I knew I’d learn in school. If I didn’t have this guide, I might never have passed.

I usually hate looking at reviews because most of them are bots. But CDLPrep is the best app I found and they have all the answers. I recommend if you download CDLPrep and study then you will 100% pass the test. I just got mine today. Go through the practice 2 or 3 times then try to test. Read out loud. It sounds stupid but it helps. Take the test over and over again until your in the 96 and above Then keep going.

Thanks cdl prep. I will be recommending CDLPrep to others 👍🏽👍🏽

by Luisp22

CDLPrep helped me pass my general knowledge, air breaks and combinations. For sure when I did my actual test some of The questions weren’t in CDLPrep but the rest they were. I only missed 5 questions overall. I would highly recommend. It worked for me to pass my test here in Las Vegas NV. I am not so Sure about doubles and tipple , tanker and hazmats. I would like to do or correct my review soon once I review the questions and do the rest of my endorsement. But like I said for sure works for general knowledge air breaks and combination in Las Vegas .

by Keymaker5236

I’ll say that 95% of the questions are exactly the same as the DMV real test. I was able to pass all 3 test in less than 25 minutes in NJ and CDLPrep was the only thing I studied. Even the lady doing the test was shocked at how quickly I went thru everything.

I would recommend you to read the free manual DMV gives you too though cause although this will get you to past the writing part quickly, you have to keep in mind that when you go for your road test you will have to demonstrate all that stuff to the road test examiner.

100% I was a little skeptical, because not once did I ever open up the manual to look at it. I’m not one to be good at reading, or retaining what I would read so I was nervous about the written portion of this test. I saw other reviews about CDLPrep and was a little scared that I was going to fail because I had not seen the manual. I’m pleased to say that on my first try, I passed my 4 courses and just got my permit. Praise God that I found CDLPrep. It literally is the reason why I passed. For everyone who is trying to get their CDL. Study this, learn it, inside and out and you will make it!

If you want to pass your CDL permit test you have to go with CDLPrep. I only missed two questions out of just taking combination vehicles, general knowledge, and airbrakes. The first time I took my test I fared terribly bad. But when I took it the second time I had absolutely no issues whatsoever. I literally would use CDLPrep every day for about 4 to 5 weeks. A lot of you tubers who went to trucking school or is currently in trucking school talk about CDLPrep and they always talk about how it’s very accurate information and it’s so true. I had to have my CDL permit to even get into trucking school. The makers of this app did such an amazing job making CDLPrep. Good luck to all the wanna-be truck drivers out there that are trying to earn their CDL! GOD DOWNLOAD THIS NOW.

I have studied and studied the questionnaires on CDLPrep. And I have found out that more than a few questions that I have memorized to be correct come out to be wrong... on the next round of doing the question I choose the answer that I memorized from the last time and it comes out that I’ve chosen wrong again.. To prove this I have screenshot the question along with the right answer. And when I came around again to answer it I chose the right answer and still comes out wrong. Not sure what’s wrong with the software but it needs to be fixed. This will not help me pass my endorsements. Thank you

by Tjcksn

The only thing that I don’t like about CDLPrep is when I’m taking an exam sometimes I accidentally click the back button and it takes me out of the exam and there’s no way to go back onto the exam. That’s so stupid!!!! Why can’t you pick up where you left off at if you still have time on the clock? Or how about taking away the back button and making an exit button somewhere. This has happened to me several time.

by Da1JJ7

At first I had doubts about the accuracy of CDLPrep.. because it was overwhelming, now it is not 100% accurate. However going through the practice test/exams numerous times, I was able to pass General Knowledge, Combinations, Air Brakes, and Tanks on my first try. **Texas resident do know YOU ARE REQUIRED to take the Special Requirements exam before they even let you take your CLP exam.** I wish CDLPrep included special requirements.. but overall very very good app. Thank you very much for creating this.

by Jrocpile

I have used CDLPrep , and with a little time reviewing all the questions. Repeatedly over and over until you start getting them to where you get more than 80% upto 90%;correct! It doesn’t take long either. Without a doubt it will allow you to pass. I got my learners permit with ease. And all the endorsements I wanted. This is what everyone needs. You can get explanations for wrong answers too!

by Alias_9

I took the CLP yesterday, passing airbrakes and general with no issue, but missing 5 on the Combination test. I thought that I’d rushed through too fast on that test, but then I decided to look at combination specific questions through CDLPrep. Studying that just yesterday evening showed me that I had missed a few things in the manual —retaking Combinations just a moment ago, I passed with flying colors (didn’t get a single one wrong).

Thanks CDL prep!

by Gio G.

Downloaded CDLPrep yesterday. Took the practice and exams all day/night. Touched up and re-did everything while waiting at the DMV. Passed missing only a few questions total for my Class A permit. Most (if not all) questions on CDLPrep are on the permit test. The ones I got wrong on CDLPrep were on the test. Luckily I went over it numerous times till I got it right.

by Uriel240sx

I love CDLPrep, I am passing General Knowledge, Combinations, and Airbrakes every time. I just had the toward the end of my exam, with at least 10 questions remainin, and Add pops up and once I click out of the add, my exam was finalized without an opportunity to finish the last 10 questions. Happens every time. But I still give CDLPrep 5 stars!!!

by Cozmocoz

Great app! Much easier to learn from than reading the manual. The practice mode is great because it will show you what you got wrong and highlight the sections of the manual so you can reference the book. The exam modes are great as well. CDLPrep helped me pass my A class test in a week and a half of studying! Strongly recommended!

by 52Muslim

Really helped me a lot, I tried others apps but they have so many questions/answers and they are not helpful ,if it is possible you should make Car/motorcycle Dmv question ans .Thanks I will recommend to everyone who want to pass cdl Dmv test they should read from CDLPrep .

by Trucker DJ

I passed all the 3 tests. A lot of the questions are on the the actual test. I got 1 wrong on air brake/ combo because of that 1 question that wasn’t on CDLPrep . If you’re in California, you have to take the shortened class c test. So 4 tests in total. Thanks cdl prep for helping me pass. I have my permit and one step closer on a career.
