Alaska CDL Written Test — Questions, Cost & Study Tips (2026)

Published June 25, 2026

Studying for your Alaska CDL written exam? Here is what applicants typically need to know before visiting Alaska DMV.

How many questions on the Alaska CDL test?

Alaska general knowledge written exams commonly include about 50 multiple-choice questions for the core CDL knowledge test. Endorsements such as air brakes, combination vehicles, hazmat, and passenger are separate written tests if your license class requires them.

PassCDL mirrors this structure: start with general knowledge, then add endorsement practice for the tests you need.

Alaska CDL test cost (approximate)

Written exam fees at Alaska DMV are typically $15–$25 per test per attempt (varies by office and endorsement). Failing and retesting can cost more than a month of PassCDL Pro — many students prefer unlimited practice before test day.

Alaska study tip

Alaska CDL applicants take general knowledge and endorsement tests at DMV locations — study air brakes if your vehicle uses them.
