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

Published June 25, 2026

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

How many questions on the Idaho CDL test?

Idaho 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.

Idaho CDL test cost (approximate)

Written exam fees at Idaho DMV are typically $20–$30 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.
