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

North Dakota CDL test cost (approximate)

Written exam fees at North Dakota DOT 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.
