About this test
Practice for the CDL school bus (S) endorsement knowledge test with original questions written from the matching section of the Texas Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Handbook (DL-7C, revised March 2026), which follows the national AAMVA model CDL manual used by most states. Every correct answer is backed by a passage of the handbook and checked by two independent verifiers.
- Study: every question with a short explanation.
- Topic drills: danger zones and mirrors, loading and unloading, emergency exit and evacuation, railroad crossings, student management, brakes and special hazards.
- Mock test: not offered, because the handbook states the 80% pass mark but not the number of questions.
The questions are written in our own words in English and Spanish; this is not any state's question bank. The CDL general knowledge test and other endorsements are separate pages.
