Studying for your Alabama CDL written exam? Here is what applicants typically need to know before visiting ALEA Driver License.

How many questions on the Alabama CDL test?

Alabama 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.

Alabama CDL test cost (approximate)

Written exam fees at ALEA Driver License are typically $25–$50 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.
