Published June 25, 2026

Studying for your Arkansas CDL written exam? Here is what applicants typically need to know before visiting Arkansas DFA Revenue.

How many questions on the Arkansas CDL test?

Arkansas 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.

Arkansas CDL test cost (approximate)

Written exam fees at Arkansas DFA Revenue are typically $20–$40 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.

Arkansas study tip

Arkansas requires knowledge tests for each CDL class and endorsement before skills testing.
