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

Published June 25, 2026

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

How many questions on the Missouri CDL test?

Missouri 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.

Missouri CDL test cost (approximate)

Written exam fees at Missouri DOR are typically $20–$35 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.

Missouri study tip

Missouri DOR CDL applicants pass written tests before the skills exam — air brakes if equipped.
