The Florida CDL test is challenging but very passable with proper preparation. You need to score 80% to pass. Most students who practice with our free tests and study the official Florida DHSMV handbook pass on their first attempt.
Common mistakes to avoid:
Yes! Florida offers the CDL written test in Spanish. However, the road test is always conducted in English with the examiner. We recommend familiarizing yourself with English terms as well.
Your Florida Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) is valid for 180 days (6 months). You must complete your ELDT training and pass the CDL skills test before it expires. If it expires, you'll need to retake the written tests.
If you fail the Florida CDL test, you can retake it after 7 days. You'll pay a retest fee ($61). There's no limit on attempts, but your CLP must remain valid. Use our practice tests to study the areas where you struggled.
We have multiple cities with FMCSA-verified CDL schools in Florida.
