CDL Ready

Pass your CDL knowledge test the first time. CDL Ready is a study plan built around your test date — your state, the sections you actually need, and how many days you have left. Answer a few questions and it tells you, honestly, whether you are ready. EVERY ANSWER EXPLAINED Not just a red X. Each of the 360 questions comes with plain-English reasoning, so you learn the rule instead of memorizing the letter. ASK THE AI TUTOR Still confused? Ask why. The tutor explains your specific mistake in your own words and answers follow-ups. Three questions a day free; more with Pass Pro. A READINESS SCORE YOU CAN TRUST Your score is based on your own answers and stays honest about how much it knows. It will not call you ready after ten lucky guesses — and it tells you which section to fix first. EVERY SECTION, EVERY ENDORSEMENT • General Knowledge • Air Brakes • Combination Vehicles (Class A) • Pre-Trip Inspection • Hazardous Materials (H) • Tank Vehicles (N) • Doubles & Triples (T) • Passenger (P) • School Bus (S) MOCK EXAMS LIKE THE REAL ONE Timed exams sized and scored like the state test, so the real thing feels familiar. REMINDERS THAT KNOW WHEN TO STOP One nudge a day at the time you usually study, a heads-up before your test, and nothing else. If you stop studying, they stop too. NO ACCOUNT. NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR. Your progress stays on your phone. Light, dark, or green — pick the theme that fits your cab. FREE TO START Practice the core sections free with ads. Go further with: • Remove Ads — one-time • 30-Day Pass — full access for 30 days, no auto-renew • Pass Pro — weekly or monthly subscription, cancel any time • Lifetime — pay once, everything unlocked forever Questions are based on the FMCSA CDL manual and updated without app updates.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NASW at none against CDL Ready's 4. CDL Ready's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
