Free South Dakota CDL HazMat Practice Test 2024

One of the best ways to expand your opportunities as a commercial vehicle driver is to receive your South Dakota Hazardous Materials (HazMat) endorsement, so that you can qualify for more jobs and carry a wider variety of loads. Today, you will be one step closer to receiving your endorsement as you prepare for your exam by taking a practice test. This 30-question multiple-choice test is based on information directly from the South Dakota Commercial Driver License Manual. Each question has a hint, if you need it, as well as an explanation. We recommend reading each explanation carefully, as each contains highlights about each topic that will help you answer future questions correctly on your real exam. Retake this practice test as often as necessary until you feel comfortable and confident in achieving a passing score. Good luck both now and on your real HazMat exam, and drive safely!
