Sample NV CDL School Bus Endorsement Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the NV CDL School Bus Endorsement exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 112+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which endorsement must a Nevada school-bus applicant hold or obtain along with the School Bus (S) endorsement?
A.Passenger (P)
B.Tank Vehicle (N)
C.Doubles/Triples (T)
D.Hazardous Materials (H)
Explanation: Federal and Nevada CDL rules require a school-bus driver to qualify for both the Passenger (P) and School Bus (S) endorsements. The S endorsement adds school-bus-specific knowledge and skills requirements.
2What is Nevada's minimum age for receiving Passenger and School Bus endorsements?
A.18
B.21
C.19
D.25
Explanation: Nevada requires an applicant to be at least 21 years old for Passenger and School Bus endorsements. Younger adults may qualify for restricted intrastate commercial driving but not these passenger privileges.
3Why can a Nevada CDL holder who is 20 years old and has restrictions K and R not drive a school bus carrying students?
A.Restriction K bars all buses, while R requires a route permit
B.Restriction R permits passengers only during daylight
C.Restriction R bars passengers, while K limits operation to intrastate commerce
D.Restriction K expires only after five years of CDL experience
Explanation: Nevada places K (intrastate only) and R (no passengers or hazardous materials) on CDLs for drivers ages 18 through 20. The R restriction is incompatible with carrying school-bus passengers.
4What ELDT must a first-time Nevada School Bus endorsement applicant complete before the skills test?
A.Only a self-study reading of the Nevada handbook
B.A hazmat security-threat assessment
C.A road test with no prior theory instruction
D.School Bus theory and behind-the-wheel training from a provider on the federal Training Provider Registry
Explanation: A first School Bus endorsement requires the applicable federal Entry-Level Driver Training theory and behind-the-wheel curricula before skills testing. Completion is reported through the federal Training Provider Registry.
5Which statement correctly combines Nevada's normal CLP validity and pre-skills-test hold?
A.The CLP is valid for 180 days, and the holder must wait at least 14 days before skills testing
B.The CLP is valid for 90 days, with a 30-day hold
C.The CLP is valid for one year, with no hold
D.The CLP remains valid indefinitely while ELDT is current
Explanation: Nevada's CLP is normally valid for 180 days, and the applicant must hold it for at least 14 days before taking the CDL skills test.
6What does Nevada DMV's current commercial fee table list for adding one endorsement and issuing a new photo?
A.$30 plus $14
B.$14 plus $3.50
C.$57.50 plus $30
D.$111.50 plus $3.50
Explanation: Nevada lists $14 for each added endorsement and $3.50 for a new photo. A required driving-skills test has its own separate $30 charge.
7A Nevada school bus is stopped on an undivided highway with flashing red signals. What must traffic approaching from the opposite direction do?
A.Continue at 15 mph after sounding the horn
B.Stop only if children are visibly crossing the centerline
C.Stop and remain stopped until the signals cease, unless directed otherwise by a traffic officer
D.Continue because only traffic behind the bus must stop
Explanation: NRS 484B.353 requires drivers approaching a stopped school bus from either direction on an undivided highway to stop for its flashing red signals, subject to a traffic officer's direction.
8When may opposing traffic continue past a Nevada school bus stopped with red signals on the other side of a divided highway?
A.Whenever the opposing driver reduces speed below 25 mph
B.Only after the opposing driver flashes the headlights
C.Never; Nevada requires every roadway in both directions to stop
D.When the bus is on a different roadway separated by a physical divider or intervening space
Explanation: Nevada's school-bus stopping law does not require a driver to stop when traveling on a different roadway of a divided highway. A painted centerline alone is not the divided-roadway exception.
9A Nevada school-bus driver chooses to report a motorist who illegally passed the bus. Which report best matches state law?
A.A report sent within two working days through the superintendent that includes date, time, location, plate and state, and vehicle type and color
B.An anonymous report made within 30 days with only the vehicle color
C.A same-day report containing the motorist's name and insurance policy
D.A report sent directly to a court with the bus driver's estimate of the fine
Explanation: NRS 484B.357 permits a school-bus driver to prepare a report identifying the event and vehicle. If prepared, it must be sent within two working days to the school superintendent, who forwards it to DMV.
10What Nevada speed rule distinguishes an ordinary school route from transportation to a school activity?
A.The bus is always limited to 45 mph regardless of trip purpose
B.The bus is limited to 55 mph to or from school, but may travel at the posted limit when transporting pupils to or from a school activity
C.The bus may use the posted limit on a school route but only 55 mph for activities
D.The 55 mph limit applies only when the bus is empty
Explanation: NRS 484B.360 sets a 55 mph maximum while a school bus transports pupils to or from school. It allows the posted speed limit while transporting pupils to or from an activity that is properly part of a school program.

About the NV CDL School Bus Endorsement Exam

Nevada's School Bus (S) endorsement is added to the required Passenger (P) qualification for drivers of covered school buses. The CDL assessment includes school-bus knowledge and skills, while Nevada education and traffic authorities publish additional state operating rules and driver-training material. Current state-specific topics include age and CLP rules, ELDT, school-bus stopping and reporting laws, route speed limits, warning-lamp use, and post-trip student checks. This resource is independent English-language four-option study practice, not official test questions, an official format simulation, or a substitute for hands-on skills preparation.
