FREE MB General Knowledge Test 1

To make studying commercial driving theory easier, we provide you with an intuitive tool designed to boost your learning potential. This is the first of our Manitoba General Knowledge Practice Tests, which have been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official exam. With unlimited attempts and nonstop access, there’s no limit to how often you can practice with this tool. There are 55 questions based on the official Manitoba Professional Driver’s Manual. To pass, you must score 80% or higher.

As you begin your learning phase, you should start by reading the official manual. This is the primary resource for aspiring commercial drivers. Familiarize yourself with its contents and learn about common driving conditions, safe vehicle operation, and mandatory pre-trip inspections. You can also have this manual open in another browser tab while training with our practice test. Our automated assistant will provide additional support. Request a hint whenever you get stuck on a difficult question or ask for a detailed explanation of the correct answer. Remember, your goal is to become a safe and responsible commercial driver.

Students with auditory memory greatly benefit from the voice-over function. Once activated, this feature uses an artificial voice to read the questions and answer choices aloud. It can also increase focus and retention rates if you practise in a crowded environment where distractions are more likely to occur.

Every question you get wrong will be automatically added to your personal Challenge Bank™. Please visit this section after each training session to identify areas that need improvement and learn from your mistakes. Questions in the Challenge Bank will remain there until you answer them correctly. We recommend noting the detailed explanation down in a notebook or notebook app, as it can help you avoid repeating the same mistake during future attempts.

Start your learning phase today and dedicate the following weeks to mastering commercial driving theory. Read the official professional driver’s manual at least once and use all our Manitoba General Knowledge Practice Tests to build the confidence necessary to pass the official exam on your first attempt.
