- Updated for May 2025
NS General Knowledge Marathon
Driving a commercial vehicle is completely different from driving a car. Drivers must know more about their vehicles, and they need to take extra safety precautions. A commercial driver’s licence is required to drive a commercial vehicle of a certain size and weight in Canada. To obtain a commercial driver’s licence in Nova Scotia, the driver must pass a written knowledge test and a road test. This 219-question Marathon contains all questions from our other NS General Knowledge tests. It will cycle through them until you’ve provided a correct answer to each of them. The General Knowledge Marathon is based on the 2025 Nova Scotia commercial driver’s manual. You can also use our regular General Knowledge practice tests for NS to prepare for your test. When you’re ready, take the General Knowledge Exam Simulator.
- Perfect for first-time and renewal commercial applicants, and those adding endorsements
- Triple-checked for accuracy
