FREE PE General Knowledge Test 1 2025
Did you know that Prince Edward Island’s Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT) program for Class 1 commercial drivers requires 240 hours of instruction? This comprehensive training ensures drivers are prepared for various driving conditions and includes classroom learning, practical yard work, and air brake instruction. Students applying for a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 licence are not required to complete MELT. However, all applicants must pass the official Prince Edward Island Commercial Vehicle Knowledge Test to progress in the licensing process. This exam consists of multiple-choice questions based on the official Prince Edward Island Commercial Vehicle Driver’s Handbook, a study guide for professional drivers.
As you begin your learning phase, it is crucial to avoid rushing. Commercial driving involves great responsibility, and the skills to safely operate a commercial vehicle cannot be developed overnight. Build your knowledge and confidence gradually with the help of our Prince Edward Island General Knowledge Practice Tests. They are designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official exam, giving you valuable insight into what to expect on exam day.
Keep track of your progress using the general overview at the top of the page. All 30 questions are displayed in a line. Questions you answer correctly turn green, while incorrect ones turn red. Your mistakes are also displayed, along with how many more mistakes you can make before failing.
As a beginner, it is perfectly normal to make a few failed attempts. Do not let them discourage you. Instead, you should identify areas that need improvement and learn from your mistakes with the help of our detailed explanation feature. We provide immediate feedback with each question, helping you understand the reasoning behind the correct answer. We recommend noting this feedback down in a notebook or notebook app to reinforce your knowledge and learn through repetition.
