Road Ready CDL help

Your study plan

How does the plan work?

When you first open the app, it asks for your state, your licence class, the tests you need and your test date. It uses these to build a study plan. From there you can:

• take practice tests of 25 questions, with instant feedback after each answer;
• drill a single topic;
• review missed questions. A question leaves the review queue after you answer it correctly two times in a row;
• sit a timed exam simulator;
• check your readiness score for each test.

Every answer has an explanation and a manual section reference. You can bookmark questions to come back to. The app works offline and needs no account.

Can I change my state, tests or test date?

Yes. You can change your state, licence class, chosen tests and test date in the app at any time, and your plan follows the new choices.

Free and Premium

The first practice test in each section you choose is free, with full explanations. Premium unlocks everything else. You can get Premium as a weekly subscription, a 3-month subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices can vary by country and are shown in the app before you pay. There is no free trial and there are no ads.

Purchases and subscriptions

Restoring a purchase

If Premium does not show after you pay, or after you reinstall the app, use "Restore purchase" in the app. Make sure your phone is signed in to Google Play with the same Google account you bought with, and that you are online.

I bought lifetime. How do I get it on a new phone?

Sign in to Google Play on the new phone with the same Google account, install the app, and use "Restore purchase". You do not pay again. Your study progress is stored only on the old phone and does not move with the purchase.

Cancelling a subscription

Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in Google Play: Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → CDL Prep: Permit Test 2027. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy.

Spanish and audio mode

Switching between English and Spanish

The app and the questions are available in English and Spanish. You can switch language in the app's settings.

Audio mode

Listen-only audio mode reads questions and answers aloud using your phone's own text-to-speech engine. If you hear nothing, check your media volume and that a text-to-speech voice for your language is installed in your phone's settings.

Reminders not arriving?

Daily reminders are scheduled on your phone and work offline. If they're late or missing:

1. Make sure notifications are allowed for the app in your phone's settings. The permission is optional, so it may be off.
2. Check that daily reminders are switched on in the app.
3. Set the app's battery usage to Unrestricted in your phone's app settings. Some phones (Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei, Oppo) stop apps in the background; see dontkillmyapp.com for your model.

Wrong questions and resetting progress

Reporting a wrong question

Our content may contain errors. If a question, answer or explanation looks wrong, use "Report a problem" on that question. It opens your email app with the question ID filled in; add what you think is wrong and send it. You can also email us directly at the address below.

Resetting progress

"Reset progress" in the app deletes your study profile, answers, progress and bookmarks from your device. This cannot be undone. It does not cancel a subscription or remove a purchase.

Is this official? Is it ELDT?

No to both. Road Ready CDL is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any state DMV or government agency, and it is not an Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) provider, so it does not count towards any required training. Passing is not guaranteed, and question counts and pass marks vary by state. Always check your state's official CDL manual.

Still stuck?

Use "Contact support" in the app, or email [email protected] with your phone model and a description of the problem.
