Arizona currently requires a minimum score of 80 percent on each CDL knowledge test. An applicant who fails a knowledge test must wait until the next business day before retaking it.
applicability
Arizona Class B CDL applicants using this mixed practice bank
Class B generally covers a single vehicle with a GVWR or GVW of at least 26,001 pounds, or such a vehicle towing a vehicle that does not exceed 10,000 pounds GVWR or GVW. Air-brake restrictions and H, N, P, and S endorsements have separate applicability conditions, so the mixed practice bank includes conditional modules that are not required for every Class B applicant.
