passing
Oklahoma CDL knowledge-test applicants
The 2026 Oklahoma CareerTech testing manual lists an 80 percent passing score for all CDL written exams. The 100 questions on this practice page are the saved study-bank count and are not presented as an official Oklahoma Class C exam length.
applicability
Oklahoma applicants determining whether Class C and specialty endorsements apply
Service Oklahoma defines Class C as a single vehicle with a GVWR below 26,001 pounds that requires a hazardous-materials or passenger endorsement. Specialty modules in the mixed practice bank apply only when the relevant vehicle, cargo, passengers, brake system, or endorsement makes them applicable.
