Free New York CDL Metal Coil Endorsement Practice Test 2025
You need a New York State commercial driver license (CDL) with a metal coil endorsement (M) if you drive a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) and transport 5,000 or more pounds of metal coil. A metal coil is any product made of a metal that is bulk packaged or packaged as a roll, coil, spool, wind, or wrap. To qualify for the Metal Coil endorsement, you must hold a Class A, B, or C license and pass a written metal coil knowledge test. The new endorsement will be identified as the code "M" on the endorsement section of your license. The metal coil knowledge test is based on the material presented in the New York Driver's Manual for the Safe Securement of Metal Coils and Other Cargo. At the test site, you'll be given a copy of the Working Load Limit Table to use when answering the questions. On the Metal Coil knowledge test, you'll get 20 multiple-choice questions. This practice test is designed to help you prepare for the actual test. Each question is multiple choice. Once you have answered all of the questions, a score will be provided and you will have the option to review each question and the correct answer.

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
Alignment with Official Manuals: Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
Community Feedback Integration: We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
Expert Content Creation: Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
Rigorous Review Process: Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
User Feedback Mechanism: After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
Responsive Updates: In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
