Sample Georgia School Bus Test Questions

Question 1

Which condition should you verify when inspecting a bus battery compartment?

  1. A. The connections show visible signs of excessive wear
  2. B. The connections are corrosion-free, but the battery-box door may be loose
  3. C. The connections have no excessive corrosion, and the box and its cover or door are undamaged and secure
  4. D. The battery cell caps have been removed

Correct answer: C. – The connections have no excessive corrosion, and the box and its cover or door are undamaged and secure

The battery must be secure, its connections must be tight, and its cell caps must be present. The connections should not show excessive corrosion. The battery box and its cover or door must also be secure and free from damage so that the compartment is properly closed.

Question 2

How should the flat, convex, and crossover mirrors be used when checking school-bus danger zones?

  1. A. All at once every four seconds
  2. B. In sequence every five seconds, regardless of conditions
  3. C. In sequence every fifteen seconds
  4. D. In a logical sequence to verify that no child or object is in a danger zone

Correct answer: D. – In a logical sequence to verify that no child or object is in a danger zone

Crossover mirrors show danger-zone areas near the front and sides of the bus that are not visible through direct vision. They should be used with the convex and flat mirrors in a logical sequence. This systematic check helps the driver verify that no child or object is within any danger zone before moving the bus.

Question 3

While loading at a bus stop, what should you do if an expected student is missing?

  1. A. Wait indefinitely for the student to appear
  2. B. Ask the other students where the missing student is
  3. C. Immediately leave without checking
  4. D. Call the school before speaking to anyone at the stop

Correct answer: B. – Ask the other students where the missing student is

The driver should count the students at the stop and make sure all of them board. Knowing their names when possible helps the driver account for each student. If an expected student is missing, the CDL manual instructs the driver to ask the other students where that student is.

Question 4

Why must a school bus driver use extra caution at a passive railroad crossing?

  1. A. Motorists are permitted to pass on the tracks
  2. B. Warning bells make approaching trains difficult to hear
  3. C. The crossing has no active control device such as flashing lights or gates
  4. D. Animals frequently gather between the rails

Correct answer: C. – The crossing has no active control device such as flashing lights or gates

A passive crossing lacks active devices such as flashing red signals or gates. It may still have advance warning signs, pavement markings, and crossbucks. The Georgia CDL manual requires the bus driver to stop, search for trains, and determine whether there is sufficient clear space to cross safely.

Question 5

What is the safest response when serious student behavior requires immediate attention while the bus is moving?

  1. A. Continue driving while watching the students in the interior mirror
  2. B. Order the students to change seats while the bus is moving
  3. C. Stop in a safe location, secure the bus, and address the students firmly and respectfully
  4. D. Put the student off the bus at the nearest location

Correct answer: C. – Stop in a safe location, secure the bus, and address the students firmly and respectfully

If a serious behavior problem must be addressed, stop the bus in a safe location off the road and secure it. Take the ignition key if you leave the driver's seat. Speak respectfully but firmly, remind the students of the expected behavior, and follow the school's disciplinary procedures rather than trying to manage the problem while driving.

Question 6

Which situation requires evacuation of a school bus?

  1. A. The bus is on fire or threatened by fire
  2. B. The bus is in imminent danger of a collision
  3. C. A hazardous-materials spill creates a need for rapid evacuation
  4. D. All of the above

Correct answer: D. – All of the above

The driver must evacuate when the bus is on fire or threatened by fire, when there is an imminent danger of collision, or when a hazardous-materials spill creates a need for rapid evacuation. Mandatory evacuation also applies if the bus is stalled on or next to a railroad crossing or if its position may shift and increase the danger. The evacuation decision must be timely.
