Sample Oklahoma School Bus Test Questions

Question 1

When should problems or special situations discovered during a school bus post-trip inspection be reported?

  1. A Immediately
  2. B At the end of the driver’s next shift
  3. C When the next maintenance inspection is scheduled
  4. D Only if the same problem occurs again

Correct answer: A – Immediately

Problems or unusual situations found during the post-trip inspection must be reported immediately to a supervisor or school authorities. The inspection includes checking for students, belongings, unsecured windows or doors, damage, and mechanical or operational problems. Waiting until routine maintenance could leave an important condition unaddressed.

Question 2

Properly adjusted crossover mirrors should show the area from the front of the school bus to the service door.

  1. A True
  2. B False

Correct answer: A – True

Crossover mirrors are intended to show danger-zone areas directly in front of and beside the bus. Proper adjustment should provide a view from the front bumper at ground level to the point where direct vision begins, the front tires touching the ground, and the area extending to the service door.

Question 3

Who establishes the official routes and stops used by a school bus?

  1. A The individual bus driver
  2. B The parents of the students
  3. C The school district
  4. D The students assigned to the route

Correct answer: C – The school district

The Oklahoma CDL manual states that each school district establishes its official school bus routes and stops. A driver is responsible for following the approved route and using approved stops. Any change to a stop’s location requires written approval from the appropriate school district official rather than a unilateral decision by the driver.

Question 4

What should be visible in a properly positioned overhead inside rearview mirror?

  1. A All students, including the heads of those directly behind the driver
  2. B Traffic at least 400 feet behind the bus
  3. C The service door and right front wheel
  4. D The rear tires where they touch the roadway

Correct answer: A – All students, including the heads of those directly behind the driver

The overhead inside rearview mirror should be positioned so the driver can see all students, including those seated immediately behind the driver. The top of the rear window should appear at the top of the mirror. Exterior side mirrors, rather than the inside mirror, must be used to monitor traffic approaching from behind.

Question 5

Which action is part of the recommended procedure for unloading students at a route stop?

  1. A Have students stand before the bus reaches the stop
  2. B Stand outside in front of the crossover mirror
  3. C Keep students seated until they are told to exit
  4. D Assign older students to control the exit during routine unloading

Correct answer: C – Keep students seated until they are told to exit

Students should remain seated until the driver tells them to exit. This allows the driver to complete a safe stop and check the mirrors before beginning the unloading process. The driver then counts and observes the students, checks the mirrors again, and accounts for everyone before moving the bus.

Question 6

As a general emergency rule, how is student safety and control best maintained when remaining aboard creates no unnecessary risk?

  1. A By evacuating immediately in every emergency
  2. B By allowing students to decide whether to leave
  3. C By moving everyone to the nearest roadside location
  4. D By keeping the students on the bus

Correct answer: D – By keeping the students on the bus

Students generally should remain on the bus during an emergency or impending crisis when doing so does not expose them to unnecessary risk or injury. Keeping the group aboard can help maintain control. The driver must still recognize the hazard promptly because conditions such as fire, a stalled bus near railroad tracks, or imminent collision danger require evacuation.
