In order to obtain the Hazmat endorsement drivers are required to pass a Transportation Security Administration background check and a knowledge test. The Missouri hazmat test consists of 30 questions. To pass, you must correctly answer at least 24 questions (80%). The MO CDL hazmat test covers the information found in the Missouri CDL Manual.
