CDL Permit Question

I just completed my DOT physical and drug test and planning on taking the CDL permit test here in South Carolina on Monday. I was wondering if I am making 80-100% on the practice tests on here should I be ok on the real test? Is the permit test hard? How are the questions compaired to the ones on here? I just want to make sure I pass on the first attempt.. Thanks

Jake, are you just using the practice tests, or did you work through the High Road Training Program?

Personally, I think you'll be fine if your getting scores like you say, but that high road training program would have made you an expert. Always read the questions slowly and carefully. Sometimes they are posed in a negative tense, such as which of these four choices is the incorrect way to blah blah blah? You've got to be careful and make sure what it is they are looking for.

Also many states allow you to skip a question if you aren't sure about it, and once you've gotten the proper number of questions correct for a passing score then the test is over and you may not have to return to the questions you skipped over.

I did the HRTP and the questions (Florida) were almost word-for-word the same.

Agreed Old School. I just like to think that I'm smart! LOL but High Road is the TRUTH! See what I did there? Seriously I ran thru Combination, Double/Triple, and Tanker in less than 15 minutes and passed all three. Missed 2 on combinations. One was a bonehead mistake. When they showed me the wrong answer, I said to myself, "I didn't choose that answer". Well obviously my mind didn't but my body did, so like Old School said take it slow and re-read if necessary. I saw plenty of questions where they purposefully try to trick you. Follow his tip: The 1 I missed even though I didn't know the answer (THOUGHT I did), I didn't have to miss. Should have just skipped it and answered the others. If you are not 101% sure then save it till the end. If you know your stuff, chances are you won't see that one again (Test shuts off after you attain the necessary number to pass).

My take on why this method works so well is the review questions thrown in from other chapters. You'll be saying to yourself, "Not this question again", but in the end the answers on the real test will almost seem highlighted.

Obviously, impressed with how well and how fast I finished, the guy tried to talk me into giving HAZMAT a try. I had told him that I only LOOKED at all of that info 1 time and wanted to study more. He told me to try it anyway since I was there.. Nope, sorry buddy. Just my luck I WOULDA passed, then had no reason to make sure I KNOW my stuff instead of guessing at it. To me seems like a false sense of security considering we're talking HAZMAT. Good Luck Everybody!
