Studying For The Learner's Permit
Topic 2585 | Page 1
Welcome aboard Joshua!
Ok, what we have setup for ya is our High Road Training Program. It's a CDL test preparation course that breaks the CDL manual into small chunks with questions at the end of each section. There are 700 multiple choice questions, a scoring system, and a review system that recycles the questions you've already done as a review. We've sent thousands of people through that program and the scores people get on their CDL exam are through the roof. Give that program a shot and see what you think. There's nothing else out there that even comes close to the effectiveness of what we've put together.
And by the way - understand something - you don't study for a test by memorizing practice questions. You have to read through the material thoroughly also. I can't understand what makes people think that you're going to be given the actual test questions to study from as if the DMV called us to say, "Hey TruckingTruth - here's the actual test questions so all of your site's visitors can memorize them. We'd hate for anyone to actually have to learn the materials or risk failing our test." I mean, seriously. Is that how it worked in school growing up? Did the teachers hand out the actual test with all of the answers for you to take home and study so you could come in and take the test later that week? Of course not. Well we don't have the actual questions they'll ask anymore than anyone else does. We have an excellent idea of what they'll ask you and we covered every one of them we could think of. But there are literally hundreds of millions of possible questions you can derive from the CDL manual. We created 700 that we thought you were likely to see on the exam. But ultimately you have to read and understand the materials also.CDL:

What worked for me was reading the cdl book from the DMV and writing it down in a note pad and highlighting the important stuff.I am currently studying the high road on this site to finish up the rest of my endorsements. good luck bud, I know you can get this out of the way and move on to the best part, getting behind the wheel and shifting those gears.

Last time I made a push to get my CDL , I had studied up enough (or so I thought) to go take the tests at the DMV. I was enrolled at a private school, was acing all the online tests (including the tests here) consistently and passing the school's paper tests also, which were the same version as the DMV. However, when it came time to sit down and take the test, lots of questions were unfamiliar to me.
After failing twice on the general knowledge, I went back and looked at the manual. Sure as the sun will rise, that info in the questions was in there. Just not on any of the tests I'd taken! I was so irritated.
Thanks for bearing with me here! So, my question is this. Besides making my own questions, etc, are their any other options for practice tests? What techniques have yall used to get past that permit test?!
THANK YOU!

TWIC:

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
