Interested In Obtaining CDL; Needing Advice

I've been studying to get my permit, but I'm struggling. I've never been very good at studying, more of a hands on learner. Any advice on the best way to prepare for the permit test?

That's right, Misty. The High Road study plan is interactive. First you read a section of the manual, then you get some questions on that part. If you miss one, that question will come back and come back again till you answer correctly.

There's other reading material and you can always come into this forum with another question.

They are correct. A few people I know personally struggled with studying for the permit. I sent them to The High Road, and they nailed their attempts.

Here is something to think about. The test is on the computer. It's nearly identical in all states ( *side eyeing you TX* )

Use the high road, make sure you read each question THOROUGHLY when you are at the DMV taking your test.

Slow down, read your questions. If you aren't 💯 confident in your answer, press the skip option. The test will eventually throw another question at you, worded differently. You will not have to complete every question on the test. It will throw questions at you, until you miss too many and fail, or it is mathematically impossible for you to fail, and will shut the session down as either a Pass or Fail. I wasn't prepared for that, and nearly had a heart attack thinking I failed.

I also did the permit test in Montana, and again after I moved to North Carolina. I missed the same question in both states, and realized it the millisecond after I pushed the button 🤣

And a little side note;

Study with ONLY 1 thing, don't listen to people around you saying "Oh try this app yada yada" My classmate in 2019 did that and failed 4 times. We'd planned to team, I was already out with a trainer almost done.

His problem was listening to different people at the terminal , and trying like 4-5 other apps(wouldn't listen to me to come HERE) I stayed up a couple nights til 4 am "trying" to help him get it.....5th try he finally passed and went out to train.

I agree. Doing the High Road here over and over made taking the test at the DMV a breeze. Anyone I come into contact with that wants to get into trucking, that's where I send them.

Oh wow... do you know if that's a universal thing or state-by-state? The part about being able to skip questions. I've got my written exam scheduled for Monday. My wife has hers scheduled the following Thursday!

Do you think the High Road Training alone is enough? Anything else anyone would recommend? Thanks!

Yes, it's universal. The test is set up so that once you incorrectly answer x number of questions, you fail automatically, without having to finish. On the flip side , once you answer x number of questions correctly you automatically pass without having to finish. So it's in your best interest to skip the hard ones and answer the easy ones. In other words, get as many correct as you can before having to risk it on the hard ones.

The catch is you only get to skip a question one time. Once you cycle through all the questions, the same hard ones will come back around and you now have to answer them.

Oh and yes, the High Road is more than enough. It is by far the easiest way to master and retain the knowledge. It's been around for years and years. Countless members here have aced our tests because of it.

Thanks all! Worked like a charm! Passed my written exam yesterday and received my permit! Wife takes hers on Thursday!
