    I'm being told after I finish my 200 hours of behind the wheel training, I wil have a 60 question knowledge test. If anyone remembers taking this test, tips would be appreciated.

    Focus on all your training.If you do well,no reason why you can't pass.Two hundred hours is a lot of time to learn and all the questions asked will pertain to the training.Your company wants to make sure you learned something and ready to go solo.So do your very best in training if there is something you don't know or understand ask your trainer.This test could either make you or brake you meaning another dose of training if you don't pass.

    Right, I'm studying the Marcos. Just wondering if anyone who had recently taken the test, has any advice on what to focus on, that maybe have thrown them off or been unexpected.

    It is multiple choice, so it shouldn't be too hard.

    My mentor told me to focus on pages 30,54,56,57,58,62,65,68,71, & 73 in the student driver guide. Has your mentor mentioned any about what pages to study?

    Really? I talked to student development today for my "150 hour review" and she told me everything BUT trip planning will be on the test.

    I'm sure nothing has changed. I remember it being 150 hours for the mid-term test. Macros, multiple choice, AND trip planning...basically, how would you route across the country on a load. Easy stuff.

    I don't remember taking this test 2 years ago. Is this something new? Are you talking about a test after you get off your trainer's truck and prior to going solo?


    It used to be just a road test unless I have early symptoms of old people syndrome.
