My CDL school rant

So last night I had class, this past week was watching a ton of videos getting ready to take the written test. Last night I took general knowledge, air brakes, double and triples and combo. Passed all.

The problem I have is, you watch the DVD then take a practice test. Watched a video on doubles and triples and then took a test, missed 4, when i reviewed the ones I missed I was shocked!! The 4 missed were taken right from the video, Now I have a memory longer then a gold fish and can retain info longer then 2 mins.

I questioned the instructor/owner and said that I answered them correctly according to the DVD, well they don't like to be told their wrong so it was pointless. I said, watch the video and you'll see. Well that didn't work so I figured what ever. Its a practice but the issue I have is if there going to sit you down and watch DVD's for a week for 4 hours and charge you 4K I would like to know the correct info. There info is wrong and I was just pissed that they wouldn't listen or even take the time to watch 5 mins of the DVD where I got the test questions from because it was late and I am the only student in class and they wanted to go home, hell they were locking the doors while I was asking questions. I felt like I was intruding and being pushed out the door.

I didn't want to come off as a Know it all because I am not but maybe they need to watch their own videos and catch miss takes if their going to use DVD's to get the students to pass the written!!!

I am seriously thinking of stopping and going to a different school, or am I over reacting and just get the written done and move forward???

Sorry for the rant but this was still bugging me this morning and had to vent.

 

I know that I can pass the written and didn't want to come off as a whiner because I know I have more hurdles ahead. Just had to rant and vent a little.

 

Oh wow, complaining all the time?

Oh wow, really? Complaint all the time?

 

it's not complaining its voicing a concern. If a school is going to use this method to teach how to pass the written then they better #### well have their information correct. I am paying this school to help me get my CDL if I have a concern about test questions being wrong then I have every right to voice my concern.

 

Thanks Chinatown, I am pushing forward, taking the written next Wednesday and then my DOT drug test and physical.
