practice on this site... Here is the link:

What are you having a problem remembering for the hazmat test? Anything specific?
.
.General advice is do not guess unless you absolutely have to. If you do not understand the question or do not have a clue for an answer , press the "Skip" button. That question will go to the back of the list. There are 30 questions. You need 80% correct; that means 24 to pass. The test automatically ends when you get 24 correct answers or you answered all 30 questions -- whichever comes first.
.
.Get your Commercial Driver's Manual and study chapter 9. Try highlighting the important stuff in different colors. Outline that chapter in a notebook. It helps you to remember. If you can come up with a picture in your mind that can provide an answer that is also helpful.
.
.For example: You can not use a cargo heater with what hazardous materials? If you picture yourself in the truck, when you turn the heat on, you feel the heat on your leg. How do you spell leg? L-E-G.
.L is for liquid. What kind of liquid? Flammable liquid.
.E is for explosives
.G is for gas. What kind of gas? Flammable gas.
.Those are the correct hazardous materials that you cannot use a cargo heater when hauling them.

 

I too was told after 25 years I needed Hazmat... here is what I did...

I read the book slowly... do not get overwhelmed by all the numbers on certain materials.... then re-read again slowly... take breaks... then go back and re-read the parts you do not understand... memorize the easy stuff i.e. Fire extinguisher requirements... checking the tires after 100 miles....

Then keep taking the practice test on this site... keep taking it as many times until you get all 30 correct...

This will take a few hours but you will be prepared to pass... also if you fail at DMV you can take the test the same day at another DMV they will not tell you this but if you only have one day to get it done I would go to another DMV if you do fail...

All the tests are pretty closely matched... during the test you will recognize the questions you guessed at so if you fail go look up the correct answer when re-taking...

Best of luck....

 

If you practice the practice tests on this site there is no need to study the manual . The key is to keep practicing with the tests . There will be a few different answers on the test each time you take it .

 

I used this plus the cheat sheets from Smith& Solomon. Questions are the same as the jersey test almost word for word.

Some of the questions are word for word...
