How well do the practice tests prepare you?

I think that requirement to see your registration and insurance for all of your vehicles is for people transferring from another state. It kind of confused me at first too. Just checked and it says this about that : (New Residents who are surrendering an out-of-state driver license only)

But

I used my vehicle registration and insurance for my two forms to prove Texas residency because all the bills (water, cable, elec, etc are in the wife's name)

The gal at the DMV would only let me take the tanker endorsement test even though I was prepared to take them all except passenger vehicle. She told me I need my CDL before I could take any further endorsement tests. So... another #### visit to the burning hell that is the Fort Worth DMV.

I'm thinking about driving 45 minutes west to a smaller town like Weatherford or Mineral Wells and take the other tests there. The big city DMVs are a huge boot to the balls.

 

I prefer the practice tests on TruckerCountry.com because as far as I can tell they have every question on every endorsement and I have used it several times to renew my HazMat. The practice tests are exactly what you will see on the state written/computer tests. Remember, that test is not an essay or discussion test. If you are getting those type of scores you should pass the real test easily even if you see a real question with a wrong "correct answer". It's a pass/fail test and only you and the state MIGHT know your score after you pass them.

 

There's no doubt that a trip to the Tx DPS DL office is less than desirable. When I was having to go to do "the nasty", I'd go out to the Weatherford office, but the gig is up and anymore it is just as bad as in Ft Worth. Apparently everyone has figured out that little secret. I'm not sure about Mineral Wells...

There is a mega center in the Eastchase/I30 area and you can put yourself inline for that location at this website: Get Inline Online

I've had success in getting in and out of there (Eastchase) fairly efficiently in the past. It's still a kick in the sack, but I've not spent near the time working it that way as compared to the others. I avoid the Wedgewood, Azle Ave. and Hurst locations like the plague.

As has been said, be sure you have everything you need before going. It sucks to spend the time waiting only to find out you need some stupid document to get it done. Good luck!

 

Which office did you go to? Time wise, that's about average for what I've encountered.

Congrats on passing! It is a great feeling to have cleared a hurdle!!

 

Hey that's great! Congrats!!

As for that question, I ran into that on one of my online study sites. Only thing I can figure is they believe that if you are in a drive wheel skid you are more than likely also sliding one way or the other which would require counter steering.

I wish I would have taken note of the few questions I got that I felt came from left field. When reviewing my answers, sure enough those were the only ones I missed.

 

Yeah, I went to the new Azle Ave location. Arrived 45 minutes early and there was already a small line. By the time they finally opened the doors at 8:30 the line was half a block long down the side of the building. I hate that place, where are all these F'en people coming from??

 

Your first year will be a ongoing education in what you don\t yet know.

Texas aint half bad considering.

I just finished examining the area above Houston Ennis comes to mind.

Its been a education to me as how much has been eliminated and replaced in the name of profiteering margins.
