Got my CDL permit today!!!!

So I studied, I went, I conquered. Well, not really. The air brakes test and the combination test were tricky. Most of the ones I missed were due to discrepencies or not matching up with the study booklet.

For instance, the book says the emergency brakes will come on between 20-40 psi, with an average of around 35, but the test only offered answers of 20, 40, 60, 100 or something like that. I chose 40, but the correct answer was 20......go figure.

Just glad its over. The written part next time should be easier after school in a few weeks!!! Just got my notification for orientation next week, then start school on 9/5/07 at a local tech school.

 

Not so much a question, but more of a statement about the lack of continuity between the study guide and the actual test.

Perhaps I'm looking for anyone else that encountered these problems and/or advising those about to take their test about the situation.

A few of the questions would be comparable to taking a math test and the guide you're studying says 2 + 2 = a range between 3-5 (notwithstanding this is basic knowledge), but on the test the answer could be 3, 4, or 5 and you have to guess.
