    After all you've been through, keep studying and taking until you pass.

    Nerves will kill ya, the test aint ####. But they want it done their way. Practice it out loud, like your training someone on how to do it. 2nd nature pretty quick

    What are you doing (or not doing)? Once you fail, you can ask questions and get info from the tester ..

    That air brake test is a PITA. You probly wont ever do it after you get you license. Kind of like double clutching and having a death grip on the shifter lol - We learned the air brake thing by repeating it 50 million times - keep at it you will get it.
