    Highlight critical descriptions in your manual, focus on reading those till you get the general idea.

    Oh you passed? Congratulations.

    It would help me greatly if you are able to provide that one question or two that bothered you and you were wrong on. I would love to consider those questions and answers presented to you and then debate the correct answer so you would know.

    There is test and book learning. Once you passed that, then your real learning takes place.

    What I did when I had the Class A leaving the Glen Burnie DMV in Maryland was made a big show of tossing that worn out fat manual of trucking knowledge into the trash bin over my shoulder with a profane word. The tester turned purple in anger.

    I was scared for him. I didnt think it was welcome for him to see that display...

    Just do a simple google search for CDL practice tests. I spent a couple of hours running through them and found the Q&A virtually identical to what I saw at the DMV the following morning. They weren't a perfect prep because I did miss 1 on the 3 different back to back tests, but all you need is 80% right? I imagine the real knowledge comes when you hit the road anyway so just get in there and get your hole punched. Good luck!
