    Read the book over with a highlighter and highlight anything you recall was on there. Also take online cdl practice tests over and over and over before bed every night. Let that junk marinate into your head.

    Don’t just memorize online tests. Actually know what it is. Very important stuff concerning brakes

    If you "thought" you would pass... that was your first mistake. Practice it like you could do it in your sleep.. then you'll KNOW you passed.

    You did not take in brake system information and did not retain anything towards test time.

    Its not too bad because all you are doing is a permit.; However you will need to have the material studied nd learned well before your big boy CDL tests.

    Yeah I thought I would pass, figured since I read the book front/back that I would pass. That's how I got through school BUT now I know better.
