    I have been studying this book for a while now. I was told it does not matter how much I study and attempt to answer the questions in the box it wont help. Is there some truth to this. What could possibly be on the test different from this guide? I am just going tomorrow to tackle this junk.

    Perhaps what they meant was that in theory the book is good and in a perfect world may be helpful. However, in reality sometimes it may not always be so cut & dry..

    § 383.133 (b) Knowledge tests:(1) States must use the FMCSA pre-approved pool of test questions to develop knowledge tests for each vehicle group and endorsement. ...

    That said the questions are (Required to be) on information contained in the CDL driver's manual but also may include questions requiring one to reach a conclusion based on that information. The questions (In the box) in the manual are not necessarily on any test so just studying the questions will likely leave one lacking.

    Do a search on line and do the on line practice tests. If you can pass those then you can pass the real one. They are very similar. Good luck.

    Don't be scared of it. All you need to do is study some a take the on line practice tests. Master those and you'll do fine.
