    I took the CDL test on this site. I don't remember if it was general knowledge, air brakes or combination vehicles but I have found some of the questions are misleading and in my opinion flat out incorrect. Example: The question was "The brake drums are:" A. Located on the ends of the axles. B. Bolted to the wheels. C.Hold the brake shoes D. all of the above.

    Technically the brake drums are NOT bolted to the wheels but rather the HUB as are the wheels. The drums don't HOLD the brakes shoes. The shoes are mounted in the brake assembly which is mounted to the axles. The drums are however located on the end of the axle so I chose answer A. The answer was D. All of the above. I say that's BULL HOCKEY!

    So I reviewed the manual and it states that the wheels ARE bolted to the drums. The braking mechanism is inside the drum. I still say that question was misleading but if the DMV says its so I guess it is!

    Well the tests on this site are very similar to the real tests. Right or wrong it is what it is, if you have a problem you gotta take it up with the DOT or DMV; but I can tell you the practice tests are very much like the real test so the right answer is whatever the ggovernment says is right

    I think that is a compliment to yourself. I noticed the same thing. When you start to know the material so well you know some of the practice test questions are just completely incorrect .... that a good thing. I would just make a mental note print that page and use it a paper study guide while sitting in the DMV waiting for my turn to take the test. It is what it is for free you cannot beat it.
