CDL Written Tests, How hard could they be?

These tests cannot be passed without studying. I found this site from a fellow classmate and have also seen it recommended on this site, www.cristcdl.com. It offers free practice tests that are very close to the actual tests. I hope this helps her and to answer your question is she just slow? Noway these questions are written in such a way that common sense and lucky guessing won't cut it.

p.s. you might be walking slow or dinner might be a little slow getting on the table tonite, after she reads your post. lol

 

I think it helps to have some mechanical background. Pre-trips and airbrakes can be tricky if you are not familiar with motor components. Plus, there are people that have trouble with taking the normal driving test! On the hazmat test I think they do throw a few questions in there to make you think.

 

It is common for students to not pass all three test on their first try. This could be due to the amount of study time that they had to prepare themselves as well as the personal stress that an individual has when faced with an actual written test.
The DMV realizes this is common and will allow 3 chances to pass the test. After the 3rd try, the applicant would have to pay another testing fee, in most states.
They also realize this for the CDL field and road test.

Yes! Small world isn't it! Especially once you become a truck driver. How are you guys doing? Kickin Chickin recommended some good sites on the web. Have you decided on a company yet? I forget how Sarah did on her tests, I will have to ask her. I will pm you my email. If you guys need anything don't hesitate! Have fun on this site there is a lot of good info, interesting info, and just plain funny info!

 

Well jmc, there are differences in people. Some folks have no problem at all taking a test, but can't perform worth a #### in the real world. Others are very good at the real world stuff, but freeze up when they take a test.

I think there are only a select few that are blessed to be good with both.

Try to be patient with your lady here. For one thing she IS your lady, and deserves that patience. And you KNOW that she can't be a dummy. After all, she married you, didn't she!

Hey at least your lady is willing to give it a try. I took my wife on one short trip. Bobtail from Saint George, UT to Vegas, hooked a trailer and came home. She climbed out of that tractor and said, "I'll never get in one of these things again." This was not only a VERY short run, but one in which nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Just be glad your wife is willing to try it. Unless, of course, you are wanting to get rid of her!
