    Not to boast but I only missed one or 2 including all the the endorsements
    How read the book over and over and over again and then read it again.
    If you read it enough itl get in that head sooner or later.
    But then i too experienced this effect of forgetting everything when it came to the range test I failed the easiest part.
    That made me relax a bit and I aced the road test. lol
    Went bac to school played on the range another week and completed the range test with no troubles.
    Dont worry about it youl pass it just study.
    there's a practice test on another forum I wont link to it here but if you look around youl find it.

    Relax bud, I took the hazmat test and failed miserably.
    So I went home and reread the chapter on hazmat, and went back and only got one wrong.
    So study the book, and do your best!

    After you get your CDL, no one cares how many times you took the learners tests, and no one will care how many times you took the driving test.

    There were 8 people in my CDL class, 6 failed General Knowledge their first time. and I think 3 didn't get it before their 4th try.

    Kinda reminds me of the old joke,
    What do you call a guy who finishes last in his class at medical school?
    Doctor.

    Seriously, don't sweat it. I hope that you are feeling better now that everyone else has posted that they, or someone that they know, didn't pass. The real test is real life. If you can drive well, that is the main thing.

    If 7:30 is too early for beer, try a couple of tokes of weed. LOL

    Well I passed the stupid thing. I dont know how many i missed but i got it out of the way. The trick was i went in there at 930 with a hangover. now the only bad part is i still have the hangover. I'm ready to get started with school and get out on the road. Thanks for all the stories. Me not feel dumb anymore

    Congratulations! And I think Cybergal is right -- better to be a good driver than a good test taker. Good luck with it!
