    Ate these questions multiple choice answers? And how does it work does it allow you to skip and come back to that question or does it just give a whole new question?

    Just want to know ahead of time before I go to the DMV. I'm in Pennsylvania if that matters.

    There's practice tests you can do online for free. Not sure about PA but they were good prep for Illinois.

    Yeah that's not my question I was wondering how the test is done at the DMV on the computer. Is it multiple choice answers or do you have to write in the answer?

    Mine was multiple choice and you could skip some. Not sure about PA though.

    Michigan it was muliple choice and you could skip and come back to the ones you were unsure of.
    The machine keeps track of the ones you get wrong so you know where you are at as far as score as you go along.

    Warning if you studied off this site. Even though the questions are similar as what you study here they are not written the exacte way they are here so they can confuse you so read thru them carefully when testing.
     
    1278PA Thanks this.

    I studied some from here and downloaded a few different apps one called CDL prep. Another question is they have questions about doubles and triples in these practice tests. I don't choose doubles or triples but the questions are in the general knowledge. Do they ask questions for doubles and triples on the test even if you aren't applying for those endorsements?

    I didn't have any on mine. If there was one, I bet it'd only be one... i.e. skippable.
     
    1278PA Thanks this.

    yes they did , but just a few.

    The little bit of extra studying you have to do for tandems and triples endorsement and the tanker endorsement is not that much extra info to remember to earn those while you are testing and each endorsement was only an extra $5.

    i felt the Hazmat was the most information to try to remember for me , but they would not let me test for it because i didnt have a background check for Michigan and for what ever reason the Michigan DMV didn't not recognize or even know what my TWIC card was.
