These are all requirements now. You can fail 10 on the 50 question test.
And 5 on the other's.
Plus, the driving test...A 45* back up test. A 100 foot straight backing test. A reverse parallel test. Yes, backing up to do a parallel park. of which 99% of all CDL truckers will never do in 30 years of driving.

There are 14 instant reasons why the DOT examiner will fail you. Thus, you must know what to state and when to state it.
Of which fewer than 20 % of all drivers will remeber in a week after the test.
Here are sample test:
