Stop wasting time complaining about the examiner. His/her job is to examine what you are doing & you didn't pass. Listing the excuses you failed is wasting time. Learn the pre-trip material backwards & forwards so you can't fail the next attempt. Your message is a bit chaotic & hard to understand. Focus on one thing at a time.

That is the newest version called the "Modernized CDL Skills Test". As a CDL instructor and former third party examiner I think it is a load of B.S., and yes, they will fail you if you don't do only the parts they ask for. I used to teach my students more is better and name off everything possible but now in more than half the States they only want exactly what is on the cheat sheet. The concept, get this, is to speed up the testing and get the automatic failures such as air brakes out of the way first in an effort to allow more examiners to process more tests, but they still block off the full length of time for each test so nothing is being expedited or improved except the pass rate of marginal students.
We went to that process here in Pennsylvania in August 2023 and overnight it switched form the normal way to the must use the cheat sheet and do only the exact sections of the truck the examiner asks for. Makes me glad I gave up my third party examiner credentials as I couldn't, in goof faith, certify a driver was qualified based on the latest version of the CDL exam today.Rugerfan, gentleroger, firemedic2816 and 2 others Thank this. -
