    Excellent idea; make flash cards with only the correct answer. Wish I had thought of that when I was renewing my hazmat tests.

    You mean questions at the end of a section is what comes in the test?

    On my test, there was no "all of the above" answer like in the practice question. The answers were a) 50 miles, b) 25 miles, and c) I don't remember what it was, but it was obviously not the answer.

    The correct answer was a) 50 miles.

    My manual has three points. 50 miles after the trip, every 3 hours or 150 miles, and after each break. 25 mile is not there.

    Why did you take so many? CLP requires General Knowledge, Brakes, and Combination Vehicles.

    "50 miles after the trip" you would be empty. The trip is over, so nothing to check.

    I knew I wanted the endorsements so just studied for all of them so I could take them all at once. When I get the CDL, I'll already have tanker and doubles/triples endorsements. I would have done hazmat, but can't do that one until after CDL is issued. Tanker and Doubles/Triples are short and easy and much of the content is the same as what you're already studying.

    Yes but this is where most drivers really let their guard down

    Nowhere in my VA manual it says that steering position should be 3 and 9, but the practise test here says so. My manual says that both hands should be on the opposite sides of the steering wheel.
