The trucking industry lost alot of professional drivers when they came out with the CDL.The reason being alot of the drivers didn't feel that they had the education to read and pass the written test. I was one of them but I didn't give up. I took the test and passed everything a year before the CDL became law. I already had a CLASS 5 Ga. license which I had gotten in 73. I had a good friend who was an owner operator who got out of trucking because he couldn't read. When his wife wasn't with him he always had someone with him who could read. When it came to driving he was one of the BEST. I retired from trucking about 10 years ago. I drove OTR for 40 years. I drove my first truck a B-61 Mack in 65 with a quad transmission. You drivers keep the sunny side up and may the wind be at your back. Stay safe.
Your friends how did he got his CDL license when he can’t read ? Cuz I didn’t went to school so I don’t know how to read a lot but I want get my CDL because I need a better job can you help me ?
Bryan Camacho the truth is I don't really know. I believe he had Ga. Class 5 and was grandfathered in. Back in the day it wasn't all that hard to get qualified. If i remember correctly you could qualify your self stating you had X amount of miles driving. CLASS 5 license changed to Chauffeurs license and then CDL. When I said my friend couldn't read what I should have said was he was a slow reader and just had trouble reading. He was a helluva driver though .
I finally passed on my 3rd try. I studied , did the practice test BUT the questions are switched up and some questions pops up that you never had studied before. GOODLUCK EVERYYONE 🥰
Congrat!.. are you allowed to take one test at a time?? For example: take General Knowledge today and Airbrakes the next day and the Combination after that?
Went yesterday passed six test in lest than an hour and definitely made use of that skip button on about 4 questions the key is just study it’s a breeze if u do
I’m a lady, and because of you and a couple other teachers who explain parts of the truck, you all made it easy to visualize the parts of the truck while doing my exam. That being said, i took all 3 tests in one sitting after studying for about 12 hours. Will go back for my endorsements when I’m ready, and already studying my pre-trip. I start school next week. Thank you so much. You’re amazing!
Hello Sweetie. Miss Wylie Dee here. Curious Did you get your CDL A license and working now.?? Best wishes. MY CDL expired last year and Now I have to retest on everything! (No Grandfather clause with this new testing requirements. Had CDL A Since 1989 or 1990 since CDL started ! The ELD will be a new thing for me; hope I can get it figured out..... sounds to me like it will be better than Paper LOGS THOUGH!. Best wishes....Wylie Dee.....
BEST ADVICE EVER !!!! FAILED TWICE DIDNT STUDY IN MONTHS WAS READY TO GIVE UP . I WATCHED THIS AND WENT THE NEXT MORNING TO TAKE TEST AND PASSED WITH 10 INCORRECT OUT OF 50 !! THANKS FOR THE TIP !! BIGGEST HELP EVER !
I took the test today and failed because I study wrong app information but they said I can come back tomorrow but this my first time watching your video I'm try that thanks.
took mine yesterday, plus tanker and dbl/trpl and passed; all in same day; and yes, I took general knowledge first, then went to car and reread tanker and dbl/trpl. I skipped through all I wasn't sure. Worked like a charm!
When I took the general knowledge, air brakes, combination, tanker and HAZMAT tests in 1992, I took all in one shot and passed the first try, I have family members who are and were (retired) truck drivers so I picked up the knowledge from them about driving trucks soon after I graduated from high school, not everyone will catch on quick some will.
I wish to thank you greatly for creating and uploading these videos. Today I passed my class a gen knowledge, combos, triples endorsement, manual Trans, and air brakes exams and got my clp in California. I studied my ass~off on the handbook for 5 days/nights straight, but without your videos, which I also watched repeatedly, I know it would've taken multiple attempts to pass the exams. I did all 5 exams straight through without any breaks between and scored in the 90% range on every exam! Thank you thank you thank you! To anyone considering applying for their CDL, whatever the class may be, *LISTEN TO THIS MAN, watch his videos over as many times as needed and YOU WILL INCREASE AND AQUIRE THE UNDERSTANDING necessary to pass your exams confidently* !!! Good luck to you! , and thanks again. ..
@@angelsilva7287 It gives you a choice which you want to take first. There is 3 sections, General Knowledge, Combination, Air Brakes. + endorsements is optional. You fail one section 3x you have to take all 3 exams all over and pay again to start application again. Study hard and good luck.

got my cdl in maine today. happy to be on the other side now. this video is right on about skipping. embrace the suck guys, youll get it soon! one day at a time
Just passed. Hang in there you'll get it. Great videos, his stuff a ton of help watch all of them three times. The first time you drive test. You fail it, but the guy will tell you every single thing you did wrong. On the second try, you know Exactly what they are looking for in the test.
This is what I did i took all of them test one at a time one per day 😅 And it works👍 always get a good night's sleep and study before you go to sleep and in the morning study again this workout for me 👍 Maybe this can help someone out there. God is Good 🙏😇
Really want to pass this test,I have a family and I really want to do trucking. Warehouse money is DEFINITELY NOT gonna pay my bills and take care of my family. Test on Monday. Will update if I pass or not🤘🏼
I want to thank you for making you tube! I been watching from last 4 months and I passed my test to get permit and I watched air break test and all and got my cdl🥰! Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
This was a really inspiring video. I am just starting to read the cdl manual. I had to refocus my thoughts about this studying, with all there is to know I was stressing "how can I learn all this And pass the test" I told myself , my plan is to read the manual at least 3 times. The first time is to read it with intent of Listening, and trying to Understand. The second time , I will be more familiar with the content, so I will read it with intent of Understanding, Learning & comprehending. The third time I will be reading it with intent of passing the test, and if need be I repeat all 3 processes especially the last one until I have it clear in my head. Nevertheless, I felt a breath of relief to know I will have a skip/pass for questions I am not overly confident in answering. Thank you for the video. I believe I just lowered some of my stress level.
This was great advice. Luckily we have a skip button in Hawaii. I got my Class A permit with 3 endorsements. You have to pass the General Knowledge before you can move on to the next tests. I took General Knowledge, Combination Vehicles, AirBrakes, Tankers, Double/Triples, & Hazardous Materials. All in that order. I’ll be attending a trucking school next month. Thank You!
How did you take Hazmat test in the same day as General Knowledge? Don’t you have to do a TSA background check and have your full blown CLass A license first?
I am 73 and retired CDL driver. I have not driven a truck in nearly 25 years and let my CDL go . Really dumb move. I am studying now and these tips rocked. Failing is a let down for anyone. I do not like doing this but miss driving and so many jobs here in Hawaii that require a CDL. Good luck to you new drivers. I loved my jobs and I hope you all love trucking as much as I did. Aloha from Big Island Hawaii.
I really appreciate your kind words and support. It means a lot to me. Keep pushing forward with your studies and I'm sure you'll find a CDL job that brings you joy. Best of luck to you!
Im glad i saw this video.. i just took the test two weeks ago an failed because i did not pay attention to the skip question part 🤦♂️ thank you for this information
@@youraveragejoe2 I passed after I used the technique in this video which worked very very well.. skip the ones you don't know an answer the ones you do know and I passed with 3 wrong answers
I literally just took my cdl permit test I'm in Georgia I passed all 3 phases in maybe 30 mins General knowledge Combinations and Air brakes unfortunately it wasn't a skip button for me I could have used it for a few of those General Knowledge questions but hey I passed but literally get the CDL PREP app and just study I promise you 90% or more of the test were the same exact questions. Good luck
I'm in dallas and what worked for me was that I didnt over work my self. I didnt study day after day after day. I gave my self time to relax and refresh my mind. I passed all of them the first time but i did not do a written part of the exam at all. They were all in the computer and each test is timed you dont have forever on the test. I recommend is to do them all if you can, that way if you fail one atleast you know what you need to focus on to pass that one test. I believe there are 2 to 3 variations of each test so do study because chances are there are things not on the notebook they gave you to study. Also I downloaded (cdl practice test 2019 edition) that really helped me out. Check it out if your trying to get your permit I recommend that app for anybody. GOOD LUCK!!
Good advice on skipping. With Covid you can't get back in line. If you leave, you have to make another appointment to start from the beginning. Appointments are booked 2 weeks out where I live.
Going in tomorrow for my class B. Been driving straight single axles for year but I need a class B to drive tandems so I can get a promotion. Love this channel for brushing up on knowledge
In MD, it does not work this exact way. You have to make an appt, and you cannot take a break in between exams. Also, if you fail, you can come back the next day, so long as you make an appt.
Just took the test and these are some things you should know. 1. You will be asked to turn off and put away your cellphone. If your cellphone is heard, seen, or in use during testing, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN AUTOMATIC FAILURE! 2. There are multiple versions of the test: Test A, Test B, Test C, ect, so cheating is virtually impossible. Focus on the basics. You should practice signs, laws, DMV and GDL process, along with penalties. 3. You will not lose points for skipping a question: You will see all skipped questions after answering the questions you do know. If you're unsure about a question, skip and come back later. There is never any reason for guessing!! If you're unsure, eliminate choices you know are not correct. DO NOT RUSH THE TEST. You have an entire hour to complete it. 3. Answer the questions you know for sure first. Don't waste time on one specific question. If you're ever unsure, remember to skip! You only need to get 40 questions correct out of a 50 question test. 4. Remember everyone, I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, in this test you only need to get 40 questions correct. Do not overthink questions YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO. You're guaranteed to not know at least one or two questions on the test, so minimizing the amount of questions you need to get to correct to past is essential. Skip on questions you do not know and return to those later. Use the process of elimation to get these answers. If you do these steps, CONGRATS, YOU JUST PAST.
I’m like we have TH-cam and videos with ch like this one that can really ease your mind and give you pointers on to successful pass this section and other. Took the 50 question test today and only missed 4. The skip button does wonders. Good luck to future test takers you’ll do great.
Took me 3 times to pass general knowledge by the third time I did it different. I took general knowledge went home next day came back took the other test instead of taking all at once. I'm in new York if you fail the test you don't have to wait a week to re test go back the next day
You must pass a Dr. Physical and get a certificate. California DMV CDL Class A license and testing fee is $78. It's 3 Tests plus you must retest for anything you already have a license for, if you haven't tested within 6 months (car, motorcycle, bus, etc) In California there is a cap to the number of skips. I believe it's 3 per test. You can only pause the test once per day and you must finish it, that same day.
Alejandro Ramirez can you only take the General knowledge one day and return the next day. Or is the is the $78 fee going to apply again? And do you have to get a physical first then try to pass your test or it doesn’t matter ?
I watched the TH-cam video for the hazmat while I was in line at the DMV, when I got to the counter I went in my cube, answered the EXACT same questions I just listened to and passed the test in 17 minutes tops. I was in and out like that. I recommend looking up all the videos on TH-cam and learning from there. It’s way easier than studying random sections in a book
I took the written test today. I was prepared to skip the questions that I did not know. I studied the manual to prepare.There were about 20 question. To pass I needed 16 correct. I skipped a few but there was a very slim chance for error. I was nervous because I was confident that I would know all the answers and that really changed the plan. I did pass today and i'm looking forward to receiving my class A. Great video. Thank you for all of your help. 😎
This can be very helpful unless you live in California, you don't have unlimited skip, you only have 3, and the test is timed. Everything else is true. Love your videos and great advice.
I can already tell from two seconds into the video that this is going to be some crap like telling you to study the manual for literally 5 minutes edit: Damn i was wrong, this is actually kinda helpful in some spots!
Omg THANK YOU. I listened to your suggestions on how to test. I passed all 3 of them ione after another from Florida to become a bus driver for Disney. I skipped like youou
It is i used the CDL book and videos it was a great help for me i studied my ass off and reached out to the company that I applied to they were great support
Took mine a few weeks ago in VA. Letting yall know that you have to take the entire test and hit submit. It doesn't tell you how many you have right or wrong anymore until you hit submit. This could be specific to va and a very recent change. The skip button tactic does still help though.
@@roseweikle3931 I actually start school in Richmond in about a week I didn't realize I could have gotten my learners from the school. I'm told the only difference is ill get more road time because I won't need as much classroom time.
@@XPraterX nice didn't know that. I knew we had to have 160 hours of schooling including the driving in that. Our school allows you take the test two times after that you gotta go dmv. But there backed up from heck shew. Its Jan here to find an appointment. I wish you good luck man.
Jonathan, thank you for you information. I watched your videos and did practice test on e Permit. I was able to pass on the first time. The only thing you should update is that in Ga you can’t skip question.
I’m In California I was supposed to take the test today for the permit but it was real close to closing time so they asked me to come back tomorrow, even better , I’ll refresh my memory bank ! I dint take school no nothing just grabbed that commercial study book that they offer for free at the dmv and it pretty much has all the answers they’re 100% air brakes and all ! 🤟🏼🙏😎🤞

@@onewayroy5012 wow I dint know that... I thought I needed school to pass it lmao that’s what the school is for ... why go to school if you already passed ... but yeah I passed it without school.

Studied for my 3 cdl permit tests hard for 6 days and passed combination perfect score, missed 1 on air brakes and missed 8 on general knowledge but still passed on my first attempt. My advice, study hard for the air and combination, take the general knowledge last, but still attempt it. It takes maybe 30 mins for all 3 tests. I only passed because I was very lucky to get questions I knew. Btw here in Tennessee there is no option to skip questions.
This is a greatttt tip I wouldnt have thought to skip to my advantage honestly I was relying on all my studying ive been doing but ill keep that in mind.
Use epermit to study. Passed the first time testing after using epermit. Took the practice tests on epermit for two days and then took CDL test. epermit is where it’s at folks. You can choose your state.
I passed my general knowledge the 1st time!! Thanks for your advice to skip the ones you don't feel 100% on and it worked! Thank u from Westly Chapel FL. I wish I lived where your at to attend your school!
Texas ,you have to take 4 tests.Special Requirements .General knowledge, combination vehicles,and air breaks. Same you have to pass them in order But if you fail you can retest in 24 hours .Studying is key, the more prepared you are the better the chances of passing on the first shot. Like I did , but I studied for a solid 6 weeks before hand.

I did that skip option, it was great. When i took my class d driving permit. I was allowed to get 5 wrong out of 25 questions i believe it was.
I literally just took my cdl permit test I'm in Georgia I passed all 3 phases in maybe 30 mins General knowledge Combinations and Air brakes unfortunately it wasn't a skip button for me I could have used it for a few of those General Knowledge questions but hey I passed but literally get the CDL PREP app and just study I promise you 90% or more of the test were the same exact questions. Good luck
Can you tell me which cdl app to get there is several
@@graceleigh966 cdl prep the one its blue with a steering wheel
At our DMV you can take your CDL test twice a day everyday it’s $15 and you don’t have to keep repaying
Raven Plowden What?!In NC that shit is 40 dollars
Ari Reid 😲
Raven Plowden once a day and you only have 3 tries after that another 40
Ari Reid wow 😳 that's crazy
Raven Plowden i know tell me about it
I'm in dallas and what worked for me was that I didnt over work my self. I didnt study day after day after day. I gave my self time to relax and refresh my mind. I passed all of them the first time but i did not do a written part of the exam at all. They were all in the computer and each test is timed you dont have forever on the test. I recommend is to do them all if you can, that way if you fail one atleast you know what you need to focus on to pass that one test. I believe there are 2 to 3 variations of each test so do study because chances are there are things not on the notebook they gave you to study. Also I downloaded (cdl practice test 2019 edition) that really helped me out. Check it out if your trying to get your permit I recommend that app for anybody. GOOD LUCK!!
Thats great
Came across this video and used the information you provided to pass the permit test on my first try. The skip a question tip is gold! Thanks so much.
Good advice on skipping. With Covid you can't get back in line. If you leave, you have to make another appointment to start from the beginning. Appointments are booked 2 weeks out where I live.
Going in tomorrow for my class B. Been driving straight single axles for year but I need a class B to drive tandems so I can get a promotion. Love this channel for brushing up on knowledge
How'd you do?
Skipping the questions is gonna help me massively such a simple tip helps so much thanks for this video🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
In MD, it does not work this exact way. You have to make an appt, and you cannot take a break in between exams. Also, if you fail, you can come back the next day, so long as you make an appt.
Just took the test and these are some things you should know.
1. You will be asked to turn off and put away your cellphone. If your cellphone is heard, seen, or in use during testing, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN AUTOMATIC FAILURE!
2. There are multiple versions of the test: Test A, Test B, Test C, ect, so cheating is virtually impossible. Focus on the basics. You should practice signs, laws, DMV and GDL process, along with penalties.
3. You will not lose points for skipping a question: You will see all skipped questions after answering the questions you do know. If you're unsure about a question, skip and come back later. There is never any reason for guessing!! If you're unsure, eliminate choices you know are not correct. DO NOT RUSH THE TEST. You have an entire hour to complete it.
3. Answer the questions you know for sure first. Don't waste time on one specific question. If you're ever unsure, remember to skip! You only need to get 40 questions correct out of a 50 question test.
4. Remember everyone, I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, in this test you only need to get 40 questions correct. Do not overthink questions YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO. You're guaranteed to not know at least one or two questions on the test, so minimizing the amount of questions you need to get to correct to past is essential. Skip on questions you do not know and return to those later. Use the process of elimation to get these answers. If you do these steps, CONGRATS, YOU JUST PAST.
I just passed my test today CDL writing test knowledge I’m so happy
Congrats Doina!
What is the cdl written test?
Hello, depending on the class you are going for, they are General Knowledge, Air Brakes, Combination (Class A) or Passenger (Class B)
Thought it was on computer
This video helped me pass my test for my permit. Thank you 😊
CLP ?
I’m like we have TH-cam and videos with ch like this one that can really ease your mind and give you pointers on to successful pass this section and other. Took the 50 question test today and only missed 4. The skip button does wonders. Good luck to future test takers you’ll do great.
Took me 3 times to pass general knowledge by the third time I did it different. I took general knowledge went home next day came back took the other test instead of taking all at once. I'm in new York if you fail the test you don't have to wait a week to re test go back the next day
That classroom is spotless.
God Bless you and your team thank you for your advice 🙏 from Texas I pray to God I pass the test 🙏
I watched your videos and I Aced the in and out inspections & driving on the first try. Thank you posting these videos.
Happy to help, David. Congrats on passing!
You must pass a Dr. Physical and get a certificate. California DMV CDL Class A license and testing fee is $78. It's 3 Tests plus you must retest for anything you already have a license for, if you haven't tested within 6 months (car, motorcycle, bus, etc) In California there is a cap to the number of skips. I believe it's 3 per test. You can only pause the test once per day and you must finish it, that same day.
Alejandro Ramirez can you only take the General knowledge one day and return the next day. Or is the is the $78 fee going to apply again? And do you have to get a physical first then try to pass your test or it doesn’t matter ?
Wow. I'm on my way to getting my CDL permit next week I can't wait to start driving
I watched the TH-cam video for the hazmat while I was in line at the DMV, when I got to the counter I went in my cube, answered the EXACT same questions I just listened to and passed the test in 17 minutes tops. I was in and out like that. I recommend looking up all the videos on TH-cam and learning from there. It’s way easier than studying random sections in a book
Congrats Travis, we are glad to hear you passed!
Driving Academy | Car and CDL Truck Driving School Hahahahaha Thanks of course I’ve been driving 30 years LOL
I took the written test today. I was prepared to skip the questions that I did not know. I studied the manual to prepare.There were about 20 question. To pass I needed 16 correct. I skipped a few but there was a very slim chance for error. I was nervous because I was confident that I would know all the answers and that really changed the plan. I did pass today and i'm looking forward to receiving my class A. Great video. Thank you for all of your help. 😎
Great =)
This can be very helpful unless you live in California, you don't have unlimited skip, you only have 3, and the test is timed. Everything else is true. Love your videos and great advice.
Thanks for the info and for your support!
I take mines Monday fingers crossed!!
Nope, just took the permit test last week. There is no skip button...
what state
nina somerville Tennessee
Some states are different
This guy knows his shit. That skip button is LITTY
I can already tell from two seconds into the video that this is going to be some crap like telling you to study the manual for literally 5 minutes
edit: Damn i was wrong, this is actually kinda helpful in some spots!
I hade my dls for 7 years got it when i was 17 good luck guys
How did you get it at 17?? arent you supposed to be 18?
He's cappin
U can get it at 17 depends on your state lol capping about a dls lol i got my cdl so nothing to cap about lol
Thank you so much for nice tips... it was really helpful for my cdl permit test....
You are so cool...
Thanks for your tips I just passed all the 3 exams in one day and I got my permit.
Omg THANK YOU. I listened to your suggestions on how to test. I passed all 3 of them ione after another from Florida to become a bus driver for Disney. I skipped like youou
Great job! Thanks for watching, Dawn, and congrats on passing!
In Indiana I had to take all the tests before I could even get my permit
I thought that was everywhere you have to pass the 3 tests before you can get your permit
It is i used the CDL book and videos it was a great help for me i studied my ass off and reached out to the company that I applied to they were great support
Took mine a few weeks ago in VA. Letting yall know that you have to take the entire test and hit submit. It doesn't tell you how many you have right or wrong anymore until you hit submit. This could be specific to va and a very recent change. The skip button tactic does still help though.
Thanks
@@roseweikle3931 yea man it was definitely nerve wracking going in expecting one way and it being different.
Are you driving for anyone? Im currently going cds in roanoke
@@roseweikle3931 I actually start school in Richmond in about a week I didn't realize I could have gotten my learners from the school. I'm told the only difference is ill get more road time because I won't need as much classroom time.
@@XPraterX nice didn't know that. I knew we had to have 160 hours of schooling including the driving in that. Our school allows you take the test two times after that you gotta go dmv. But there backed up from heck shew. Its Jan here to find an appointment. I wish you good luck man.
I haven’t studied much because I’m such a bad procrastinator and I take the text tomorrow. I’ve been watching this at work
Jonathan, thank you for you information. I watched your videos and did practice test on e Permit. I was able to pass on the first time. The only thing you should update is that in Ga you can’t skip question.
I must pass this so I can go to monster jam so this is gonna be my tip to be able to compete
Hey Freddy, we can GUARANTEE that you pass. Give us a call at 908.525.3609!
Did you pass and get to go to monster jam? How’s life been with your cdl if so?
Pass my CDL Test in NJ for the Second Time.
Just took my permit test last month in GA. No Skip Button!!
I’m In California I was supposed to take the test today for the permit but it was real close to closing time so they asked me to come back tomorrow, even better , I’ll refresh my memory bank ! I dint take school no nothing just grabbed that commercial study book that they offer for free at the dmv and it pretty much has all the answers they’re 100% air brakes and all !
🤟🏼🙏😎🤞
Did you pass , I live in California too , picked up the book at the dmv today bout to study and try and take the test on Monday . Lmk if you have any tips for me haha
@@onewayroy5012 did you go to truck driving school ?
@@emmmslife1226 they said I have to get my permit before I join the school .
@@onewayroy5012 wow I dint know that... I thought I needed school to pass it lmao that’s what the school is for ... why go to school if you already passed ... but yeah I passed it without school. The book tells you everything you need to know , even for the cab inspections. I nvr took driving school. I watched a few videos before going into the dmv.
@@onewayroy5012 th-cam.com/video/37KjhdJP0FI/w-d-xo.html this link here will help you. It helped me , he’s old school but man he simplify it just watch it a couple times and see his other videos you’ll be good bro !
I'm cramming for a month before I go in so it's like i was born to drive a truck
Thanks for the advice. The skipping technique should really help me out. Thanks a lot !!!
Great im glad
Studied for my 3 cdl permit tests hard for 6 days and passed combination perfect score, missed 1 on air brakes and missed 8 on general knowledge but still passed on my first attempt. My advice, study hard for the air and combination, take the general knowledge last, but still attempt it. It takes maybe 30 mins for all 3 tests. I only passed because I was very lucky to get questions I knew.
Btw here in Tennessee there is no option to skip questions.
This is a greatttt tip I wouldnt have thought to skip to my advantage honestly I was relying on all my studying ive been doing but ill keep that in mind.
Special requirements first test in Texas
Yes, also not sure if we even have the skip button
Don’t expect to be able to skip questions in Georgia
Use epermit to study. Passed the first time testing after using epermit. Took the practice tests on epermit for two days and then took CDL test. epermit is where it’s at folks. You can choose your state.
Driving Academy is the best CDL school
Thank You
I failed 21 times I finally passed
Congrats
Congratulations
Congratulations ‼
Omg now I'm scared to even get this job that says they give 9 months to get it. Fug
Congratulations!!!
you only have to wait 24hr to re-take the test in Michigan.
Is it free
I’m in cdl school I can’t pass the general knowledge for the life of me man
I passed my general knowledge the 1st time!! Thanks for your advice to skip the ones you don't feel 100% on and it worked! Thank u from Westly Chapel FL. I wish I lived where your at to attend your school!
I'm in Gainesville. Any other tips or study guides you found helpful?
This was EXCELLENT thank you!
Our DMV we don't have a skip button. I have taken the general knowledge test 3 x's already and failed
Hey Shana, let us know if we can help you out! Good luck!
You gotta study a lot don’t give up, you can do it!
WOW ! Thanks a lot for important information on the CLP test !!
Texas ,you have to take 4 tests.Special Requirements .General knowledge, combination vehicles,and air breaks. Same you have to pass them in order
But if you fail you can retest in 24 hours .Studying is key, the more prepared you are the better the chances of passing on the first shot. Like I did , but I studied for a solid 6 weeks before hand.
I go in Friday 1/29/2021, been studying for the past 4 weeks, my question is how many questions for each section or is it mixed?
@@filishamoore8375 How was it? u passed?
Thank you for that great advice.
Thanks for the help sir this is very important information
No problem Yusuf, happy to help!
Great tip to skip!. But in N.C. can't break and get back in line during COVID. Step outside and you must schedule next appointment 7+ weeks out.
Yes if you don't know it skip then come back them it helps
General knowledge 120 questions for me lol
Yeesh! Which state?
@@CDLDrivingAcademy NY . 😑
Great tips and advise, thanks a lot for this interesting video.
Anytime!!!
Awesome video....going for my CDL....already studying and watching videos....... 🙏
Skipping is a good idea as future questions you know may give indicators to ones you skip or help jog your memory.
All dmv dont have skip option
That is very good tip n trick. Man u r really ..cool. I can only say thank u.
Thank you for the info🙏
I did exactly what you said and it helps me to get my permit
Thanks for watching, Lachhi! We're glad our videos could help you in your CDL process!b
Great advice ty, I’m in FL preparing for my permit.
Do you know if this is the same for California? The skip option
Thanks for the videos and help you are doing Good work and deserve the pay ..
Now to get Class B's, do you just take the general knowledge test and the air brakes? Getting it for driving a dump truck
yes no combinations for Class B but might as well go for A dont limit yourself
Do you have your class b license?
