Hey there mamabird. I'm guessing it was the written exams? As big scott linked, the testing tools on this site are great and are as they may appear on the real written exams. They are great for practicing taking the real test and testing your knowledge. Sometimes the questions try to trick you on the real test and on the website pre-tests. Really have to pay attention to the verbiage. I like to read the question, all of the answers, then read the question again in case I read it wrong the first time. Sometimes even the answers will appear to be the correct one but one word isn't right, so it will be wrong. I don't think there are any answers that will have two that are correct like "one answer is a better answer than another". If you end up with 2 or more answers that would be correct, re-read the question because they may have slipped in verbiage like "which of these is not..." or the like.
I recently was reviewing the regular drivers license tests online from the DMV with my daughter (14) and there was one question where it showed a photo with lables A, B, and C. but in the multiple choice answers it was like this:
Which example above is correct? A)B B)C C)A D)None of the above
We both picked the answer too fast and it was too late! Got it wrong he he.
Good luck! Keep your head up :D This is not the end of the road. Just a speed bump.

I arrived back in Houston yesterday from a SWIFT driving academy....I got good scores on all my tests with the exception of one. "AIRBRAKES" I had studied and practiced everyday,but each time I tested I failed it.I had rather it be with an instructor than at the DPS. During my stay I took sick and had to come home then return,then I was sent home yesterday I am so very disappointed in myself.Gotta find other options
