How Do The TT.com Web Site Questions Compare With The Actual DPS Questions?
Topic 2591 | Page 1
I am staring my class at ACC here in Austin Texas next week 2/3. I have started reading the book(CDL Book) then taking the on line tests. I find my self gravitating towards just doing the test and skimming the book for answers. I was reading on the web site, test-guide.com that some have had success and some have not. I noticed a difference in the questions and I was curious of anyone's advice for this particular web sites Q&A's.
When I had to study for my test, I just got a note pad and the CDL booklet from the DMV. and read the required sections. Than I went back and copied the required sections I just had read. I got 100% on General, Air brakes and combo. I am in the process of studying for my (X) Endorsement, which is Combination Hazmat.

How do the TT.com web site questions compare with the actual DPS questions?
Now I've gotta say - we were just talking about this in another conversation yesterday and this absolutely baffles me. I can't understand what on Earth would make people think that the DPS (or DMV or BMV depending on your state) would start sending websites like TruckingTruth the actual questions and answers from their tests????
Tons of people have asked me this - "Are these the actual questions from the test???"
On what planet does an organization hand out the actual questions and answers from a test they'll be administering publicly? Why would they even give the test if they're simply going to give everyone the questions and answers to memorize?
Skimming through the questions and trying to memorize them is not how you learn. You learn by reading the materials and then answering the questions. Once you've answered the questions you make sure you're reviewing them afterward also. That again helps reinforce the materials.
It's all about repetition. Read the materials, look up the answers to the questions, and then review the answers once you've finished the questions. That repetition is what will help you retain the information.

Baffle:

I will also say that study time should be on the High Road Training Program. By far the best study materials out there!
The way it is set up you don't just learn enough to pass the test, you learn it in a way that you will remember months down the road when you may actually need the information to do your job.
I have made several friends through my schooling and orientation. To all the ones that are actually serious about trucking I tell them to get on the study program even though they already have their CDL. Why would I do that? Because the log book and weights & balances sections will help them every day. I learned things through those two sections that no one in any of the other training I have been in has ever even touched on. And some of the things they did touch on I had a better understanding of the rules due to the High Road.
