I was up at the shop yesterday doing some woodwork (hickory stair csse for a friend of mine). I have been studying pretty hard the past couple of days and as the belt sander is running, all of these questions are running through my mind and I'm remembering the answers as I go. Thanks Brett for the advice on studying the information here on T.T.. Doc

Hey, you bet! I'm glad to see things are moving along well for ya. You're 21% of the way through with a 98% average - beautiful! That's the way to do it. Keep working your way through and make sure you look up the answers if you don't know them, which you are obviously doing a great job of.

Repetition is the key to memorizing large amounts of information and our system is well-designed to give you the repetition you need. And we'll give you even more repetition if there are questions or areas you're struggling with. Of course in your case, "struggling" is not a concern with a 98% average but that halt system will still jump up and bite you if you lose focus on even one or two questions, won't it? rofl-3.gif

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, what Doc is studying from is our High Road Training Program. It's a free course we designed to teach you all of the materials in the CDL manual, including everything you'll need for your permit and all of your endorsements.

If you're going to become a truck driver you'll definitely want to complete our course before the beginning of your official schooling and before you take your written tests for the permit and endorsements so check it out! smile.gif

Nice job Doc! I'm moving my way through the program too. Need to get my CDL permit here in the next week or so, and get registered for school next month!
