It saves itself - and unless you've got about two weeks worth of time to sit there straight and not leave, you will have to come back to it. That thing will keep you busy for a long time!

Yes, it its not only going to throw you random review questions, but it also has an algorithm system that can ascertain which questions you are weak on - a real "smart alec" put this thing together with emphasis on the word "smart".
Scott, it takes some time to get through this study guide, the major parts you need to cover for your permit are:
Rules and Regulations
Driving Safely
Transporting Cargo Safely
Air Brakes
Combination Vehicles
Pre-Trip Inspection
Driving Exam
This program is designed to help you learn through repetition, and it works really well. Don't guess at the answers or you will be screwed. Each time it asks you a question it shows you where to find the answer, look at it and then answer the question. You're not cheating - that is how the system is designed to help you learn. It will automatically review you and throw in random questions on the areas that you are demonstrating a weakness in. That is why you don't want to guess - once the system senses that you don't really get something it will lock you out from any further progress until you can demonstrate an understanding of the parts you were messing up on. Make sure and click on all the little purple question marks you see - there is a lot of helpful information in those links.
We strongly recommend you prepare for any endorsements by going through the sections on:
Transporting Passengers
Doubles and Triples
Tankers
Hazardous Materials
And then you will want to make sure you can get a good start on a successful career by conquering the material you will find that is not covered in any states CDL manual, but is vital to your success out there on the road, found in these two special "bonus" sections.

A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.

Combination Vehicle:
A vehicle with two separate parts - the power unit (tractor) and the trailer. Tractor-trailers are considered combination vehicles.
