Best site For anything with wheels.
Driving-tests.org has been my go to site for all of my CDL test and I have passed the first time. I have used this site for my CDL class A permit, Tanker & Hazmat DMV exams. would not study anywhere else. I also used it to get my motorcycle endorsment.

I was the only one that passed the CDL out of 7 people.
I was the only one that passed the CDL A air brakes, general and combination test today out of 7 people. But I also passed the tanker and Double/triples test.I got 3 wrong. I credit this program to my success. I focused on the tests in the program. I loved the ability to flag 1 that I got right and could be grilled on it again plus having the ones I failed be put aside to do till I got then correct.

A much better way to learn.
Update: Took the exam. Passed the 1st time. 68 of 70 questions correct. This test prep works. I found absorbing the information in the CDL manual difficult. I could memorize the information but I wasn't learning how to apply it. It was like drinking from a fire hose. This format separates the signal from the noise. Now, I much better understand how to use and apply the information for both the CLP test and also as a professional driver. You still have to read the manual. This site helps you to learn what you're reading.

Easy to pass hazmat tests.
Good way to learn and retain hazmat laws and safety I had retired 2 years took this training and quickly passed with 100%.

This site is awesome.
I passed my permit test today, flawlessly thanks to this site. I took my time and went through all of the many practice tests that they had and just like that, I have my cdl permit in hand. Thank you so much for this site.

A must to save time and money!
Studied for about 20 hours on my own for about 4 days for the class A CDL permit test. I failed General Knowledge and Air brakes on Monday. Was pretty flustered since I studied for a week. Bought this program on Monday night and took the test again Wednesday morning and passed easily. Was surprised how many of the same worded questions that are on driving-tests.org were on the official dmv test. Looking forward to using this for my endorsements. With Covid 19 and the long wait times. This course is a must if you can't afford or have the time to waste going to the dmv multiple days to retake tests.
TL
Fantastic program!
I did the 7 day (hazmat only) version and only had 3 days to prepare for the test. This helped me pass with only 1 wrong answer. This version does touch on a lot of tanker questions too so if you pay attention, you'll be able to pass both tests easily! I will Absolutely refer any CDL-A drivers wanting to get their hazmat endorsement to this program.

VI walked out of the exam room with confidence and wound up passing the written exam and endorsements with the maximum 80 percent test score.
I couldn't have been any happier with the curriculum, user experience, and friendly customer service at driving-tests.org. What's more, the gamification, study plan and progression, the "passing probability" function, the multiplicity of tests for the various CDL endorsements, and presentation of the material were all on the mark. As a result of my online preparations through driving-tests.org, I sped through the DMV tests for general knowledge, combination vehicle, air brakes, and tanker.

Great course.
It’s a real simple and easy to navigate through the course. I’m impressed with the thorough video and the way the test are setup. I highly recommend this course to anyone trying to get there hazmat endorsement. The price is so affordable especially with all the other fees I have paid getting my CDL.
D
It's excellent!
I studied my CDL book for two weeks and used driving-tests.org to brush up. Within two days my passing probability came up to 74% so I took the test and passed first time. I missed 4 on general, 3 on passenger, 2 on air brake and it took only 58 min for all 3 sections. That was because I was already familiar enough with those questions on the test. I probably wouldn't have passed if I didn't use Driving-Test.org. Thank you so much!
