I'm living proof, never looked at a practiced test....got 100

I did because I paid for it 2 years before they even gave the exams out

Oh not mention I only went to it twice.. That studying course was so stupid and not worth it. But like I said it was paid already.

The only prep I did was a large coffee before I drove myself to the test that morning

Thanks for the info guys and yeah I've heard alot of people just went in and took it,I guess next time I'll just do that. I remember when I took the track worker exam in 2013 I studied the Track Worker book from the company called Passbooks, scored a 90 list number in the low 5000s and there's about 12,000 people on that list that qualify. But I learned my lesson, I'll just read the question carefully,take all the time and triple check.

I studied Sanitation Worker by Angelo Tropea and the other one was by PassBooks. Angelo Tropea's had a lot of errors but to me was very similiar to the exam and passbooks was ok,just your basic reading comprehension.

Yeah I blame myself for not doing those simple important things but I have my CDL B license which is keeping me employed. I'm grateful for that because all those new rules they got in place for obtaining it in 2016 and on is ridiculous.
