    My husband passed the General Knowledge & AIr Brakes test.. so he has his CDL permit.. (I understand this lasts 6 months)...he is hanging by a thread at his Work place as they laid off about 12 guys.. only 3 left.. he is one of them but he NEEDS that CDL.. a school bus company will be training him.. we are kinda in a RUSH to get this all finished quickly.. as he'll be the next one to go -if they make any cuts -due to the other 2 men having their CDL.. as it stands they will be keeping these 3 guys but still...

    Do you recommend any particular websites for Practice tests for Passenger and School Bus.. (he doesn't really need these) but since this is who is teaching him. he has no choice but to pick them up..

    He wants to pass both these tests this Tuesday at the DMV.... then only be left with the drivers Part ...sounds like 6 hrs are required on the road for that - in training.. Any advice for us.. we live in PA... Thank you so much !

    If he has the book from your DMV, I recommend just reading the passenger section several times. All the questions on the test will be pull from that section. After he reads it you can take the book and quiz him on the various sections.

    The book is huge.. yes we have it..remembeing everything in there would be pretty difficult if they ask some odd questions. if you take numerous practice tests -knowing the answers.. shouldnt this be suffice.. he is strapped for time as with these 3 men left.. and one is on vacation this week..he is picking up like another 20 hrs on top of his 40.. but really wants to get these 2 tests in on Tuesday. his only day off that the DMV is open.. He feels pressured and rushed.. from what we have read.. much of this is common sense.. so far.. but still...

    I am also playing videos on You tube about this.. but the question is..do some of these answers VARY BY STATE... do we need to make sure that the tests he is taking are applicable to Pennsylvania only ?

    I have a current CDL book I got from Barnes and noble. Attached are the test questions from the passenger test section with the answer key. I hope this help some and stay encouraged.

    You are a tremendous blessing Pilgrim76....thank you for this.. I just copied it & will stick these in his lunch box for work so he has these to go over when he catches a moment..

    He worked another 16 hrs yesterday.. he is dogged tired.. but still he wants to get these tests IN & done this Tuesday.. I am trying to help in little ways to keep this info before his eyes...

    Every little bit helps ! the more you hear it .. the better he will remember it.. THANK YOU AGAIN !

    Done what yet - chrism1367 .. things are rolling along.. he got his Permit last week... passing the Air brakes & general Knowledge... he's been working way too many hours this week. plus we have to wait on the lady who can teach him on the road.. working around her schedule too. I wish he could have it all down in a weeks time. but that isnt' going to happen..

    Got it, I misread and thought he hadn't got permit yet yet, but it's passenger you're trying to get. Good luck. Passenger shouldn't be too hard
