Does this sound like you?
The question book never endsHundreds of questions, and it's hard to tell what the test will actually ask.
The wording is trickyQuestions can read as misleading. Weights, hours and brakes start to mix.
Hazard clicks come too earlyYou spot the hazard, but click before it starts to develop and score nothing.
The case studies feel longSeven studies in 75 minutes, and the wording can trip you up.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
Reading it twice doesn't make it stick
Five axles or six, 40 or 44 tonnes? In the question book the weights sit in one long list.
