2.0 out of 5 stars
Too much fluff; use state manual instead,
By RobertR "RR" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barron's How to Prepare for the CDL, Commercial Driver's License Test, Truck Driver's Test (Paperback)
I started out with the New York state CDL test prep book that you get free from DMV. It seemed a little stodgy with older illustrations. I ordered this book thinking it would be much clearer, better illustrations, and more up-to-date. I was wrong. This book is WAY too much fluff, full of info you don't need to know, overmentions law numbers as if that's important, and is basically a big disappointment. Please, Barron's EDIT this training manual...it's full of inconsistencies and poor writing. I have wasted ~10 precious hours trying to get through this. Now I'm back on the NY manual and, boy is it ever straight-forward. I will probably use the Barron's book for the practice tests, but I'm sorry I ordered it originally and then wasted study time trying to get through it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for Beginner's,
By SPD Law (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Prepare for the CDL: Commercial Driver's License Truck Driver's Test (Barron's CDL Truck Driver's Test) (Paperback)
I have had my CDL for 5 years. If you don't drive for a while, you need refresher training. This book worked great and from what I remember of my original training, this book would have been great for familiarizing beginner's to the entire CDL process. The pre/post tests per chapter help know where your weaknesses are. A lot of the questions were on my original CDL test, so it is up to date. Great job Barron's!
