"i was skeptical at first since i already took the actual NATMI courses and figured id just wing the exam. ended up using cdsquiz.com anyway and the mistake review feature caught alot of gaps in my hours of service knowledge. glad i didnt skip it, wouldve bombed that part for sure"

"studied for maybe two weeks total, nights only. the hiring and driver retention questions kept showing up in different forms which helped it actually stick instead of just memorizing answers. passed on first try, relieved more than anything"
