Get the hand out from your state DMV Re; Hazmat. Learn just what you need to to pass the test and nothing more! Most of it's common sense and if you read into it to far you'll screw yourself. If ya need it for a job then learn more about it, till then work on your driving

If they train you properly, it is almost a fluke to fail. You should have enough time in the truck to pass the skills test rather easily. Students fail themselves on these tests usually by getting a case of the nerves and duffing something that they KNOW and have practiced several times. Your primary goal right now should be finding employment using the school / training company as the key. Employers are looking for people who can see out of the truck, keep a truck in a lane, make a safe and legal right and left turn, have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of backing. They will however not even look at you if your choice of training schools does not meet their insurance carriers minimum standards.. good luck
