Detailed description of what you will be asked to do and what you will be scored

In addition to the material found in the free MI
CDL Manual (which is quite boring and confusing - and doesn't have a single
question in it that is asked on the actual tests), the complete Michigan CDL Test Prep package contains a Quick Review for each of the eight written
tests - condensed bulleted items that you really do have to know in order
to pass the actual written tests and we cover the actual CDL (commercial driver's
license) tests with 670 practice multiple-choice test questions (divided up
between the eight tests) in separate study sections complete with blank and
CORRECT answers that cover the whole pool of actual test questions.
