Default Need CDL Holders Help

I'm going to get my Class A permit in a week or two and was wondering if there was anything I should study more than anything else. I was also wondering if anyone could give me some tips in studying/taking the test.

The permit is extremely easy, its mostly common sense kind of stuff.

I used this place to practice and found most of the questions identical to the tests.

Hey thanks for the help. I was getting the impression that it was common sense stuff but wasn't sure so I thought I would ask.
