HAZ MAT hard to pass ?

Most of the companies I have looked at want HAZ MAT.

How hard is the test for a student to pass, what are some tips you pro's can give that will help a new driver get up to speed ??

Can a moron pass these tests or do you really have to study to get your HAZ MAT ?

I would apply yourself and take the test , study so you know the info.
It is critical information and you are responsible for safely transporting a
product or multiple products that can kill you and masses of people if you
make a serious mistake. Do not take this lightly , study your information and
know what to do. Here is a link or two for you Sir.

The real test i believe is 30 questions and you have to get 27 out of 30 right to pass. Good Luck

avc,
I just took it on Friday. I studied as much as I did for any of the endorsements and I was glad I did. I was well prepared, and had no problems passing it, but there was another taking it at the same time and he failed quickly. It was based soley on the study guide, but the wording was tricky. Read the questions, then re read as they were worded as to catch you off guard.
I was relieved for the first time ever when I was being fingerprinted lol
