Thanks for all the info, Eric. The new format definitely throws a wrench into things because all of the practice tests I have from the old C are in the vignette format. I wonder if there will be multiple choice items on turning radii for trucks vs. cars, etc. I already passed C but since I did not pass D I have to now take 3. Not fun. I will post…[Read more]
