Don't worry about it, and get some sleep.
There are very few rocket science questions on the test.

The correct answer is generally either 'all of the above' or the longest one.

Because you need twenty five questions out of thirty answered correctly to pass do not answer if you're not sure. Move on and you may not have to go back to the unsure question. As soon as you have twenty five correct the exam stops.

You should be able to “c” the answer.

If you took the course at CCA you will be more than prepared.

It's something like 18 years since I did mine but if it's anything the same it was so easy it was really a joke. If you've taken a course or done any reading it will be no problem. Don't stress over it.

I am sure glad that I never had to do the test, too much stress. When I got my class 3, ages ago, you didn't need your Q to drive with air brakes. Then they changed the rules and grandfathered me my Q, have been driving for over 40 years now. Everything I learned about air brakes I learned underneath the unit repairing so I could get my job done.

Have you done the simulation tests online to practice?

If you don't know the answer you can sometimes skip the question. Read questions very carefully. I noticed questions I got wrong were pretty obvious after I reread them.

If you fail, go back the following day and take it again.

Good luck!
