I am studying for the California HazMat endorsement test. I have a few questions that I can’t find the answers to in the manual. The answers I have are what I think they might be. I was wondering if anyone could help me with these questions. I was also wondering how many questions are actually on the California HazMat endorsement test and how many you are allowed to miss. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. And please, no nasty comments like get the manual because I already have 2 of them. Thanks in advance.
