My trucking school only had me with an instructor for 4 days

I don’t think I’m ready and im terrified to test. I just need the cdl to drive a bucket truck. But I am testing in a manual transmission with a 28ft trailer. I’m working another program and this is like a partnered company that works with the school I attend and I’m freaking out because my student loan isn’t budgeted for additional training. I’m in cali. My 2nd attempt at the DMV test is tomorrow. I brought down the psi before beginning my air leak test and failed that portion and that wasn’t the part I wasn’t confident in so I’m just overreacting and scared. Any advice appreciated. I thought it was lack of training but others are passing so it must be me.

I test in two days and so far 90s and the air brake test has been my biggest fear. The Instructors told me they arnt looking for the truck to pass so much as YOU know what your looking for. Also testing on a manual 10 speed

You need to break down your brake test into manageable chunks. Once you get going, if you realize you messed up, you can start the brake test (over in most places). Remember to breathe.
