That’s all I needed.   I thought the GVWR and the associated GCVR had a factor in the difference.   I don’t have a tow vehicle over 10k so I guess B it will be.   Thank you for the quick response.

The confusion is understandable. If your motorhome was less than 26,000 lbs and you planned to tow anything then the combined weight WOULD make a difference. Good luck on your test!

Was able to schedule written and skills on the same day only five days head of time.  Did written in Columbus at 9am and skills in Angleton at 1pm.  I studied both sections 6 and 14, but Columbus didn't make me take Combinations test.   Had issues getting the details right with both locations, but got it worked out easily since I was well educated from this thread.

I mostly relied on free practice tests.  Only read the handbook sections once.  I missed four of 20 so I barely passed.  Two questions I probably could have got right had I read more carefully.  The other two were questions that the free practice tests didn't cover at all.  The practice site I liked the best was dmv-permit-test.com.  My wife is going to take the test soon so I just paid the $35 so she has all four practice tests they offer and hopefully she won't get surprised by any questions on the test.

Columbus said they can do the skills test too but you have to schedule in person for some reason.  They made me show proof of my social security # even though I had a Real ID drivers license and a passport.  They were really nice ladies up there, I'd definitely go back.  They were just a little inexperienced with non-CDL class A.  

Angleton skills test went smoothly.  The most difficult part was actually getting my 45' trailer behind the building to the point where the test starts.  For non-CDL they make you have you go to the same place are regular car tests.  I have a horse trailer with Living which has axles way in the back.  There was literally no way for me to get back to the start point without driving over curbs.

The actual skills test was easier than I expected.  They're definitely looking to pass you if they can.
