MTC Brevete A-IIb: Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn the A-IIb scope precisely: M2, M3 up to 6 t, N2, and O1 or O2 trailers.
2Build a table of the Annex IV weights and dimensions and practise reading axle-group codes such as 1RS, 1RD and 2RD.
3Remember that dynamic-weighing tolerances apply only to weighing and never add legal capacity.
4Review the RNAT goods-transport terms: generador de carga, guías de remisión and transporte mixto.
5Practise the mechanics items from the MTC manual: transmission, suspension and fuel-system parts and simple roadside fixes.
6Practise the general subjects with the Class A-I bank, since half of the exam comes from them.
