But you can call them up and still sign up and show up at one of the first days of a class that is starting to see if there is anyone that didn't show or dropped out, then you can slide on in. It's always worth a shot if you think you can't wait til next year. You'll need to get your learner's permit before you can get in the class so think about that also.

Yea....MSF courses fill up VERY fast in MD. You could always show up at a range on Thursday night and hope there was a cancellation. I've seen that work once or twice in the past.

You could look into some the course sponsored by HOG (I think). That may be been the route SweetJ took.

Do they offer this at the Maryland's DMV or do you have to make a reservation or sign up to take the test. Also, where can I get the material to study for?
