Test Tomorrow :/

[Dan 4RR]

As the title suggests, I've got my A2 test tomorrow morning at 10:24am. I just wanted to know what peoples thoughts were about it. Was it easy, difficult, maybe a bit of both? For those of you that have done both your car & bike test, which did you think was the easiest/hardiest? Anyways..wish me luck, and hopefully I'll pass.

Good luck on the test, best bit of advice is to relax and talk yourself through all the manourvers.

I passed 3 rd time round, so if the worst does happen, dont give up. Keep trying and when you do pass itll feel so much better.

I personally found the car test easier mainly because there wasnt any pressure, i had very little interest in passing because i wasnt bothered about cars i wanted me bike test.

Good luck, the worst that will happen is you will fail and have to take it again, but we all know you won't fail.

Once you get out there, you will feel relaxed and in your element, just take it easy, remember the checks and speed limits, because once you get into the swing of things it feels like two minutes long, it will fly by and then you can enjoy a nice pass certificate.

Good luck.

yea just be relaxed and dont make it a big thing and yourll be fine. i have to do my car test in near future so got to do it all again not fun!!

Good luck, you'll do it! Go get 'em !!!

[lilredmachine]

Don't worry about it, you'll be thinking 'god I've failed it' everytime you do something. It takes quite a lot to fail a bike test (apart from on the maneuvers such as u-turn etc.), just remember that when you start, you have already passed and it is up to you not to make the mistakes that will change that

On mine I rode like a total n00b, terrible compared to an earlier lesson i did, and still came away with only 2 minors (both for the difficult feat of turning left )

I did the bike and car test within a month of each other last year, personally bike test was quite easy. Got one minor, quite enjoyed it really. Thats the best thing to do, try and enjoy yourself. Car test i got 4 minors for... found that a bit harder and my balls were sweatier

Good luck mate, aslong as your no fool should be fine

Did my DAS last year, and the best advice I can give is to try your best to stay relaxed during the ride.
Also if you make mistakes, try not to get distracted by being self critical, just put them behind you and continue with the ride.

As for comparing the car and bike tests, it's difficult for me to comment, cos I took my car test over 17 years ago, so the test requirements have changed somewhat.

I remember the morning of the DAS test though, and actually expected to be more nervous than I actually was - which must have helped by being relaxed cos I felt pretty good during the ride as well as the end of the test (and passing 1st time felt quite good too )


Good luck, and let us know how it goes?

I thought the car test was hardest even though it was 16 years before my bike test.

The thing about the car test is you have the examiner 2 feet from you.

On your bike test, he is watching your road positioning, mirror signals, life savers, use of all fingers on the clutch/front brake, following the highway code at all times etc.

What he isn't doing is watching what gear you are in etc or if you've reved a bit too much (like on a car test).

For all the examiner knows, you could slip it in neutral and free wheel down the road.

My examiner was in a car following me at times there was a car infront of him.

However I was more worried about bike test than car test, I was 32 when I passed bike test, 17 when passed car and I didn't give a f**k about it cos my parents paid for it.

I rode absolutely shit on the day of my bike test, passed with 4 minors. You'll be fine so long as you dont do something daft, mostly people fail on the U-turn, stuff like that. Just make sure you take your time, watch your speed, and most importantly relax. I failed my first car test almost completely from nerves. If your legs start shaking ask for a moment to pull yourself together, once you are riding you'll be sweet.
