Well test in the morning and to be honest i'm not looking forward to it , todays lesson managed to bring my confidence way down .

Just wondering if anyone has any last minute tips or tricks to get me through ?
Any pointers or tips on things to be especially aware of etc... ???

Yer, wear your leathers on your head, put your hands in your socks, go outside start praying to your bike, then give it a kiss and run round it in circles continuasly for 5 hours, then put your leathers on right, gear up, take her out take her for the most expensive wash, wax and shine, then go for it Razz

No tips I'm afraid, cos I did my test in the days when the examiner waited for you on the street corner Confused , but wish you good luck for tomorrow. At least you didn't take your test today - 6.6.6!

Might sound a bit daft but have a banana at about mid-day. They do a brilliant job of calming the nerves (don't ask me how or why - they just do).

Once the test starts, you'll be fine - best of luck Thumbs Up

Thanks all Thumbs Up

As for the leather comments - for my lessons i've been wearing my leather jacket , trainers , gloves and Caberg lid.

For my test i was going to wear my One piece Akito's , new Nitro lid , Akito boots & gloves - BUT , i wore these today on my lesson and i just fell apart .

My instructor actually advised me to wear just my jacket and boots for the test , but i wanted to look like i was acting safely Confused

only advice i have is just chill out do things as you normally do, i wore my new leathers and helmet for my 1st test , on the way to the test the test bikes front tyre blew out!, down i go, trashed leathers and lid, great start,
went back to my old gear and sailed through 2nd time.!

just chill out and dont try anything new save it for your 1st ride by yourself.

Wear what you've been wearing until now, you're comfortable in it.

Remember, the instructor can't hear you over the intercom, so feel free to talk to yourself the whole way through. Does wonders for getting everything right and reminding yourself of the speed limit etc.
