I was actually surprisingly calm up until the night before which is rather unlike me. Didn't get to sleep until about 1-2am because of anxiousness/nervousness but everything went fine nonetheless.

You'll be fine.

Getting nerves is only natural, i was pooping my self for about a week before my test, once you get riding though you will settle into it, i almost forgot he was following me!

Nah I wasnt, but then I'd been riding forever on a 125 when the Law changed and I had to do my CBT - so I thought sod it and went for the DAS.. did the whole thing in 4 days. The only thing I was a bit wary about was my U-turn, so the day before my test I took the bike into the carpark and practiced doing a figure of 8 around the cones, so much so I had that bike turning on a sixpence. That was that, next day, test day - as soon as I'd done the U-turn, 2nd thing you do after emergency stop - I was grinning from ear to ear, as i knew I was faultless in every other area.

I was confident and happy, and I proved myself without a hitch.

I wasn't nervous til an hour before my test. Had a last 40 minute practise and must have done just about everything wrong possible. Missed 2 changes of speed restriction, U turns which had been faultless suddenly where nervous (still never put a foot down though Wink

) and generally I was just crap.

As soon as the test started though I was fine. Thing is you're used to having an instructor chattering in your ear constantly and telling you where you could improve, plus mine always sat a few feet off my back wheel. The examiner on the other hand was totally calm and rode about 10M behind me, plus of course they simply issue instructions - they're not telling you how you just got your positioning wrong on that last roundabout, so you can concentrate fully on whats going to happen rather than what did. I just felt a lot more relaxed than I had on the normal lessons.

Good luck Smile
