I was the same last Monday, the night before I only got about 3hrs sleep, it really isnt as bad as you imagine its going to be. Once you've started the test the nerves go, enjoy it and good luck

FAILED!!!

everything was perfect except indicators. my instructor was shocked as i was 100% perfect on all my training. the pressure just got to me

really crappy, especially when my other 2 mates that were doing it at the same time as me passed

re-test next month

grrrrrrr

[deanoet]

unlucky..

Did you forget to cancel them?
Very easily done, you can guarantee on a reasonably long ride with a few of you at least one will do it at least once...

The ER5 I took my test on had indicators that made a noise until I turned them off, so I always remembered to cancel them. Good luck next time.

Grr, I hate it when that happens. I was positive I forgot to cancel mine and went past another junction before bashing it with my thumb to cancel. It felt like it pushed in to cancel (I didn't look down at my indicator light before hand so can't be sure it was on) but the instructor must have missed it. Had a niggling doubt for the next 20 minutes of my test until he told me I passed and I was so relieved.

Just try and get into the habit of pressing the indicator cancel button regularly, even if you haven't just come out of a corner (obviously do it then as well, but as long as you keep pressing it, the time that you might forget round a corner, you may cancel it just in time before it becomes a major).

Good luck next time

Keep trying, don't give up. A lot of people don't pass first time, maybe try taking some Kalms a week or so before the test? And a Radox bath before bed the night before. Worked for me...

Aye good luck!

Just think, you'll have more experience as a learner than your mates, so you'll be a better rider

I hope you passed today fella, there's nothing better than being on the road.

I failed by first test because of a white van man pulling from the outside lane to the inside lane and slowing to 50 in a 70 zone

Because I didn't break, and just slowed down the examiner failed me.

My second one I passed with no minors, probably because he couldn't keep up with me in his subaru with the traffic.
