A2 Module 2 test on Wednesday!! Any advice?

[ZZRsteve]

Hi, im 17 and i have my A2M2 booked for wednesday, am really nervous have you got any advice for me? ive read that the examiner asks "show me, tell me" questions.. what sort of stuff do these questions include?? any advice is greatly appreciated!

Advice... don't speed and don't crash.

Show me tell me stuff is basic stuff like how you'd check the engine oil level or brake fluid levels, lights, horn, tyres, chain, etc etc. They also ask stuff about taking a pillion passenger such as what you should tell that person, what changes you might need to make to the bike and about what will be different when riding the bike with a pillion.

[ZZRsteve]

Thanks for the info

So what are the answers that they want to hear to those questions??

Fairly common sense answers i think, like you should tell a passenger to lean with you etc, and expect the bike to accelerate slower, and also stopping distance will increase when carrying a passenger.
bike adjustments are headlight trim and suspension i think.
Hope this helps

Can i ask was the test expensive for you? (125 or 500cc bike) and how many days training did you do? Just so i can get a rough idea of how difficult it will be for me at 17 like yourself.

[ZZRsteve]

Right okay, i did Theory test (£31), one training day with module 1 included (£110)(failed), 2x Module 1 (2x£15.50)(failed twice passed 3rd time), and 2x Module 2 (2x£75), so it came to a total of £322 (eeep).
