DAS booked mod 1 and 2 on same day.....good idea?

[sheriffjonny]

As above i have booked my DAS course, and with my shift patterns it was pretty difficult fitting it in, but anyhow, got 1 day training on the saturday, and the 2nd day on the tuesday with tests on the wednesday. Anybody else done both tests on the same day?

I'm thinking that i only have to panic/worry for the one night before the tests this way, but have i madea big mistake, as if i fail mod1, i'll have te lost the £75 mod 2 test fee? But fortune does favour the brave

Last week I had mod1 at 0900 and mod2 at 1345ish. I got one out of 2..

Practise what you pick up on Saturday and you'll get to that mod 2, if you have your own bike. And then you'll feel like aceing the mod 2 (even if you in fact don't!)

sorry to hear that. I have my own bike, so will be practicing a lot

I did my MOD 1 and 2 on the same day a couple of weeks ago and passed both with one minor on MOD 2. Think of it this way, would you rather 2 stressfull days of tests or just the one Just make sure you nail MOD1 and it should give you the confidence to nail MOD2. I found it a rather calming experience. Good luck and don't forget to do them shoulder checks on the MOD1, sounds daft because you know its just you there, but quite a few people I know failed for not doing them.

Interesting to see you're splitting up your training days, I had 3 in a row - might have benefitted from the extra time in between.

If you have your instructor with you, they will take you round the likely test route if there's time in between the tests, another benefit.

I did my MOD1 at 9:00 and was nervous as hell, by 12:40 I was doing my MOD2 and was calm as could be I did get a couple hours training before test which helped, in effect I had a mock test first which I failed lol. It was also in a town I have never been in which filled me with dread, but to be fair it made it so much easier.

Any discussion about what is a good and bad idea is futile, so stop stressing about something that's booked.

Focus on passing both the tests, if you pass, then what a splendid idea it was and you knew it all along!

You get serious man points for doing both in 1 day. Take in all the info given by your instructor and browse around these forums, there is some good test advice to be found.

Best of luck fella!

I've opted for separate days just in case I fail mod1, which I did

Passed second time and mod2 few days later first time - which I think was easier. But I hate waiting, and usual options are: mod1 around 8-9 in the morning and mod 2 3-4 hours later.

I would guess it all depends how good your with your nerves.
