Listen to each instruction. Take a deep breath. Ask for clarification if you're in any doubt about what's being asked. Do eeeet. None of them are hard, and you know you can do them.

Ostentatious head movements at every manoeuvre, including the push-it-around.

Foot on the rear brake pedal but don't push it in the 50kph tests.

Lots of revs on the u-turn, shoulder check, look where you want to go.

No worries.

Before each task I would stay there for a few seconds, took a few deep breaths and then remembered what I needed to do, plenty of time.

So U turn, remember the life saver etc.

I cant help but picture this horrific scenario like some futuristic single player game of Polo with motorbikes and cones.

Its actually a piece of piss without a guy with a clipboard watching you.
The first time i thought i had it easy, started turning back in and hit the last cone with my foot, this time i looked where i wanted to go but started turning in too early and toe punted the cone after the speed trap before i got to the bloody hazard, really annoyed at myself, can do it no bother in practice.

Yeah bike hire etc can mount up eh? I'm gonna do it on my own 125 so I can at least drop the L-plates in the meantime til I can afford a bigger bike.
Be sure & let us know how you get on next time, best of luck.

Bit of a dick move by the examiner though, he could have pointedly looked the other way.
