How many times did you have to sit your test before you passed?

I am onto my 7th attempt and starting to get a bit pissed off with it all. Sat attempt No6 on monday there and failed cos i didnt get my indicator on at a junction! Bloody thing was sticky and if not pushed hard enough it didnt go on. As it was classed as a serious i got failed. Crying or Very sad

Why don't you start looking into using a different test centre, with different routes? Or a different riding school?

3 times for my bike test (over 2 months) and 5 for my car (but in my defence they were spread over 20 years!)

Do you ride apart from your lessons?

Do you mean what time of the day i have started the test at? If it is i have been first thing in the morning, mid morning, just after lunch, 2nd last of the day and last one of the day. So pretty much covered all types of conditions. Also covered all types of weather from nearly getting cancelled from the wind and rain to lovely warm still sunshine!

Aye thats my rs 125 in my avatar. The first 3 times i tried on the 125 cos of my age and looking back i realy wasnt ready. I got the money together and went for my 5 day DAS course (thank god it came with free bike hire until i pass the test!) so i have only sat it 3 times on the 500.

Oh ok Embarassed

I was going to say that mid-morning is probably the best test time, but I guess it's hard to get what you want with cancellations.
