What did you fail on ?
Also there's a biker thread on the forums, post on there as well 
The test examiner as a biker, will know when he passes you, that the very next day you could buy a bike capable of doing 200mph, so any concerns will go against you. So make sure you're wearing the right gear for starters |

Cover your back brake when you stop.
If you're doing a U-turn, position yourself on the left of the seat to stabilise the turn.
Never exceed the speed limit.
Never go too slow, get up to just under the speed limit.
When you stop, ensure the front wheel is straight, it will help you balance.
Be careful at junctions, if the sign says stop, stop and put your foot down.
Listen to the instructions carefully on the Mike.
Loads more I could add.
Plenty of YouTube videos so check them out...
And finally, let me know if you pass. Good luck Op |

All good advice here
Never .. ever .. forget your life saver ... and make it obvious
As a former instructor that was the most important thing I taught the students.
Also .. think road position and defensive riding |

You just need to see it as an average ride where you are proving to youself how safe you ride, don't see it as a test.
If that fails, there are meds you can take that calms you down, musicians take it to overcome stage fright. |

Life saver brilliant, one of those things you do automatically but yes, definitely fail if you miss them. |

I passed my full test 2 weeks ago myself and you just need to tell yourself it's your instructor behind you and not the examiner and ride as you have been the hour before with him. I agree with doing all your checks and to really exaggerate them especially when you approach a change of speed restriction weather its lower or higher.postion yourself near the curb if stopping at lights and turning left and just really watch everywhere,I'm sure you will get it. |

Was it mod 2 test you failed on then I take it .
Do you drive a car.
Just basic road awareness. Following too closely ull be on your ass if he slammed on . So concern there .
I passed mine in August.. 1 minor for speed . |

Check out test centres in your area.
For example Blackburn in lance is notoriously difficult because the test centre is on a very busy motorway round-about. So better options are Blackpool and Southport.
Pick an area you know. Rest is try to relax and enjoy your ride.
Good luck ?? |
