2B TP test tips

Hi all, good day!

My TP test is next week and I’m very nervous, just wanted to check if anyone is able to provide some tips and check my circuit understanding below.

For some reason, I keep losing points unnecessarily even though Ive followed everything by the book..

How I usually go abt my circuit:

Motorcycle checks before riding off:

- horn, headlights, brake check
- once mounted, ensure kickstand is completely off the ground

1. Starting line:
   - signal left, wait for flag, check right check left and turn into left lane, keep turn signal on

2. Stop at stop line and form up LRLR. Check right and inch out to remove blind spot. Check right check left turn. Move off. Turn off signal. Check left when turning the bend, change to 2nd gear —-> do they minus points if you don’t shift the gear up from 1st?

3. Approaching left turn, signal left, check left, turn.

4. Figure of 8:

- form 1 line when queueing. Keep left signal on. Wait for flashing light. Check right check left, turn into course, change to 2nd gear and cancel signal. Keep momentum and under 12 secs, turn on signal just before leaving the course and change back to first gear. Don’t cancel signal.

4. Crank course:
   Stop line check right check left, turn and shift gear to 2nd, check for oncoming vehicles, check left turn into the leftmost lane first (if the queue is short), then signal right and change lane into the right lane, change back to left lane

5. Form up LRLR at traffic light. Check right go straight, change to second gear. After the junction signal left and check left.

6. Slope:

If at the left side, signal left when coming in. Shift gear to 1st and stop. Signal and check away from kerb and move off. Vice versa for right side. Going down the slope, signal right.

7. Stop at stop line. If on left side, I check right only and inch up past the stop line to eliminate blindspot? And if I were on the right side, I check BOTH left and right and inch out? When moving off I Turn right into right most lane, signal left and check left and change lane. Enter the plank course

8. Plank course:
   After turning in, cancel signal. Wait for flashing light, check left, stay on for more than 6 secs. Stop at stop line before cones.

9. Slalom:
   - can just move off don’t need wait for light, check left, shift up to 2nd gear, after the last cone check left.

10. Emergency brake:

Wait for flashing light, check left and shift gear to 3rd to accelerate to 35km/hr. After white line, apply both brakes and stop before red line. Check right, put right foot down and change to 1st gear. Check left put left foot down. All while holding on to the front brake. Signal left check left move off. At filter lane check right and move off, shift up gear

11. Moving back to nursery:

At the bend right after the emergency brake, keep signal on check right and follow the bend. Stay on the outer most lane. Cancel signal and after the zebra crossing, signal right and change lane, keep signal on all the way until turning in

Could I check if our hand is supposed to hover over the front clutch or front break during the entire time we ride?

Sorry if this was too long, was trying to recall everything 🙏 unfortunately, road revisions were all snapped up, so would have to visually practise if that’s a thing… if you have tips or mistakes learnt from that would really appreciate to hear from you too 😅

Thank you in advance!
