Passed, but shouldn't have as I locked the back brake a little on the emergency stop, but the examiner didn't spot it!
I tried some sample tests and kept clicking too early because I was thinking "Ok, that's liable to become a hazard, so I'll keep an eye on it".

Have a read of Keith Code's 'Twist of the Wrist' He explains how loading up the brain with too much 'potentialities' is quite a bad thing. The more you can discard from thinking about, the easier it is for the brain to cope with a hazard when it is 'on you'. I apply this to my own riding.
Just passed my Mod 2 last week. Took me about 5 months all in all and best part of £750.CBT & theory pretty straight forward. Mod 1 was a pain, failed twice and as a new biker with next to no biking experience, i feel its easy to fail, i also understand why. Failing has made me a "better" biker as i learnt from it.Mod 2 wasn't a wak in the park but passed 1st time but there are a lot of areas you have keep on top of especially your observations. All in all, i think the expereince has also made me a better car driver too mainly through being much more aware of whats going on around me.
