What are you doing in 6th at 40mph? No higher than 4th I would have said (or 2nd in real life!).
DON'T coast with the clutch in. No idea about Mod 2 or any of these other new tests but it's an instant fail in a car test and you have hardly any control. Not a problem changing down and using engine braking (not breaking unless you really are going to break something) before using the brakes. Change down as far as second then as you are about to stop, clutch in and down into first. I mean, just before, as you are stopping. You could even leave it in second, stop and then select first but you could have have a problem engaging a gear when completely stationary or forget to change down and then try to pull away in second.
