Amen to that brother. The test's do not prepare you for grit, ice, snow, counter steering, rear wheel braking, fixation, hump back bridges, excessive speed with the wrong entry point and gear going in to a down hill banked corner or any of the other many issues there are with riding as a newb. Only experience and track days do that.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
