My instructor had me doing them on narrow roads, often on an incline & one esecially with a wicked camber. When I'd passed he explained that he always taught them of horrendous roads so that when it came to the real thing, it would seem easy.

Other than that, exaggerate your observations, don't forget your "lifesavers", and make progress!

Oh, and as Stu says, enjoy the ride, you're out on a bike after all, can't be bad!

Good Luck!

Hey Rob, I did mine in Northwich too. Same thing for me, skinny little roads in my lessons but a big wide one in the test. Where did you have lessons?
