I reckon you could easily end up with a list of 20+ items that would help someone who doesn't know whether to do advanced training or not, understand what they would learn that they didn't learn on the DSA test, or haven't thought about since.
That would be very useful, I'd be interested to see it if you could cook something up between you and some of the other advancedie people.

Also to spell it out to any newbies the simple fact that the DSA test is as much use in terms of safe and progressive riding as a case of nob rot. Help dispell any feeling of "oh sod doing another test that I'm going to ignore as soon as I've passed".
