Relax, look far ahead, keep your distances from the vehicle ahead (remember, longer if it's a large vehicle) and keep your wits about you.

Oh, and don't think you need to stop at every junction to show you've looked - I did, didn't end well just ride as you would normally and you'll be fine! Best of luck!

Good luck.
As for tips, the main thing for me was watching the speed!
Oh, and if you see another yellow curvy (currently without lowers) in Hull, give a wave as its probably me!

Good look!

I mean have a good look as I'm sure your instructor has already told you.
Watch the speed too but most importantly, enjoy the ride, relax & remember to breathe.

I'm normally cool as a cucumber but was unnecessarily nervous and had to remind myself more than once to keep calm & carry on.
When I did, I relaxed, rode better & even enjoyed the ride (lots).
When we got back to the test center I was told by the examiner he could tell I relaxed.

Good luck

Relax and ride as would normally but remember your Life savers and check your mirrors often. Make sure when checking your mirrors that you move your head slightly to show the examiner you have checked them. This is what I was told before doing my MOD 2. It worked, no minors or majors.

Good luck!

Relax as much you can! Only speed up to speed limits AT the signs not before, same with slowing down do so before the sign not at it! (my mistakes )

Other then that good luck!

I just recently passed my module 2, so just remember to look ahead for any potential hazards and watch out for any speed limit changes (if you forget, use your surroundings to give you a clue to what the speed limit actually is)
