I am currently learning and my instructors have given me the following advice:
- 70:30 as a general rule until the bike is at 10mph and then rear only
- 50:50 in the wet
- Never use the front whilst on a corner

Naturally it took some time to get used to this but my instructor actively checked that I was using the right brakes at the right time. My overall impression is that some instructors just teach you how to get you through the test, and others teach you to ride properly and safely!
