All of the above seems like great advice.
My bad habit during training was forgetting to cancel my turn signal. Good instructor picked me up on it early and drummed it out of me. I was told to double check I'd cancelled it and still do it to this day. Dunno if this is just me but worth a mention.
Relax & good luck.

Yeah, good point. Always cancel indicators as cars may think you're turning off and may pull out on you.

Just stay calm and you'll be fine. Good luck mate.

Yeah. totally agree with the point about the indicators, It's something you never forget and it becomes second nature but when you are first learning you forget all the time, especially if you are used to driving a car which turns them off automaticaly.

I don't recall seeing this posted, (it's been a long day) but try to enjoy it. That's what my instructor told me and I did too. I passed first time. Good luck to you mate, hope all goes well.

Watch your speed, it is easy to creep up, especially on roads where everyone breaks the limit. I've got my second go in a couple of weeks, failed the first time for creeping up over the limit by around 8mph in a 40. Good luck.

I started to creep over the limit at one point on my mod 2 but realised and reduced my speed. The examiner noticed and I got a minor for it. If you don't notice it and have to be told to slow down, then it's a fail.

You have the skills. Just don't let nerves take over and you'll be fine. Just think of it as a normal training ride.
