If you go for road lessons and road revision it is compulsory to bring raincoat at the back of the bike so will need alot. For SSDC circuit is it optional.

SSDC circuit no need raincoat.. but even with the shelter u can still get pretty drench.. especially when u are at the exit area waiting for learner cars to go out or come back to sch. the e brake station will flood too if rain is too heavy.

Hey All,

CDC - passed TP on my 2nd try on 22 Feb with 18 pts Yay! Took me 4 months+ so considered fast i guess from hearing experiences of other learners. 

The 22 Feb batch had 42 people making it to the 2nd part and all got their license that day. I guess testers were generous but it seems everyone got 18 pts LOL. Oh well, pass is a pass anyway. Onwards to 2A!

Just luck and perseverance. 8mths is nothing. I met others during the test that were at it since 2020. You’ll do fine. Just focus on the safety aspect in everything you do. Testers need to see that you give way to vehicles with right of way etc

Yeah surprising. My 1st test jan 6 had only 21 passing the circuit and not all made it in the end. 

[Dylannn]

For those taking TP there are many things that you may think TP officers might fail you for (e.g. Dropping right foot off at E-brake, etc). What I experienced during my time at BBDC is that what you should be thinking is not how you want to do each courses and hit timings but instead focus on just riding in general.

Before move off from start point, always check right side then left Blind spot (BP) and right side again before moving off. At the first bend, check Right BP and then turn. Do note that it is important that you release your foot brake fully as sometimes you may not feel that the foot brake is activated but the brake lights will be turned on even with the slightest press of your foot brake. Once you complete the first turn, Signal right, check right BP and do your lane change after you pass the first cone next to the plank course. If there are no on coming cars, do a quick right BP check and turn right and aim your bike at the sign 29, signal left, check left BP and do your lane change. Check Left BP once more at sign 28 before turning in at sign 29. Check right side of the major road and then left BP and check right side again before moving off. At sign 7 before turning in to Slope, you have to be in gear 2 and check your left BP. When stopping on top of the slope, Clutch in first then kick gear down and brake. DO it in this order else you may find yourself putting your right foot down due to harsh braking and losing balance. Once stopped, signal right and check Right BP before moving off. To move off, step on footbrake and hold it there, Throttle about 20-30% and release clutch until you hear the rpm dropping. Once it drops and the sound is constant, release footbrake and increase throttle slightly and clutch slightly. When going down the slope, front brake hold about 10% and footbrake while clutch is fully released. Signal left while going down and increase front brake while clutching in when you are near the bottom of the slope. Check right, Left BP and check right again before moving off to the traffic light.

PLEASE REMEMBER if you are the third bike at the traffic light waiting to go towards S course PLEASE wait till both bikes in front of you go pass the pedestrian crossing line then move forward and STOP in front of the yellow box. DO NOT CROSS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT YET. This is because the traffic light usually last long enough for 2 2B riders to check their safety checks and move off. Do your junction checks right side, left side and right BP before moving off. Halfway past the yellow box in the junction signal left and queue for S course. If you are not confident that your bike will fit in the queue for S course, just wait at the traffic light until a bike or 2 have done their S course. 

If you are wondering why every time entering S course and Crank always end up in Neutral, release more clutch instead of throttling more. The clutch is the most important feature of the motorcycle in gear 1 as it is the actual factor that controls how fast you are going to be going at gear one when moving off. So when entering S course, notice how there is a slight Straight path at the start of the S course inside, that is where you should open Throttle and hold footbrake. It is okay to step on footbrake harder initially, just release foot brake when you feel you are getting to close to the kerb and maintain once you found the sweet spot. When exiting S course, stop if need to for on coming vehicles and then do a left BP check when exiting S course (If you stopped for a car or bike) and one more before you turn left for to starting line for Crank course. Signal right once you have stopped at the crank course start line. As for crank its the same technique as S course just remember when moving off, release more clutch so you can gain more speed then look at where you want to go ignoring all kerb. Do stop front leg in front of white line at Crank course Exit while rear tire behind if there is an on coming vehicle. After that do a right check, left BP and check right again before moving to the traffic light.

Then at junction checks, always check right side, left side then right BP before moving off if you are the first bike. Second rider will check right BP first, move off then check right and left side roads of the junction. Halfway pass the yellow box is when you turn on right signal. If ahead of the junction is a left filter lane, you would have to check your left side once more then can check right BP and lane change to right lane. Check right, left and then right BP before doing the right turn towards plank. To avoid getting points for sharp turn and wide turn, once you move off and your handle bar reaches the first zig zag line, turn your handlebars towards the lane you want to go to and switch to gear 2 while doing so. The bike would not drop if you have enough throttle and clutch before changing gear. Once right turn is done, throttle more, quickly signal left, CHECK MIRRORS FIRST then do your left BP check. Why check mirrors first? This is to prevent you from wobbling as you have not gain enough speed to prevent wobbling while checking BP. Once done lane change, check Left BP once more before lane changing left once more for plank course.  Cancel signal after the lane change into plank course. When turning right towards plank, do a Right BP check as you may get demerit points for not checking there. Depending on TP officers you get as some may be more particular in those simple mistakes and will mark you down even more.

At Plank course, Check right BP before moving off. To move off more stable, throttle and release more clutch first. Once rear tire on the plank, Footbrake and then clutch in little by little until you get the sweet spot where the bikes starts to go really slow but stable enough to stay on the plank. At pylon slalom, do not need to wait for TP to wave at you. Just check right BP and move off. Remember to clutch out more when moving off so as to not be stuck in neutral gear. Turn your handlebars when it is in line with the first cone and then just keep turning. If your move off is fast enough, you would only need to throttle at the last cone. After exiting pylon slalom, Check right BP and move to E brake start point.

At E brake, there will be no cones to tell you when to switch gear. By now you should be able to gauge when to up gear for the E brake. Before moving off, Check right BP and then go. At gear 2, throttle harder to reach the speed of at least 30 before changing to gear 3. When at gear 3, just open throttle very very slightly to maintain that 30-35km/h. Once crossed the white line for braking, brake, push your body backwards and look straight at the same time. Clutch in and put your left foot down before the bike is coming to a complete stop. It is okay to hang your left foot slightly early before stopping as it will help you to prevent putting your right foot down when stopping. Also do not worry if you stall at E brake. Just turn engine on, Right BP then right foot down, change to gear 1, signal right, Check right BP then left foot down and right foot up and then check right blind spot before moving off. STOP by the third Broken white line( the curved broken white line near the water cooler under the umbrella by the E Brake) before the exit of E brake if there are on coming vehicles. I was told by instructors that if you stop after the third broken white line e.g. the fourth broken white line, you will get an Immediate Fail (IF) as TP will count you as not giving way to vehicles at the bend. If you stopped, Check Right BP once more before moving off. Otherwise just check right BP before turning out and then cancel signal once turn is done.

When near the workshop, signal left and then check left BP before turning in to the End Point. With this done You are finished with the most scariest part of the TP test Circuit assessment! As for Road assessment I don't have much tips just only that if at zebra crossing you see people walking towards you, just stop if you are unsure. when their backs are facing you, you may then proceed to move. And for junction pedestrian crossings at traffic light, if the person is crossing facing you, wait till they complete the whole crossing. If they are facing away from you, wait till they are 1 whole lane pass the lane you are aiming towards. This way you will not get any IF.

Morning have a good decent breakfast maybe drink something hot to calm your nerves down a little, I personally found drinking a hot cup of black tea with no sugar helped me calm my nerves down for the whole duration of my TP test 

As for the courses in the circuit if you keep feeling that you are not confident for it, go for revision circuits (RC) as many as possible and every RC you do, just whack only. If you fall is okay its not TP so its fine. S course really need to whack throttle and control footbrake if you want to hit timings. Another thing is even if its raining super heavy on the day, just go for the lessons don't cancel just because you are afraid of riding in rain etc. Riding in the rain is a good way to help reduce your fears and increase your confidence for all the circuit courses. You really have to trust that the tires of the bikes will not give up on you during a corner it really is way more reliable than what your expectation threshold of the tires will be.

Any way just enjoy your whole 2B journey don't stress out because of failures. If you feel burnt out by the amount of times you failed a lesson or TP, just take a short break and then come back and try again. During my 2B although I did not fail the lessons except for 2.1, 4.1 and 8.1 once, I really started off really shitty and even got into an ACCIDENT with a car inside the circuit landing me in the hospital and not able to ride for 3 months .

This is all I have for tips as these are given to me from the different instructors by the amount of RC's I have attended. (I spent around 300$ on RC's alone). I may or may not have been able to cover all the tips so if anything you feel I have missed out just ask your instructors as they are the ones who knows every part of the way the system of evaluating a rider works.

All the best all those who is taking 2B. Remember to enjoy your time as it if you enjoy while riding it is much easier to do so.

Dropping ur right foot during ebrake is not a immediate fail! They will only give u incorrect posture! Cos i dropped my right leg during TP n i almost cried when i go back to the waiting room.. i almost cried when i passed too

Wah.. wat happened during the accident? I got into an accident last year n cant ride much even till now.. 

[kitsura]

As you upgrade classes you will find them being stricter and stricter. Like I don't remember the tester being so harsh when I was taking 2B but for 2A I had to be almost flawless. Like they were deducting points for braking during a turn (didn't even know that was a thing until then) and all other rubbish like failure to lookout for traffic even when I checked every junction and sideroad (maybe rubbish points).

I noticed for my batch class 2 had less than 50% pass rate compared to 2A which probably had 60% or more so it had to be even harder.

E brake i not sure haha i was told by my instructors that incorrect posture are marked based on how your upper body is ( not hunched forward) have to be up right straight and elbows almost straightened out all the way. And they told me that E brake if right foot drop is a fail no matter what if taking 8.01 they will say "i give you chance don't want hold you back just go do more RC and practice more". That's why those who dropped right foot for E brake during TP came in and just say "I fail already" 

 

I got hit by a car while turning out from a minor to major road. It happened because i did not do the safety check in the correct order. It was kind of funny but at the same time embarrassing because even when the circuit the car was going like 10-20km/h?? it still somehow managed to send me flying 2-3 bike distance  After that i remember walking towards the bike and picking it up after that was told to sit at the kerb and i just could not stand afterwards. Almost all the instructors remember me based off that incident but we became like friend friend and eventually when i came back i actually somehow magically became much better in riding which i also don't know how to explain  

Get well soon though!

As you upgrade classes you will find them being stricter and stricter. Like I don't remember the tester being so harsh when I was taking 2B but for 2A I had to be almost flawless. Like they were deducting points for braking during a turn (didn't even know that was a thing until then) and all other rubbish like failure to lookout for traffic even when I checked every junction and sideroad (maybe rubbish points).

I noticed for my batch class 2 had less than 50% pass rate compared to 2A which probably had 60% or more so it had to be even harder.

Yes you are right that 2A and Class 2 are way more stricter. But this is because they "Assume" that since you already hold 2B license for at least 1 year, they just assume you have a bike and ride like every day or at least a few times a week. This goes the same for Class 2. The TP will not care that even if you hold the license and never ride for a whole year they still assess you like you have been riding a bike. I also know that when you drop your bike for 2A and class 2 the instructor can really become super angry and scold you but this is no choice because they worry those taking the sessions after may not have enough "functioning" 2A and Class 2 bikes. As for during my experience for my 2B it was really how strict like the way stated above.
