Update:

Practical 7: 2 lessons (Finally passed a practical in less than 3 lessons -_-)

Practical 8: 1st lesson 05/09/2013

 

Can't believe I'm so close to TP already...

 

The above quote mentioned my 1st practical lesson 8 is 05/09/2013 which is today! Well actually today's my 2nd one cause I managed to book one on 01/09/2013. I got 30 points and 1 immediate failure (strike pylon), and that immediate failure will haunt me in my 2nd practical 8 as you will read it later on.

 

1st lesson I was quite pissed at myself for being too nervous. Before practical 8, I booked 1 lesson of circuit revision just to be prepared for practical 8. Throughout the circuit revision I NEVER strike any pylon, but somehow practical 8's pylon I f*cked up. Damn sian.

But oh well even if I did not strike pylon the 30 points will still send me for repeat lesson.

 

So today is my 2nd practical 8 lesson. As usual I booked a circuit revision session before that so I could be prepared. Went to CDC and the downpour quite bad. This time I practiced specifically for plank and pylon, my weakest area. Once again, I DID NOT strike any pylon on my circuit revision.

 

 

2nd practical 8 time. Did slope, everything was good. Did figure 8, everything was good. Did crank course, everything was good. Did plank, too fast so I got 4 points but whatever. Then here comes the pylon. When I moved off from the starting line, I suddenly have a flashback on how I failed my 1st practical 8. I remember I striked a pylon. I started to get really nervous. I felt my heart was skipping beats. I hesitated for a bit. My bike touched a pylon -__-"

 

I only knew my bike touched a pylon when the instructor debriefed me at the end. Before that, I could felt my bike touched something, so I looked back but I saw all pylons are still upright. None of them fell. Final result:

I feel damn sian right now. So f*cking sian until I don't know how to express my feelings in words. I could do pylon no problem during both circuit revisions, but somehow I will just screw something up on practical 8.

bro.. cannot beat my 3 fails bro. never turn on headlights, didn't stop to wait for instructor and sat on bike and pushed it off main stand!

 

those are really stupid ways to spend 150 bucks.

 

for slalom... go wide bro. you must keep in mind you have crash bars in front and at the back. the crash bars do not come into play in any other obstacle except slalom. when you move off, angle your bike to the right a bit. to keep from hitting the first cone. u will have to bank a little more than you might be used to to make the turn. and if in doubt, go slow. 4 points if better than IF. you might be lucky and survive the rest of the course.

 

keep going. don't give up now.

Hi guys, 1st post here in the bike forums. I'm currently a CDC Class 2B learner myself so for interested people who want to know more about CDC Class 2B here's my background and history. I'm on practical 7 at the moment and my 1st practical 7 lesson would be this coming Friday.

 

Signed up for Class 2B enrollment on 03/2013 with a Class 3 license, so I skipped BTT and just went for RTT theory lessons and test.

At first I thought I should be able to learn bike well but during the months of taking practical lessons I realize I'm quite a slow and weak learner.

 

Theory Lessons Attendence

BTT 4 Theory Lessons: Skipped (Class 3)

BTT Internal Evaluation: Skipped (Class 3)

BTT: Skipped (Class 3)

RTT 4 Theory Lessons: Attended 1 lesson each, 4 lessons total

RTT Internal Evaluation: 1st time pass (48/50)

RTT: 1st time pass (50/50)

 

Practical Lessons Attendence

Circuit Orientation: 1 lesson

Practical 1: 4 lessons

Practical 2: 3 lessons

Practical 3: 4 lessons

Practical 4: 3 lessons

Circuit Revision to prepare for lesson 5: 7 lessons (LOL)

Practical 5: 3 lessons

Practical 6: 4 lessons

Practical 7: 2 lessons (Finally passed a practical in less than 3 lessons -_-)

Practical 8: 2 lessons, 3rd lesson 08/09/2013

 

As you can see, the minimum amount of lessons I have to take to pass a module is 3 lessons. I think I learn quite slow. My friend told me he spent about $600 on getting a Class 2B license but I'm only at practical 7 and I already spent $1k on it already. Kinda regret enrolling for Class 2B lessons now that I think about it but it doesn't make sense that I give up now since I'm almost at the end of the course already.

 

I would already have booked my TP if not for the stupid pylon zzz... I'm still damn sour inside even after my afternoon nap haha. Oh well what to do? Anyway my updated Class 2B journey is in the above quote. Practical 8 on 08/09/2013 session 2. Circuit revision for 08/09/2013 session 1 is full so this time I don't be able to practice beforehand. I foresee I will fail again lol.

 

Already spent $1.4K on Class 2B haven't even count in TP fees. Feeling disgusted at the amount of money I spent already.

 

Thank keyxblade and rijac riding seniors for the encouragement.

was told by the instructor that if you are practicing slalom in the nursery, the yellow markings are same distance as the pylons... just practice going through without touching the yellow markings.

ok. for reference. on the night before there is TP, it seems the instructors pay extra attention to the revision students. so if you guys going for TP in the future, try to book a revision the night before.

Its like that. I was demoralised too. What I did was that I will book like 5 lessons in a row. This way you do not feel the pain of waiting which time was important to me.

 

I think the instructors also touched by my sincerity. Just plug at it until you pass. Just tell yourself, if you fail u come again until you pass. I mean, how many time can you possibly fail? Take more lessons increases the odds of you passing.

there is TP every week. so every tues night they will be paying more attention to revision students.

at my 3rd try instructor was trying to pass me. he didn't even bring us out for evaluation lap on route 2. just evaluate based on warm up lap. he told me - don't have any IF. meaning they were intending to pass me since i did 3 lessons and i'm actually ok, just had IF the previous two times. i did another IF. lol. he must have been shaking head.
