Finally I reached the stage where I was at my TP. I've had experience with taking TP before this as I took my car license before my motorcycle license. I had to take the TP test for my car license a total of 4 times before passing and I was really really hoping to take this test once. I was really nervous when I reached the driving centre.
I believe that for motorcycle the TP only has 1 timing which is at 0750 am. Your warm up will be roughly around 0930 am.
The first thing to do when you report to the motorcycle office is to give your PDL and IC along with the booking slip to the instructor at the desk. They will hand you a small plastic folder that your PDL and IC will be kept in. Afterwards you will sit where your tag number is placed. The instructors will give you a briefing about the warm up. You will pass the plastic folder to the instructor in the order that is being called out. Then you will go out to warm up the bikes and do all the necessary checks for the bike you will be using. Make sure that it has no problems at all. Once this is done you will start to do the warm up inside the circuit. Note that there will be no warm up outside the circuit.
If you want to use the same bike for your test, place your helmet on the bike when you park it. You will go back inside and the instructors will assign leaders for a group. If I'm not wrong you will be in a group of 5 as that will be the amount of learners that can go for the TP at a single time. The first number of each group will be the leader. The leader has to do nothing other than tell the instructor your name and IC number when everyone is lined up outside.
Once this is done, everyone will go back in except for the first 2 groups. They will standby outside to start their test. Group after group will be called outside to start their test after that. It is important to stay calm during the test. If you want to freak out and panic before the test, it doesn't matter. Just be sure to calm your nerves during the test. Remember all the waiting points that the instructor have briefed you about. This is essential as there are points where you do not have to wait and will be given points if you wait.
I went through the circuit generally with ease except for the slope as I waited for the instructor when I was already supposed to go. The instructor was quite rude as well as he looked at me with a really shitty face for a while before asking me what I was doing. At first I thought there was something wrong with me or the bike. Be mindful that some of these instructors are rude so don't lose your cool and always be polite.
After I was done with my last course ( E-Brake) , I proceeded to go out of the circuit. Be reminded that you don't have to wait after completing your circuit, just proceed out as per normal. When I was riding outside, during the U-turn area I accidentally put my right leg down as I wasn't too stable. Once I did that, I was really nervous as I really did not want to go for my TP again. I hoped and prayed that the instructor didn't see it as there were 2 other riders behind me. I just proceeded as per normal from there and completed my test. I could say that putting my right leg down was the only major screw up for me, the rest of the test was quite okay.
Upon completing the test, return the bike to the end point and you can rest. We were just required to report back to the Classroom at level 3 by 1145 am. I went to the classroom slightly earlier and talked to some of the other test takers there. We were all nervous as we discussed all the mistakes we did.
At around 12pm one of the instructors came in and started calling tag numbers. Those who were called had to go to another room. If your number was being called it would mean that you failed the TP test.
Thankfully, my name was not called. I was so relieved at this point and so happy that I passed my test. I incurred 18 demerit points so it was just nice for me. Those who passed were required to watch a safety video in the classroom. Afterwhich we were required to book our Expressway Familiarisation Riding (EFR) course. We will need to complete the EFR to be able to apply for our license.
