Shoulder check a lot and between all lateral lane position changes, put some sort of reflective tape on your helmet vertically so they can see you shoulder check.
Practice up on your U turns, from what i heard and my test included they make you U turn on a more narrow residential road. Make sure feet are off the ground for the U turn.
Keep bike in gear, only put in neutral when they tell you to stop and park sort of thing. If the examiner tells you something confusing or slightly confusing just double check with him/her to see what they want for sure.
Watch for school zones, and CONSTRUCTION ZONES. Construction zones were the bane for a lot of my friends in both bikes and cars.
Dont do anything illegal or unsafe even if the examiner tells you. For me the examiner must have not been paying attention and wanted me to turn right too late. If i wanted to make the maneuver properly according to ICBC it would be hella unsafe. I just breezed by it and told him he has to tell me earlier and it was all okay.
I passed first time, he said he could fail me because I didnt shoulder check enough between interlane changes, but he could tell I could ride so he let me off. so SHOULDER CHECK SHOULDER CHECK SHOULDER CHECK. You may not be as lucky as I am.
