^ This! I did my CBT in mid May and felt miles away from being ready to take my Mod 2. I passed my Mod 2 last friday. After my CBT I had a DAS assessment on a 125 for the 1st hr then a blast on the 600 and whilst I felt far from comfortable in terms of competency on the road they said I was struggling on the 125 and was ready for the bigger bike. So, next lesson I had an hour on the bigger bike (XJ6) on the roads then straight into a mock Mod1 test on it. I did ok but was struggling with the fig of 8. A couple of lessons later I was fine on everything apart from the fig.8 still. It was my nemesis. After my third lesson though it just clicked and every lesson from there-on in just got better and better and before I knew it I had my tests booked and passed through everything easily at the first time of asking. Each lesson you should pick up a couple of very minor things. It'll seem like nothing at the time but as it all builds up together it all just clicks and before you realise you're well on the way to being test ready. Time, patience, dedication to learning is all it takes. Just stick with it. You'll be rewarded in the end.
