Rear brake is your friend when doing the low speed maneuvers. It allows for more control. Otherwise just head to a parking lot and practice. One I screwed up the most on was the accelerate and brake one. I accelerated too much so didn't brake in time. You are supposed to accelerate to a line then apply brakes to stop the front tire in this square. I didn't fail, but I missed a point on it. Ooh. Make sure your clutch is adjusted to how you like it. Stalling is negative points too.

what all do u have to do becca, i know you have to do that test, a weave in and out of cones, a u turn (which how wide is it?) and then the sharp turn and the obstacle one, is there anything else

Close as I can get for now:
The examiners will be testing you on a number of required skills that will enable them to judge if you’re ready to ride on the road alone. You’ll need to exhibit engine control without stalling. You’ll also be required to make sharp turns, make U-turns, weave through a series of cones, make an abrupt turn around an obstacle, execute a normal stop, and perform a quick stop to test your proficiency.

Also make sure you have your license, your permit, your registration, and insurance.

Get your slow speed skills down. I didn't get any points deducted from my test but man I almost didn't make it out of the slalom.
I thought I got a manual with the course layout years ago?

If you have a small bike you can do the test on I heard that helps a lot.

Nice.
