What's the question? 

 

What did you fail on? What was the examiners feed back? 

 

What do you not feel your compotent at? Anything in particular? Nerves? Multiple minors or single major?

Surely the best person to ask for advice/guidance/pointers would be your instructor?

@KiwiBob Ok that's great thanks, der already  have, in case you forgot driving schools are a business and they are all about making money and not saving you money, they don't tell you to much due to them losing out on money for me lessons, it really ain't rocket  science if you think about it, So I'm just asking other people for advise they can give me from their experiences thanks for your attempt though you done well

If you elaborate somewhat your likely to get more detailed answers.

 

Riding schools will also earn money by word of mouth by not taking people's money pointlessly. My school literally charged hour by hour of tuition and frequently got me off home early once I showed sufficient compotence. 

 

If your instructor etc has no feedback I'd suggest a different school. 

 

What did you fail on?

Done the test route in training before the test, done everything proper, it absolutely belted down with rain throughout, for some reason I wasn't hitting the back after with front so basically I tapped it 5 times in half hour, missed giving a signal, and distance from ftin vehicle been riding for years my nerves just had the best of me

I don't get what you mean?

 

Do you feel you've had enough time on what I'm guessing is a 600? 

 

If the main issue is nerves / bad habits after riding for years then it sounds like it's just a mental approach rather than actual ability. 

 

What further tuition has the riding school suggested if any? Straight back for a retest?

I have some lessons on a cb650r the package is well informed with great tuition etc, the er6f is the bike I bought, haven't used it yet only back and for the lockup, I think my abilities are acceptable otherwise they'd off more lessons, I think it could well have nerve, I shouldn't be so nervous for round 2 now I know what to expect, and he didn't see me using back brake enough that's what I meant bud

Ahh OK I getcha now. 

 

My only real advice is use every hour of riding in the days before your test to ride to test standard, no casual, chilled rides, full test criteria every ride till you get your licence. 

 

Best of luck
