The more experience you have, the easier it becomes. That's kind of the point, to test experience. In a few years you will look back and the test will seem like kids stuff. You won't belive how hard it was.

Practice, practice, practice. Lots of seat time...
The more second nature riding becomes, the easier it will be.

Alright, should i just go up their and give it a shot tomorrow just for the hell of it? 10$ i get 3 tries all together so if i bomb it the first time i can come back whenever i want and try it 2 more times. I really just want to go for a long long cruise but i cant by myself because of the dumb law..

"Have to ride with someone, so if i hit a deer he can watch me do it." Stupid....

Go somewhere and practice test like conditions. I'm not sure what your states test consists of, our is riding a tight circle, but it's best that the test not be the first time you've tried it.
Many take the MSF course for learning reasons and usually waives the DMV test.

Is this your test?.....

in many states, passing the MSF course allows you to get the MC endorsement from the DMV -- check into it. It's much more enjoyable, informative and educational than simply trying to pass the DMV test anyway.
