Relax like it's a normal ride,place both feet on the ground is a biggy when stopped,and use mirrors,indicators on and off,but relax and enjoy.Check all lights work.

I'm not sure if they mark you down for it or not, I think it is more a thing of making it obvious that you have come to a complete stop. etc

good luck, but I'm sure you will do fine

Some guys say it counts against you,others say it doesn't,mate had no problems sitting his full but was 40yrs old,only put 1 foot on ground,tester said some regard it as not being in control of bike,i.e bike can fall over if rider is unbalanced,then a car runs over rider.Bit ott to me,but suppose it could happen in strong wind,pretty rare though.

You dont have to place both feet down when you stop. I asked the testing officer before my test, and he said 1 is fine.

Yep pays to ask first,some expect both feet on ground,similar to both hands on the wheel in a car,and don't answer the bloody phone,(heard a friends' cousin did that doh),1 hand on wheel,answered phone and wondered why the tester stopped the test.
