Passed as well. I made sure to not change gears mid turn/intersection, and always look to both sides (mirrors) every 8 seconds. Did mine in Hamilton, so last night I went out and checked out the possible routes at the ends of the highway section a few times. Made note of any tricky spots, and had my lanes/lines all ready.
I think I stopped on the white line once, due to signaling to turn in the wrong direction and then being corrected to go the other way before the turn. I also had to deal with a car coming off the shoulder that would force me to slow, or move over a lane. Since it was pretty clear I chose to move over, but this left me sitting in the middle lane for a bit till the right cleared up again. I would have had to speed up or really slow down to get back over sooner. Final move I noticed was I took a recommended 30 turn at 60 easily (end of centennial exit).
But when I got back, I asked if he noticed anything or had recommendations, and he said nope, I did great. Still gave me 10 deductions for things like signaling late, and a couple things I didn't turn my whole head to look at.
Overall riding the route and doing it like I was being tested beforehand, made me fairly relaxed, and focused when I did the test for real. Thanks all.

6 Years later, this thread is just as helpful - if not more so- since the day it was created!
I passed my M2 exit test a few weeks ago at the Burlington location
D) and figured it might be helpful for others if I posted the route:
BURLINGTON M2 EXIT ROUTE
Good luck everyone!

I'm not disconnecting mine unless they ask me.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone in this thread and especially to UltrA_09, whose map I used to successfully pass the Burlington test

Took my test in Guelph yesterday and passed. Only 6 points so good test. Thanks to this list for all the tips.
One point to share about Guelph: the freeway portion of the test is performed on the Hanlon Expressway which has a speed limit of 70 km/h. For anyone nervous of highway speeds or who, like me has an old bike with no windscreen and generally avoids 100+ speeds, this helped greatly. I could have done the main freeway but it was nice not to have to.
Good luck to everyone on their tests. Try to stay relaxed and move your head constantly!
Cheers

not an issue, once the fairing doesn't fall off during your ride, you should be good. Instructor might not see this fairing, or even try to notice it.
alright thanks! its a crack on the upper fairing under the screws of the right side, only thing holding it together is the windshield. been riding around like that for a while pretty sure it won't fall off..hopefully not during the test haha

Hey guys,
I just booked my M2X test in Aurora for early May, and I have a couple of quick questions (I'm sorry if these have already been answered, this thread is SO long, and sometimes hard to search)
1) What's the proper method for emergency road-side stop?
- signal
- shoulder/mirror check
- pull-over and stop
- bike in neutral, kick-stand down
- shut off the bike and get off?
- cancel signal
2) I also have a fender eliminator installed, and it has no side reflectors on the tail (stock ones still up front, though), will this be an issue?
3) when turning left from a stop, are you expected to stay in 1st gear all the way through the intersection? I find the bike is revving way too high (large intersections, i guess), so I usually get into 2nd, but I'll practice not doing this for my test if necessary
Thanks all

very cool...I'm doing mine through RTI in Guelph on the May 24 weekend.. I travel the Hanlon all the time...so that should be easy.. anyways..i have intergrated turn signals... are they ok during the test?
I just did my M2 Exit today at Oshawa and I passed. Got some marks off for going too slow on the onramp to the highway. I was just being overly cautious as I took the test on the 1000rr. There was a girl before me on a rented white CBR125R and she failed and said that the woman was really hard. I had the same woman test me and I had no problems with her.
Although, she did get stuck behind some traffic and didn't see me do the lane change on the highway. She also didn't see my turn signal since they were integrated so if you're worried about making too many mistakes, lower the chance of them not seeing your signals by bringing a bike with proper signals.

Passed my M2 today in Burlington, route is still the same as posted by Ultra_09 with some construction happening on Industry so slow down and be prepared to stop if flag people are present. Mike was my assessor, good guy. Ear piece communications was bad. Emergency pull over is on Stanley, on a bit of a slope so be aware. My biggest issues were proper blocking lanes in town and supposedly not merging quick enough on the hi-way.
