I did the courses for the M1 exit and M2 exit. The only reason I went for the M2 exit was because I wanted a guaranteed pass. I lined it up nice. My license was expiring a few days after I completed the course
M2 exit -> Full M

This is so accurate. I ended up selling my last bike, and had an expiring M2 with no bike to take a test. I let it expire, then over a decade later, starting from scratch in terms of motorcycle license history. Hindsight, I should have gotten my full M while I could.
In 2004 when I was going for my M2 at Humber College there was this guy who had the M2 for 5 years and let it expired and now was back at the college paying $450 and starting from zero again. Get you "M". I got it at Downsview with the Ministry, the place that fails the most people in all of the GTA and everybody is scared to book it there.
If money isn't a big deal, then I'm a fan of taking the course. I think I had around 150,000km of seat time when I took my M course and there was a couple bad habits I had picked up which the course exposed. And changing those habits have literally saved me from being hit by unattentive or distracted drivers.
I also did well on the M test and was asked to become an instructor, which turned out to be an amazing experieince.

I didn't pay for a college course for the M, I paid the course for the M2 because it's obligatory.
LOL I failed the "M" exam in 2005, being an expert rider. At Downsview. These were my errors:
1. Stopping too closely behind cars at traffic lights.
2. Riding too slow (I thought speed limit was 50, it was 60 km/h on Sheppard Ave W)
3. TTC bus was stopped and I went around it and it took off almost hitting me.
4. Slowed down crossing railroad tracks that had warning lights and barriers (why did you slow down for?)
Waited months for next try and got the same Filipino strict examiner. I passed flawlessly knowing what errors NOT to do.
Happened to me. With 2 weeks for my M2 to expire I booked an appointment and then a damn MTO workers strike took place, lasted more than a month. Thank God the Province extended the expiry date on those that were going to expire during the strike.
This would be a lovely and smart idea, don't know why they won't let you do that?
Its like getting your MBA right after undergrad, lots of book smarts, sorely lacking in street smarts. You want time on the road before you do m2x test.
