The skills test (the test they will be discontinuing on Tuesday) is all about low speed balance and braking, really. The best score is a 0, you can get up to 10 points before failing.
Starts off on the outside, you go in a straight line and make a tight corner without going over the line, you make another turn and make a controlled stop, your front tire has to stop inside a drawn square. Next, you have about 25 feet to accelerate to about 15-20MPH, then you cruise another 15 feet in a narrow box and stop as quickly as possible, you're measured on feet.
After that, you do it again, but instead of braking, you swerve to avoid 2 line boundaries. Next, you take a slalom, the cones (little cone markers, actually) are really tight, they tell you which side to start on and your feet cannot touch the ground, you then continue back around and make a tight U turn, once again, feet cannot touch the ground. after thay, I think you're done, I don't think there was anything after that.
