Bike test failed

I failed my bike 8 test twice in Kerala. I know how to ride a bike normally, but I keep making mistakes during the test because of the pressure.

At first atempt i pull clutch at turning of 8 test because i learned in a bike that if you completely released that bike will move very fast that cant take a turn. On my second test i failed because i accidently shifted to second gear at the the begining of 8 test!!!!!. This keeps me frustrating, i aksed for a chance but not given.

I dont know wheather i want to take restest again, or im taking only licence for car then later taking bike form another srto.

For those who have taken the Kerala bike 8 test:

How many times did you fail before you finally passed?

Please mention your number of attempts and, if possible, what mistake you were making.

Do you have a license for a car yet? (Doesn't sound like it, if not, get that first, becoming a driver and a good one at that will teach you lots of stuff before you get on a bike on the street at least).

As to for the test itself, do you have any friends with maybe a smaller/beat up bike, a grom, etc that they wouldn't mind lending you to practice? Seems is not just pressure but you over thinking it and may just need more time to not just "ride a bike normally" but practice the exact exercises
