Hi everyone,
I just took and passed my M2 exit test this morning and I got a lot of tips from this site, so I thought I would share my experience, my own tips, and also the route that I was taken on in case this helps anyone locally that may be taking this test. I was on a Harley with loud pipes and you can hear the instructor clearly through the headset provided. I brought an ear plug for the other ear to ensure I could hear clearly.
This is the route I was taken on:

Tips:
-Do a shoulder and mirror check when you are on your bike at the begging of your test
-Be obvious with all shoulder & mirror checks
-For changing lanes remember: Mirror, signal, shoulder, mirror, proceed
-When stopped at a stop sign or light do traffic/mirror checks
-While riding do mirror checks every 10 seconds
-At stop signs/lights left foot on the ground, bike in gear, right foot on the rear brake at all times
-Feet up on your pegs early with less than 3 feet forward roll
-Scan for threats at intersections, parking lots etc
-Watch your speed
-No braking while cornering
-No gear changes while cornering
-For emergency stop, mirror, signal, shoulder, mirror. Come to a complete stop. Put on your 4 ways. Turn off the bike, turn the wheel to the left, dismount. They will tell you to proceed. Start the bike, 4 ways off, mirror, signal, shoulder, proceed.
-Watch your lane positioning and ensure you on the correct track.
