On the panic stop, don't go into it faster than you need to - I did that because I wanted to make damn sure I wasn't going too slow, and I was going a little faster than I thought and overshot it slightly. Just try to make sure you have the right speed, and be OFF the throttle juuust as you cruise into the the braking area.

Don't worry too much about it - after the practice you get, it's pretty hard to fail the test because you'd have to mess up completely on practically every skill (from what I remember). You can "half" screw up on multiple skills, and you'll be ok. If you do one thing, make sure you don't drop the bike during the test!! (esp. on the figure-8...if you have to go outside the line vs. possibly dropping the bike, go outside the line)
