Default how many points did you miss on the msf course?

i just took my msf course this past weekend and had a really great time. Well worth what i payed for. i only missed one point . So how many points did everyone else miss when they took the msf course?

By the way i was wearing some alpinestar smx plus boots during the riding class and i just noticed today that i got little blisters on my leg just above my ankles. They are really small though i didnt notice it until today, anyone else had this problem?

I wanna say it was like 3 or 4... I messed up on the Figure-8 and kinda crossed the line on the curve where you have to accelerate through it.

Missed one from the figure 8, and one on the written, I do believe.

And mine was worth the whole $20.

man, i was so nervous when it was my turn to do the figure 8, it didnt really help either that i was the last one in line. i only missed one point because i slowed down too early before the right turn. I used a honda nighthawk the first day and then used the honda rebel the next day, as well as for the test. I liked the nighthawk a lot and hated the rebel.

I messed up the "right" half of the figure 8 test and got docked a point for not stopping hard enough.

I wear SMX too, no problems here but they fit properly.

I was actually awarded an extra 10 points for setting a new braking distance and turn speed record.
Missed one question on the written.

she basically told me i got 110% on the riding test, but i don't think you can actually get awarded more points for beating any records, i think she was just trying to express her pleasure with me. My instructors were straight bad asses. One of them did the figure 8 on a goldwing just to prove to us it's possible.
