Did they give you an earpiece and follow you with a car?

Had to provide my own earphone. And yes examiner followed in a car.
One of my Bluetooth ear phone disconnected during the test, had to listen to instruction in just 1 ear  :o ;D

No earpiece when I did mine. Examiner just told me the route beforehand and then followed behind in a car.

Yup. My wife had to go to Banff to do hers. Can’t remember why.

The whole earpeice thing can be quite distracting. IIRC I got points off for riding too slow. I purposely drove 5 km/h under the limit. It was easier as you had time to react to the earpiece instructions.

I got docked points for putting 2 feet down at the stop sign cuz the road was weird angle,
And not proceeding thru unprotected left turn on yellow…. Though I would have in a car but it’s more scary to be in intersection waiting for traffic to die down to proceed left on bike…
