Your quiz answers are close but need a lil bit of work.

Let's start with the one that is giving you the trouble. Try this next time you're out;

See your markers for the line you selected for a given corner
Set your entry speed
Turn the bike onto the desired line through the corner
After steering is complete and the bike is on line, then start your throttle roll (this can happen before apex )

Basically when you roll, your taking weight off the front and transferring it to the rear. Doing this while turning doesn't feel very pleasant for most riders. A lil bit more weight on the front for turning should give you a good and planted feel for your turn in (steering inputs), not to mention keeping some weight off that saggy rear.

Go give this a try at a pace your comfortable with, and then try the quiz again.
