I actually did take the MSF, the one by Apex. I did a lot of parking lot practice and the dreaded "Box" u-turn exercises on my own (I can now do 15 ft u-turns in an 18 ft by 20 something box whenever I want. :D U-turns officially mastered.) Most of my riding has been on neighborhood or not so busy roads with my dad. The downshifting I wasn't sure on. Thank you.
