Any tips for learning to shift without clutch

Raising an old post but new question along same lines. Last drive test I took was 1994 in a crown bus pancake motor with a 10 spd. I enjoyed the ugly old bus more than the new MCI boxes. First day i clutched till I got the hang of it and then it was all floating (or speed shifting for the racers). When I went to test, the CHP took me all the way to the end then said go around one more time with the clutch or I have to fail you. I passed with a 100 minus the clutch. I did fine on the second round with only one grind.

So out here in the mid west in a new age do you have to clutch or float to pass? I am sure the school will also chime in but trying to think which to practice the most. I am a bit stale and have not driven either now for almost 15 years. Sure a really big bike but If I worry about serious stuff I will never make it. So far good advice here from both old and new.

Double clutch is how the test require it.

 

Listening to La Grange makes you want to drive fast!
