It's very rare for a candidate to present capable of doing the test straight off - I'm not in the habit of testing people I know are going to fail and I do try to be reasonably straight with the test. I'm satisfied when people
a) say they've learned a lot by doing the test and
b) I hear them on the radio subsequently being a lot more professional

Some of my students charged £150-200 for a some ground school and test. Four in a group, not bad for a days work. That's more than i pay myself for a months work as cfi of my own school. I'm in the wrong job. And how can test equipment cost 2k ?
