Partial IR retest

I did my innitial IR skills test a few days back, and got a partial pass. Not the end of the world, could have been worse.

Overall I thought I had a good flight, It was a long one 2.3 hours in a DA42, as when I got to y destination East Midlands, there happened to be an aircraft that was lost and was not in contact with EM. So got 25 inutes of radar vectors

All went fine until I got back to Cranfield and I entered the hold, I did a parallel entry instead of a direct, there was only 10 degrees diff, hold and approach were fine.

So y question is how many people have done a partial. I am real nervous now, as been told if I mess that up, I have to do the whole test all over again.

Does it happen? I know people don't like talking about failures, but its just one of those things
