You may be interested to know that the Wx minima 'recommended' for VFR skill test/check/assessment are:

Visibility: Generally >6 km, but not <3000m
Cloud: Nav - generally >1500' agl but not <1500', stall not <2500'.
Wind: Max 30 kt, within aeroplane X-wind limits.

The first thing the examiner should do after meeting and greeting you is to establish the general picture and assess whether it looks good enough to fly the Skill Test. Your RF/FTO order book should contain defined weather limits for student flying; there should be NO QUESTION of a pre-PPL 'applicant' making the go/no-go decision unless the examiner has already decided not to fly and is leading you through the decision making process for your education. If you can't fly the test, you might have to stump up for the examiner's reasonable travel expenses, but NOTHING ELSE!!
