Torque, I guess your just been a bit friendly sarcastic there.
Dont worry too much about failing or partialing an IR test, many people do it, its the toughest one to pass as if you get it wrong its the best way to kill yourself flying an aircaft, most ratings are a licence to learn, even as a new IR pilot your unlikely to take off in minimum weather just for the crack as you know yourself your not up to it yet, just like doing a type rating, your with a line trainer for the first 8 weeks or so even though your rated its a big deal to fly initialy, all the guys interviewing did the same route you did and started in 152's etc and so will give you a break on that provided you impress in other areas.
get it passed, study hard for the interview should you get one and good luck
