Interesting One9iner.
May I ask where and when you did your skill test? You're describing about double the emergencies content of mine.
Certainly my experience was of being taught to pass the test (with a substantial amount of school "examiner spotting") - to the extent that as a 1000+ hour pilot when I did my CPL I really did feel that all that I genuinely got out of it was a massive improvement in my precision nav / flying.
