If you are not solo in, say 15 hours,
At first glance, those figures indicate you may have a problem. But in the current general aviation flying school environment, the 15 hour figure is meaningless for several reasons.

Firstly how often are you flying? Are you operating from a busy general aviation airport or a country airport? More important than everything is the competency of your flying instructor. With new instructors coming off the sausage machine lines with barely 250 hours total time, including instructor course, then it is often the case of the blind leading the blind.
