Hi,
Yes a bit of practice would be common sense before another Initial EASA test.

The biggest problem I can see for this new FAA to EASA IR route,is getting the test done in UK before the April deadline. I have now contacted 4 of the largest UK ATOs and asked for a test,with varying negative results.
1 We haven't got the training manuals back from the CAA. ?
2 We only test our own school candidates.
3 We only do test in conjunction with a Type Rating.
4 Would have to do the test in their aircraft, after some hours for checkout and test preparation. After pointing out that EASA don't require further training if suitable experience has been obtained, said you don't need an ATO then, just call CAA to allocate an Examiner.
I'll try the CAA next.
