Did you get as much out of the day as I did?

Absolutely. I went into the tests hoping to do well, but had considered the possibility of getting a poor grade. I also considered the advice of every commercial pilot I have ever met – that sheer bloody-minded determination is the thing that will get you through. Like most things in life, flying training is a combination of effort and ability, and the ratio of one t’other will always vary between individuals. As long as they combine to produce the result, job done.
Personally, unless I was judged to have the flying ability of a penguin, no test result was going to put me off.
