Learning what to practice, what your weaknesses are, and the correct way to practice, is what you should expect. If you have to come back for a re-test to actually pass, that's a good thing: That means you did not fail, but you have time to put your new learning into practice, and get things dialed in properly before progressing to the point where you can really get yourself into trouble.

First off thanks for everyone taking the time to write out your responses.
Taking the class for a few different reasons, mainly a lot of stuff I want to see/ dive is not a rec. limits. And im on of those people when I start something I like to learn everything and aspect of it.
I would love nothing more than to find an instructor that is not scared to fail people and is hard on his students. I have gotten a few suggestions on this site on who to take/ not to take, so ill look into them in a few months when im closer to being ready.
