Default Your test - how many attempts?

So, what with a couple of people i know of not getting through first time, it got me thinking. How many people actually manage to get through first time?

Poll coming up...

U turns errrrrgghh, 4th time lucky for me. I had a clean sheet every time apart from the u turns...nerves got the better of me each time.
On the 3rd attempt the examiner said he really wished he didn't have to fail me, but the u turn....
on the 4th I told the examiner I was very nervous and what the previous one had said, he asked if I had the previous test sheeo on me and i showed him...he said you'll pas today love, and he took me on a road for my u turn so big you could turn a jumbo jet on it...what a nice man, I gave him a huge hug when he passed me
I haven't really done a u turn since, until recently that is, my confidence with Suzy is very high at the moment and i have been trying them again and am slowly winning.....4 years on!!!!
