Really don't know where I went wrong. I feel I drove better today than I did the first time yet got a worse score.
30th June: Test 1 - 1M, 1D
5th July: Test 2 - 13M, 4S
Really don't see how I accumulated all of that.
Examiner was a grumpy old ******* who examined me super harshly.

I failed my first test, but did pass the second time a few weeks later.

Have you and your instructor been driving the test routes?

My instructor told me to book my test for 8.30ish when the roads are at their busiest, (test centre was in town) so the examiner would be forced to avoid such areas. Sure enough that's what happened for me, and I did my test in an area I regularly practised in.

I know it's very disappointing when you fail, but don't give up

This actual test was conducted at a different centre that I'd rarely been around. It was probably due to lack of awareness and a grumpy examiner. He was just looking to fail me at any opportunity.

Well it might be worth considering what I suggested. I had 1 major and a few minors. Second time just 2 or 3 minors. I knew the route really well lol. Worth bearing in mind

I personally think regardless of the route I was extremely hard done by. I deserved to fail, yes. But it's extremely discouraging to rack up that amount of minors and majors.

This is why I suggest taking your instructor with you, he can identify where you went wrong, and if needed, dispute the test in your favour to get your money back and retake with a different examiner.
