I don't know where you're from, but in the driving school I went to in Portugal most people failed their first exams. They asked for a lot of parking manouvres and were harsh on every error. The purpose was to force you into buying more lessons, which you had to do if you wanted a second examination. My second test was way easier, and everyone I knew there failed the first one.
