I haven't been in a testing situation, but whenever I mess up a technique or balk, my partners and senseis almost always say "Just continue the technique, any technique, and we'll get it right next time." The tests I've observed have been pretty relaxed "try it again" kind of atmospheres.

I guess hesitating in practice would lead to hesitation in tests and real-life situations as well. That's one of the things I do alot, and need to work on a lot--not balking when an attack catches me by surprise.
