Failure is a part of life. Shame on their instructors though for putting them up when they weren't ready. I spend the year before the test getting a student ready so that they are ready for anything. Last year at winter camp my guy had a 40 minute shodan test (20min ukemi/20min test). He was ready for it and still had some in the tank when he was done. You gotta be prepared for whatever they throw at you.
Oh yeah, three of our guys tested last year.
I still hear about the 40 minute tests. We clocked this years' test at 9 minutes. Some one told us that 40 minute test were going to be the new standard,... but never under estimate the call of spaghetti dinner!
