That's why people fail their type rides. There are so many small things you can get nailed for: from basic engine start procedures and taxi routes to abnormal procedures and decision making.
Sounds simple, but the fact that it's a type ride and the added pressure of the Feds watching over your shoulder and you have a recipe for a nervous pilot.
It's so much more than "just a steep turn".
