I got lucky on this topic, my initial was with a DPE and not the FSDO, and my guy was pretty reasonable about the whole thing. Actually, considering how hard teaching actually is when you know a little about it, it is amazing anybody passes with zero experience teaching.
I'd have to go next door to see if they have statistics for this (or guidance), but deviating by a few % points is quite different than a particular office having a 20% pass rate for instance!
