CFI Ride
CFI initial is the most often failed ride. How about some tips for passing it on the first try.
I heard if you do CFII as your initial you get the option of using a DE rather than an inspector, which is supposedly good.
Another one I heard is go to a FSDO where the pass rate is reputed to be higher. This one is hard to put substance to since the actual FSDO pass rates are confidential.
