It's very unusual to have a total loss at any training level. Some people are chronic 200%ers. They require twice the level as what is normally allocated. Some will vapor lock occasionally but manage to stumble through. I would guess that the vast majority of pilots fall into that category. The company can be a pain but they do make an effort to get everyone through whatever training regimen they are involved in.
