For as long as I have been flying, which has been quite long, checkrides never allow do-overs. It holds true from private to atp, from add-on to type ratings (PIC). If you lose 120ft on a steep turn and the examiner overlooks it, that's one thing. Allowing you to do it again after losing 500ft is another.
