Yes, it does happen.

1) IMHO, it is a questionable test in certain regards
2) The easiest way to "fail" the test is by trying to beat it
That said, the easiest way to pass on the second attempt is by using the best techniques for the first:
- Read the question and select your initial thought and zip on to the next one. Key words like "always" or "sometimes" are important. Make sure you are honestly answering the actual question.
- DO NOT try to select what you THINK "they" want for an answer so don't overthink anything involved with this test.
- DO NOT try to go back and change answers upon "reflection" unless you made an obvious clerical mistake
The test is not scanning for perfect people so
honest responses from folks with "pilot personalities" will do well.
And yes, there is a certain % percentage of pilots that will take the test perfectly and fail because their scores are widely outside of the norm that UA is screening. In the long term, this probably does a favor for both UA and the pilot.
