I think the irony here is that a failed 141 stage check and an AQP retrain aren't really failures. But fail your weight shift control sea rating and by god you had better report that!

OP, it doesn't matter how many checkrides you've failed. People who take more rides have more failures. It doesn't matter if you lie either. It probably wont affect your odds much, unless you're boldy stupid. But take some advice. When asked how many checkrides you've failed you need a number, a name, and a story for each one. Don't say "three maybe four". It sounds like you have a poor memory, don't care, don't learn, don't keep records. With that answer I'd imagine the type of guy who keeps a 10 inch layer of empty cheetos bags and soda bottles in the passenger seat of his car.
