You can be "trained to proficiency" on a checkride. Let's say you bomb your flapless landing. You can leave checkride mode and enter training mode where you can work on what you did wrong and get proficient again. Then you reenter checkride mode to recheck that item and demonstrate that task satisfactorily. You can do that on 2 different items, and if you bust a third item then your ride is unsat. Also, if you bust the "recheck" of an item then your ride is unsat, even if it was the first item you goofed on.
So to sum it up, your ride is unsat if you bust 3 items, or 1 item twice.
