What is your experience and age? The older guys that have no idea what they’re getting themselves into, like the fact that they will have to fly airline procedures, have a tough time with it. Its not “hard” training at all it’s easy. It’s just for whatever reason the flows and airline procedures dont compute with some guys. The cases you hear of failing or dropping out are guys that can’t do an ILS with proper call outs or can’t do steep turns etc, I mean it’s not rocket science. Just do some of that pilot stuff and you’ll be fine.

The training is not designed to teach you how to fly a steep turn amongst other things, they expect you to be able to do it in a jet. That’s an example of what guys have a problem with. They expect to be given time to learn and practice these tasks. You just dont have enough time to be learning private pilot stuff during sim, you will run out of time.
