I see from your profile you’re prior military, so this statement surprised me. Any failed UPT check could be the first of about 5 rides from the end of a military flying career. I found them pretty darn stressful.
I only ever took one GA check (for SE add-on to my commercial ME ticket) long after I was an IP/SEFE in multi-engine heavies, so admittedly the stress level was far less.
