Depends on your instructor. My instructor focused completely on maneuvers and flows where I was never taught the FMS. I ended up having to get a spare sim because when I did my checkride I was unsure how to use several of it's functions. The computer trainers were broken and since my instructor didn't cover it I had no knowledge of it.
There's no shame in not making it. There is shame in working so long to make it this far then to quit.
