I agree with the advice given though that honesty is the best policy here.

FLYR,
A very long time ago, when I interviewed with a major airline, they asked - "Have you ever failed a check ride?"
I got the feeling they didn't care whether the answer was yes or no. They did however, want a story... We all learn from our failures.
