In accordance with FAA Order 8900.2 (Examiner's Handbook), there are (3) Three Possible Outcomes of a Practical Test:

1. PASS- Issue FAA Form 8060-4 (Temporary Airman Certificate)
2. FAIL- Issue FAA Form 8060-5 (Notice of Disapproval of Application)
3. DISCONTINUANCE - FAA Letter explaining the(typical) reasons:
-Maintenance issue with the Aircraft
-Applicant gets sick
-Adverse Weather

Applicant gets credit fror any tasks satisfactorily completed, and must finish the test within two calendar months (used to be 60 days).


Sounds to me like there was no documented "Unsatisfactory" on your Commercial Practical Test. If you were not issued FAA Form 8060-5 "Notice of Disapproval of Application" then you did not "fail" the Practical Test.

Now for the "Sidebar", it sounds to me as though your examiner did not administer a "correct" Practical Test. Here's why:

FAA Order 8900.2 specifically prohibits "stopping the test" prior to completion in order to permit the applicant further study/training!

That is not YOUR problem, it is the examiner's problem. That type of unprofessional examiner behavior is what gets their designation terminated by the FAA.
