I live in the UK so it's a little different here. You can accumulate minor and major faults depending on the severity of the mistake you make. 1 major fault is an automatic failure, but you can acquire I think 15 minors and still pass. I passed on my 2nd attempt. During my 1st I had to turn a really
really sharp bend which I wasn't really anticipating and I ended up mounting the curb which was obviously an automatic failure

For my 2nd attempt I only got like 2 minors which I consider a huge improvement.
I'd like to think I'm a pretty good driver.
