I personally do not know about this testing site, and I don't know for sure what these people said about it is true... but sometimes it can indeed happen that a certain testing site will have strict testers and they can fail people if they dont reach " their standards" to pass.
I'd maybe consider taking the test somewhere else just in case what they said is true. You want to give yourself the best possible chance at passing and if this place has a tendency to fail people you sure don't want to be part of that statistic if you can help it.
I know from my own experience that the testing site can make a difference whether you pass or fail. On one of my skills I missed a big item. Matter of fact the tester had to stop me and remind me of something before I could proceed. Right then and there I thought I had failed. But I focused on the rest of the skills and did not make any other mistakes. I still thought I failed though but was surprised that she passed me. I was so excited that I went to her and thanked her so much for passing me. I said because of my mistake I thought for sure I failed and she said oh no we let you have a few mistakes.
Anyother person testing me might have and could have failed me for my mistake. So sometimes it can make a differance as to who is testing you

I tested there and passed on my first try. The majority of my class passed. There was a few that failed but out of those some didn't pass the written portion. It's nerve wrecking but if you have been practicing your skills you will have no problem ☺ï¸
