Actually, these are two different things. Lots of people pass check rides and fail at the moment of truth...the NTSB files are full of this.apcooper said:Mattpilot hit the nail right on the head. You'd better be able to deal with and overcome the nervousness associated with checkrides because if you ever have to deal with an engine failure over hostile terrain at night in a single (or even a twin) you'd better not panic and know what to do.
Lots of other people are nervous at checkrides and fly the plane very well.
You're talking apples and oranges and yes, I have been on both sides of that fence.
