Some MSF courses are taught alittle different.
It really depends on the instructors that teach and evaluate the class.
I took it twice, once voluntarily about 5 years ago, and a second time, involuntarily (marine corps order) a few months ago.
Grading, strictness, and level of difficulty were different from the two courses.
However, we were never told the "fail automatically" if you drop it during the test rule. I guess some instructors evaluate the test differently.
Yeah, I agree riding isnt for everyone...cause not everyone has common sense and coordination.
