As a couple of others have said, I found (and the trainer told me) they are watching how safety conscious you are.  Fill up before you start as leaving a tree with a wedge cut out to go and fill up will fail you, along with walking right close behind a tree you've started the back cut on (and obviously don't walk round the side of the tree that is coming down!)  Also once you've started the saw even with chain brake on dont be tempted to flex the chain to check tension.

My cuts weren't perfect, the trainer passed me as he saw I was aware of safety and what was going on.  He then said do you want to stay on for an hour or so after the test(which I passed) so I can show you how to improve your felling techniques.  If they see you're happy to learn that'll go a long way in your favour, not just 'I know all this stuff already'

Good luck you'll be fine
