Sometimes you spend a lot of time teaching them things they should have known as a private pilots, rather than super duper instructor stuff. I had one candidate who, on his checkride, didn't know how to tell if a sectional was out of date. Amazingly, he passed.
Sometimes their flying proficiency isn't up to PPL standards, either, and that makes it tough when they're anticipating only 10-15 hours in the airplane.
