you fail if you roll back at all? or just if you roll back a significant amount?

Sorry should have said, you fail if you rollback a significant ammount, you have to show that you are in control of the car at all times, they could also fail you if you kept stalling the car while doing this too.
That said, I did mine 20 years ago, it may have changed now, but I doubt they made it any easier.

i was gonna say, no rollback is pretty hard. there nothing really unsafe about 1-2 inches of rollback when starting on a steep hill.

I agree with what many others have all ready said.Use the E brake and practice till you learn the car.I live in Utah and drive in the Mnts and they get up to 9000 + above sea level.Every manual I've ever owned was diff and took some time to get use to
