Help! I failed my road test today?

I got 40 points taken off. Basically I only had 5 points off until the end when I was told to make a left at the next light. When I switched lanes, I had to wait for a car to speed up and pass me before I could get over and by then I had gone through the light. So the instructor told me to take the next left, which was not regulated by traffic lights, it was just a break in the median divider. So I was waiting in the break, and the cars going by were going 40 and it was hard to see them coming because there was a hill. So I began to tap the gas when there was a break in traffic, only to have 5 more cars come down the road and as I hit the brakes, the instructor said stoopppp, you have to let them go its their right of way. I got 10 points off for poor judgment in traffic, 15 for failure to yield right of way, and 10 for failure to anticipate actions of others. And dangerous action: examiner had to take control. Im not trying to make excuses here, but does it seem a tad bit excessive? I mean, 10 points less and I would have passed! I'm just frustrated any advice???
 
Sounds like your instructor had a really bad day even before getting in the car with you. Next time you take the test, request another instructor, or at least someone other than the one you had. Good luck.
