Where I come from they told me, no refunds, no retests. Pass or fail. I failed too.

Dude, that sucks.... but look on the bright side, it cost me £160 to retake my motorcycle test (including refresher course, and bike hire)

My wallet still whimpers at the thought

Up here you can go to eh DMV and arrange to challenge the test. You'll do slow speed parking lot stuff for the tester (weaves, figure 8 etc) then he'll follow you in a car along a described route to see if you can handle th bike in traffic.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Hang in there & don't give up!

(It costs about $400 for the course here plus $30 for the test - ouch!)

no one in my class here failed, but our instructor told us before the test that if we did, we could reschedule to retake for the next weekend with no charge. keep you head high man, don't give up!

My instructors said the same thing. We had the ability to retake the test the next weekend free of charge. If not, they would probably have some lovely lawsuits to deal with.
