Anyone find that they’re more lenient on the second driving test?

Hi guys! I just failed my first driving test for driving more towards the middle of a tight residential road with no lines, and got my second one coming up on Monday. A lot of my friends have failed their first one as well and said that the instructors are much more lenient on the second one, but I’m not sure if that’s true or just a placebo thing?? Anyone have experience with that?? Thanks in advance!
