It would be exactly the same - same structure - same dives - same skills - except this time it would be the exam.

Personally i think thats pretty much what it is now. You do the w/end and if you don't manage to get a lid on the skills straight away your offered the chance of a reassessment dive. If you do then you don't have to bother. That seems fine to me.
If its important to you to pass first go then I would recommend pre practice if you can sort out a mentor. If not then go and get shown the skills on the course and then practice in your own time and do the resit. Unless you have a mentor who happens to be a good teacher for the actual DIR skills its pointless trying to figure them out on your own. You can get still get a handle on trim and buoyancy control in the 6m zone before the course and frankly thats a must do.
There are some issues I have with the course but the pass fail provisional thing isn't one of them.
