On the ground we discussed the situation and my CFII told me that he
likes to be aggressive with the unusual attitudes in order that I can
handle the worst cases. He also said the CE he uses likes to do the
same. Rather than cancel the checkride, his recommendation was that
one of us briefs the DE that I have low negative G tolerance. I don't
know how I feel about this, it seems like a cop-out to be quite
honest.


Boy, that could be trouble if the DE decides that he's going to test your
tolerance in light of that.

My chief instructor for instrument and commercial made a point to do unusual
attitude recovery every time we turned home from dual instruction. For
some people it comes instinctively, but for me I might have lucked out with
a couple of instructors who loved to do them.

If partial G forces trouble you then it might be worth doing them several
times with your eyes open so you can physiologically condition yourself so
that it's easier to prepare pyschologically.
