Some examiners don't care.

Others will just tell you your compass heading whenever you ask for

I always thought that was funny, since the hardest thing for me about

When I practiced compass turns I did it by looking at the mag compass,
even though I could see outside. The skill I was trying to learn wasn't
attitude instrument flying at that point.
