Maybe this follows along with what you're talking about; most of the people going through school with me right now, including myself, agree that 5's exist in some mystical land with unicorns and fairies. We get most of them in the sim, and I pull the occasional one in the brief or for headwork. I haven't seen anybody I know get a five for a manuever (spin, POS, landing, loop, etc). Maybe everybody I know is just within standards on their best days, but I would like to meet the guy that IS getting 5's.
I got 5 or so 5s in contacts. One was for IGP reports. Guess I blew his mind with the sheer quantity and accuracy of my IGPs. I think I got 5 5's in one form flight, so yeah, just hang in there. Then when you get to jet school you won't feel good about yourself for at least the first six months.
For the record, I didn't get a single grade below MIF in primary, and I was just an average Joe in jet advanced most of the way. The light bulb did get to a dull roar near the end though which, strangely enough, is when I got my only down in all of flight school. Sometimes you have to go below the hard deck for a few seconds to take the shot.
