Standard Dimensions for Skills Test

I just failed the basic skills part of my Texas CDL A test. Can someone tell me if the offset backing course is supposed to have standard dimensions? When I took my test it seemed the forward "wall" was WAY too close to the lanes I was required to offset back into. I was also told that I could not use a pull up until I had started to enter the lane I was aiming for.

After those first two blind turns, if you're not lined up perfectly, there was no room to adjust. And then even if there had been room for a pull up, you couldn't do it because I hadn't entered the lane yet.

How much room are we supposed to have between the front wall and the beginning of the lanes?
