We use the same (pro) lab.

Ah ha! Right you are! He *does* do that, and I don't. Or didn't anyway....
I would occasionally get a clip test done but usually only if I blew it
when I shot some film at the wrong ISO, or if I was cross-processing
something new. But you are right, my instructor does "clip" on a regular
basis. And now I do too.

I called them a couple of weeks ago and got their mailers and price list. I
was interested in the Kodachrome work that they are famous for (which they
don't do anymore, by the way, they sold the old reliable machine and put in
a new one and can't get it to work, so they are now farming out all the
Kodachrome film that comes in.)
Thanks for the suggestions. It just changed the way I'll approach this
problem.
