Practice Makes Perfect?

An old expression states, "practice makes perfect." However, many have remarked that the expression doesn't hold true. Only perfect practice makes perfect some would say. I ran across an article today that made me question the validity of "practice makes perfect." A woman attempting to get her drivers license has taken the driving exam 771 times--and still hasn't passed. Maybe practice doesn't make perfect. Her example should both encourage and inform us. It can encourage us not to give up. But it should also inform us to add diligent (and correct) study to our hard work and determination.
