For me, the private was the easiest. I started when I was 13 though, so I had spent 4 years working on the same stuff over and over...I went into the checkride very confident, nervous of course, but after meeting the DPE prior to the checkride and realizing he was just another pilot who loved to fly I calmed down rather quickly. The oral was more or less of a conversation, laid back...he wanted to teach me, as much as pass me. I would highly recommend him, and would take a checkride with him anyday. Very fair guy.

The multi was pretty easy too, as long as you knew procedures well. The DE for that didn't care about the oral, he just wanted to see you could fly the thing. He was also very real world with his scenarios...if you were here, and this happened, what would you do. One of those that makes you think, v. "what does 'Vmc' stand for?"
