I have spent the last 8 months doing nothing but IFR work to get as prepared as possible for Training. Basically you need to be able to fly IFR second nature without much effort so you can focus on the procedures and callouts. At least that is how I am preparing myself for class. I will let you know in a couple of months how it all works out..
