Default Instrument flying checklist

As I am nearing my IFR checkride, I am planning on preparing a checklist for my kneeboard. In the midst of the stresses of IFR training, I keep making mistakes that could easily end up in a failed checkride. I am sure the solution is to carry a checklist. I want to build something that has a wealth of vital information I can carry on my kneeboard. If I could laminate it and keep it handy, not only would I be a doing everything I am supposed to do, but I am also certain I won't forget to identify a VOR station or depresses the marker beacon switch in an ILS approach during a nervous checkride.

Prior to setting up for an approach:

A - Atis, R- Radios, T - Tune, I - Identify, C - Course

ALT - Altitude DH or missed approach.

The 6 Ts of course can also be helpful. Although it seems like something that shouldn't include in a checklist, I have actually forgotten to turn, time, etc. in the midst of being stressed out...

Anything else that you ladies and gents could add would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
