I strongly agree to let the evaluator know what you are doing. I did mine in 94 on the DC-8..No prep at all, I was set up on a dogleg to final. The evaluator said, "your jet" I reached for the speed brakes/spoilers and he laughed (The DC-8 has none, airborne) he then asked what are you going to do? This is where they are evaluating you thought process, I told him I'd ask for extended vectors or a 360 to lose altitude, He said "good". then setting up for an ILS I had no approach plate. When I asked for one he said he didn't have it but what was the information I needed? again he was delving into my thought processes. Also a few guys had a real ugly time in the sim, but they were hired. Big Picture-----I think they are looking at how you think/react under stress and they don't expect you to fly a perfect jet. On a final note He asked me how I thought the approach went? (I "S-turned" on the localizer throughtout the approach, but flew it well enough to land) I admitted I "S-turned" too much and when he asked why I told him my current jet was less roll sensitive than the DC-8 (If you could believe that) and I was used to more roll inputs. He said He was impressed with the answer. I was hired after about 5 weeks in the pool, started early 95
hope this helps

I did mine in the 767 FBS, and it definitely helped doing some Microsoft FS on my computer beforehand. Last week they were using the 72 sim alot, although this week it's busy with training.
