Hi gflynt,
Former FSI/SAV instructor here. Check ride is very straight forward, most likely in MEM. If so the circle (easy with the planeview avionics) will be LOC 27 circle 18R. Airwork is a snap with the HUD flight path vector. You instructor will have you well primed for the examiner.
Have you flown Gulfstream products before? Have glass experience? If so it will be easy. If not, it will be a bit steeper but still doable. I have 8 types and think the G450/550 is the sweetest ride out there. Once you get used to the HUD it will be a breeze to fly.
PM me for more if you wish...

Theres no "gouge" - your employer paid 30-50K for your training.
Language/culture are the only reason I have ever heard of anyone failing or needing extra training. They teach to the lowest of low level.....and that likely (you hope?) wont be you.
If you fail a FSI checkride, you really dont belong in any kind of aircraft.

Some alternate considerations are warranted here.
If someone gets "check-itis," or has an ********* examiner, or is having a bad day in general and subsequently fails a checkride; this is in no way a correlation to "not belonging in any aircraft."

and "check-itis" or an "********* examiner"..??....makes me question if that poster has ever even been to FlightSafety.
