...- What helped me alot is to talk yourself into maneuvers (explaining the examiner what is going on, etc)
- Dont forget to do clearing turns before any procedure
- Before you do the flight, do some chair flying or envision the flight and go through every procedure on your head (believe me this will help)
- The big one Theres no need to rush! take your time, think it through.
- If you dont like the approach (short/soft field, normal ), dont land-go around - thats how I fail my first time ( last maneuver before I was homefree and I blew it by rushing myself overshooting my short field, so learn by my mistake)

Thanks for the advice. I have the plane that I will be using Monday scheduled for a few hours on Sunday. That way I can get some time in it and also some last minute polish.
Good gouge on going around if it isn't working. I will indeed have that in my mind for the short field rather than forcing it down.
