Im not far behind the farmer meself, just doing the navigation thing right now, but the thought of the skills test coming up so fast is kinda daunting. Hopefully it goes as well as my driving test (relaxed, easygoing, NOT stressful) and its over before I get brain drain.
Just did a search Farmer and came up with this thread: Skill Test!!!!!!!!! Lots of useful info, unfortunately BRL's search isn't working for me..

Just remember, the examiner is not out to fail you, he (or she) is there to check that you're a safe pilot in good weather.
Thanks for that Flock1

At school, teachers always used to mark you down, and put more than the usual amount of pressure on you so that when the exam came, you wouldnt feel so bad. Driving instructors try and distract you while youre on a test to see if you can cope with all your mates chatting away at you in your ear while your driving down pub. Flight examiners ... maybe, but in those circumstances it would be awfully mean to try and 'break' the driver at 3000'? I guess it makes sense to know that youre a competent pilot and that you won't crack if you get pressured.

Best of Luck!
