I found the sim session with realsimulation useful to get to grips with the SID for the assessment, and for the general handling qualities of a jet. As it is a 200 it is different to the 300 EFIS version I eventually did my assessment in, and in that respect it didn't help a great deal. If you are in the 200 at EMA you should be ok though.
What the sim practice didn't do, and probably had a negative effect on my performance as viewed by the examiner, was the fact that they don't know exactly what the SOP's are for the assessment, or the exact way in which you are expected to fly the procedure. You will tend to fly the way you were shown in the practice which may not be what they are looking for. Just be aware of this on the day.
My assessment wasn't for Ryanair so it may be different with them.

I believe that when the 200 goes offline it will be a permanent thing and all assessments will then be on the 800.
