Work out a drift heading and fly it comparing with the gps how far off track you become. With a good heading, accurate DI and regular FREDA checks you will be amazed how in most instances you are close to, or on track. It will build up confidence in your direction keeping for when, mainly in the EDI zone for some reason, your GPS coverage drops out! Or for your CPL test when it gets taken away from you anyway.
