It loses me on here sometimes, it really does, Contact tower, when did I learn Brakes are OFF, Undercarriage is FIXED, Mixture is RICH, Pitch is Fixed, Flaps, Fuel is on sufficient, FUEL PUMP IS ON, Altimeter is SET, DI is aligned, engine t's and p's are within limits, carb heat on, hatches and harness landing light is on.... ready for my first land away and with no need to reference a written checklist and also carrying out the actions, it was of course whilst flying circuits. 
It is pretty obvious I wouldn't have managed that lot when under the stress of my first land away at a new airfield without going over it in the circuit a few times.
Even worse having to do that lot at a strange airfield and navigate and do the radio and look out for other traffic--thats exactly why I have simple pre-land checks.
All your other checks are completed as Airfield Approach Checks normally FREDA. The time to set an altimeter is before you join a circuit not in it, same with the DI.
