Glush is spot on. There is no substitute for experience, practicing in all wind conditions gives you a feel of the glide distance over the ground. A good pilot feels part of the aeroplane, the more you practice the more natural it feels. Examiners understand that students will be nervous and realise that they may slightly misjudge the landing. A little tip best best to have a slightly high approach than a low one, height can be shaved off by steep gliding turns up to 45 angle of bank, however don't forget to add about 10 knots to your gliding speed. Another tip don't be put off if you make some minor mistakes in the skills test, if you do, let the examiner know where the errors were made, he/she will at least appeciate that you are making the necessary corrections. Good luck and let us know how you got on.
