Here are the applicable items from my airline's guide:

The Check Airman will be evaluating the following:

Trainability
XXX Airlines requires the use of standard terminology during our flight operations. Many of these are listed in the following pages with quotation marks, such as “Gear down, before landing checklist”. Try to use the XXX phraseology whenever possible.

Instrument Scan
Most everyone will be off altitude, airspeed and heading to some degree. Keep your eyes moving, scanning the flight instruments and attempt to get back to where you should be as soon as possible after detecting a deviation. Don’t fixate on any one parameter and ignore another.

Situational Awareness
Know where you are relative to the airport and the approach in use. Know when to start configuring for the approach and landing. Your Check Airman may “freeze” the simulator to give you more time to brief the approach.

Judgement
Everyone wants to do a good job on this ride, and get the first approach in. Do not compromise safety by “ducking under” or trying to “save” a landing if you wouldn’t do it in real life. Remember; treat the simulator like you would the real airplane. Don’t do anything on this ride that you wouldn’t do in real life.

Hope this helps.

Good luck,
