I remember the same sim ride all those years ago, and back then they came 'round every three months in AN
I agree with the above comments, and have to say that there is nothing worse than a colleague stepping out of the sim centre with his chest puffed up thinking he aced the session, even though he was total crap.
You will soon learn that there are few different crash-buddies you will share the sim with: The ones who are ill prepared and drag your performance/score down. Those who blitz everything and even make you look better than you could ever achieve on your own. But mostly they are just the same as you and have put 'some' effort in to getting ready for the session then leave thinking it could have gone better.
Just to lighten things up, as you walk out of the sim, ask the checkie: "Am l still doing that crappy (Insert company's worst pairing) trip tomorrow?"
