Your instructor should have gone through this with you already!

It's not rocket science, but doing it yourself just before the test with no previous practice is likely to distract you somewat, as you'll need the POH for the aircraft you will be flying and the W&B data from its most recent weighing.

I'm guessing from your question that you've seen neither document before. The morning of your test is probably not the time to be introduced to them.

P.S. A whizzwheel AND a calculator might come in handy.

P.P.S. Having re-read your posting, I see that you are not just asking about W & B, so apologies if you know all about it already but are just unsure as to what the examiner will ask for on the day.

Since tests are booked in advance, get whoever books it for you to ask the examiner what he will want pre-flight. That way, you might get a clear idea in advance as to what tasks he wants. You might even ask what nav route he wants. If he is happy to say (mine was!) then you can plan much of the nav the night before the test.
