Check rides - what is being assessed?

Hi all,

Could the seasoned pilots out there share some advice on how I can prepare for a check ride. What are the main items that an operator will be looking for? Are there any big do's and dont's?

Coming straight out of a flying school without any 'real world' experience makes me question, how different is it out there? Quite obviously the fundamentals don't change however are they looking predominantly for efficiency, safety, airmanship, people skills, certain techniques etc?? Having been taught by instructors who have never stepped foot outside of a flying school makes me think I could possibly be doing things the wrong way for the road I want to take.

Cheers
