In any case, make sure you're 100% done with studying before you travel to Florida, and try to pass all exams in the first week. If you consistently pass the confuser/perfector/simplifier sample exams with about 80% or more, you should have no problem with the real exams.
Agreed.

It's definitely making sure your studying is done before you get to Florida. Otherwise you may find yourself spending a huge amount of your time cramming books when you aren't flying.

do you have any advice to give me to best face the training?
Because you're flying in American airspace, it's worth noting differences between local American procedures and standard ICAO procedures. Then finding out differences between ICAO and Belgium, for example.

Just to illustrate, in the US, a request to transition Class-C and Class-D airspace is implicitly granted upon establishing radio contact unless advised otherwise. In the UK, an explicit clearance is needed. So you must hear the phrase 'Transit approved' or similar. Hearing 'Radar contact' is not sufficient.

It is possible that some of your American instructors would have limited experience of European flying.

Otherwise, all the best and have many great flights!
