Listen to rmcdonal, Fonz & Di Vosh.
I did the sim rides for nearly 8 years, and if there's any advice you should listen to, it's
memorise the thrust and attitude table you would have been sent by recruiting. While you'll be permitted to refer to the table during the SIMEX, to do so will just distract you from the primary task of flying the box. Memorise the data.
They're
not trying to trip you up in the SIMEX. They are looking for sound basic I.F. and good manipulative skills, with a demonstration of steady improvement as the SIMEX progresses. Yes, you'll make errors. Everybody does. It's not a big deal. It's how you recognise and correct those errors that counts. If necessary (and time permitting) the examiner
may give you tuition if a particular part of the sequence isn't going as well as expected. This in itself is not a fail, but an assessment of how you respond to training input. Think positive!
If you don't have glass (LCD?) experience, it would be advantageous to familiarise yourself with the Q400 layout as Fonz wrote. You
should be thoroughly briefed beforehand.
Remember the 6 P's. Prior Preparation Prevents P!ss-Poor Performance.
Good luck
