In the end of the day you have to sit your checkride and tests the same as everyone else. If you pass it, you pass.
This is true, however the sim rides only check basic manipulative skill (how well can you fly a sim), and airline procedures. Most sim sessions come with a briefing available to pilots well before the session allowing them plenty of time to figure out the best management of the session. This effectively removes the component of experience from the equation as it gives the pilot weeks to come up with a solution to a problem where in real life they would have seconds.
