The rating ride went well. As always, there were some things I could've done better, but as long as I earn a passing grade, I'm satisified.
The only critique I received on the V1 cut is that I didn't rotate fast enough. The main gear skipped on the runway a little bit, but directional control was not a problem and I was within 10 knots of target speed during the initial climb (V2+10).
Thanks again to everyone for the advice. I believe we can call this thread a success because my Pilot Certificate now says B-747-4.
