ChiSau,
You asked BlueRobin what he means about experience vs hours. Yes, you're right, you will get both at the same time, as long as you keep doing different things.
Spending an hour in the circuit is good practice, but never leaving the circuit isn't. Going to local area will give you hours, but not experience. Going to the local area and practicing PFLs, stalls and steep turns, and making sure you maintain your altitude to within 50' while flying between the airfield and the local area, will improve your experience as far as general handling is concerned, but not as far as navigation is concerned. I could go on, but you get the idea.
Good luck for the skills test!
