Think ahead, plan ahead, is essential.
As you progress up the ladder the aircraft gets faster the brain get slower.
Remember regardless of the speed, 1 minute is always 1 minute, so always tinink in terms of tiem and not distance or speed.
Whne on a flight, or worse still a check ride...if you are not busy you should be... there will never be a moments stillness on your check ride, check and double check...think ahead...... and perhaps the most important of all, ALWAYS revaildate ALTIMETER settings, at every critical moment.
If Single Pilot, I always talk to myself out loud,,, it is what you do when multiple crew...it does work, trust me, I am a pilot.
In general a test is failed not because you make a mistake, but because you either hope it was not spotted, and thus have got away with it. OR try to bluff yourself out of the problem.
Stay ahead and keep alive.
