Different airlines like to see different things. But generally:
1. They aren't looking for you to be an ace. A basic but good level of handling is what they want. Remember, all aircraft fly according to the same principles whether a PA28 or 747.
2. They are also looking to see if you are aware of where you are. This may be the first high performance aircraft (sim) you have handled. Stay aware and don't try to join the localiser at 250kts!
3. Apply good CRM with your fellow victim or sim instructor. An emergency is likely to see how you interact with the other guy. My last sim ride (in an unfamiliar type) had an engine fire. you won't know the drills - just ask him to action, you monitor his selections. A nasty trick could be for the instructor to put his hand on the wrong fire handle. My last airline - when assessing ex fast jet pilots - fails the main AI. The answer to this is to hand over control to the other pilot. It's amazing how many don't!
4. Don't screw up!
Good luck,
