The weathers perfect! get up and do it asap, I passed mine about a week ago and im sitting here waitin for my licence to arrive and its the worst waiting out of the whole thing!!

Being honest I was more nervous on the RT oral exam than my skills test. The skills test went really well and all I can say is plan and you wont have any probs. Its not like a driving test u just need to be safe and know the procedures which you will do or your instructor wouldnt put u up for it. Make sure u put the wind on your map and draw a compass with the wind directions and drift so on your diversion you can quickly work out the drift and what new heading to take up. Make sure your bag is behind you and spare pens ur wiz wheel, rulers etc in case u need them. See if u can get a plane that has the programable radio to put all ur on route frequencys in

Other than that relax, ull be supprised that u actually know all to do but u think you dont and u worry. I wrote the same thread as you askin what it would be like but ull be replyin to someone elses next week with your PPL

Enjoy it, in few weeks u can go up with friends
