Mine was split at the examiners suggestion due to the weather vis. being too poor for the nav section. So we did the GFT first which went well, even though we had to start with the circuit work straight off due to ATC slot timing. However, in retrospect I'm glad it happened this way, since on the nav a couple of days later I managed to cheerfully set the DI 20deg out the wrong way (i.e. 40deg, you know what I mean I'm sure) when aligning with the mag compass (pressure, what pressure..) before take-off
I managed to recover the situation along the way and the timings and diversion were fine, but it took a lot of focus not to throw it away, since I couldn't initially work out the problem (probably still making the same mental error when doing FREDA). My point is (got there eventually) that to then have had to carry on straight into the GFT would have been far more difficult with that extra pressure. Anyway, as everyone will have said relax, the examiner's primarily looking to see that you're safe, not perfect!
