No offense to anybody but keep in mind that your skill set is not based on experience but rather on whatever is retained from an ab initio course....with only a handful of ME time.
Not only that..your brain works at 90-120mph and not at 140-250mph.
Your processing speed will lag and trust me (from experience) it is a b!atch
Passing or failing is also a function of human factors.
My first jet type rating I was struggling on the Departure end, not the Arrival end.
I could fly an approach at 120 kts but struggled with 200kts climb at 4000 fpm.
More then once I blew right through altitude restrictions on a SID because my brain (processing speed) was too slow.
And that as after a lot...I mean a lot of piston time.
I'd shudder to think to do it all again but this time with only 10-12 hrs ME.
