If its the same as my sim assessment, the sim ride is basically a check of your ability to learn, rather than your current flying skills. You'll have a briefing with an instructor, probably have to fly a pattern, and then a debrief where the instructor will tell you where you went wrong and how to improve. You will then fly the pattern again, or at least a similar one maybe with a few variables thrown in. This is your chance to shine, and show the instructor than you picked up on his points and can show improvement.
Its not like a BA sim ride where emergencies are thrown at you left right and centre, and you don't have to fly to an exceptional standard. Just keep level headed, competent and for God's sake, listen to the instructor! You shouldn't really have any problems if you made it this far, but at the very least you'll walk away with the experience of a basic sim check.
Good luck!

How did people find the sim then? Got a little distracted by the G1000 during my GH, but think my ILS wasn't too terrible. Guess its a wait and see thing.
Hope to see you all at the next stage.

I had the same problem, too much head in the cockpit during the GH for me. Hopefully my ILS redeemed me and I'll be there in a couple of weeks. Nice chatting to you all yesterday.

I thought I had the glideslope competition nailed until everyone came out with the same or better...D'oh! Localiser track looked fairly sloppy on paper, but there's only one person who knows how we've really done. I don't think I was ever more than one bar's width off all the way down. Was a bit rusty, but i've not flown for *ahem*quiteawhile*ahem*.
Head out for the GA stuff, Lots of lookout but in hindsight no radio and no FREDA...I found I just didn't get 2min to squeeze them in :-S. Wait and see now...Had a good day nonetheless :-).

Starting to think there is some delay, I thought today would be the day, but nothing has come through. Starting to get paranoid that they have my email address wrong or something!

I think someone is carefully measuring all those localiser deviations with a micrometer
