Get a good night's sleep.. get up early.. eat a good breakfast well before the ride..

And relax...  You wouldn't be signed-off for this, if you weren't ready..  8-)

It's today. That why I said tomorrow, yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather is not looking very good.

Ahh... the first test this is, young Jedi... do you know patience...?

Good luck, and don't get all wound-up as you wait.

Good luck. If he asks you to perform a slip to a landing make sure you know which way the wind is blowing.

And if you are in a Cessna, make sure the flaps are up.  That was one of the tricks the examiner in our area would try.  He'd get you all setup for landing with full flaps, then ask you to demonstrate a forward slip.

I thought a Cessna, with full flaps, was a slip  :).
