I'm scheduled for the instrument check-ride in a couple of weeks. I
feel like I can perform within the PTS, but I'm a little" rough around

of the time I catch the screw-ups myself and fix them in a reasonable
time.

That said, I was wondering whether the experienced contributers here
might offer some advice for the day of my check-ride. My main concern
is that I might be so nervous that I bungle the easy stuff.

The night before my instrument checkride my CFII put me through a simulated
checkride. I totally messed it up, I pretty much did everything wrong.

The next day I nailed the checkride (that's my story and...).

For me, it worked to leave the screwups for practice and then just relax on
the checkride and have fun.

Good luck (and, fwiw, relax)
