Getting started... Best tip?

It's much harder to judge altitude and relative position when you can only see directly in front of you. It's actually one of the things that makes simulator dead-reckoning flying harder in the sim than in real life (even though you can pan around for your view). I'm only slightly jealous of folks who have multi-monitor setups for the sim.

To add one to the original list:

Don't be in a hurry. If you feel you're rushing through things, slow down and get it right.

Thanks! I added that! I think that's going to be one of the more tough ones to apply. It feels easy to want to rush the process to get that ticket! Great reminder.
 
Based on a checkride video that was posted recently...READ and UNDERSTAND what you are being graded on(The Practical Test Standards)
 
I love watching check rides and practical test videos. I thing those are super helpful.
