Passed my first stage check and now I've started scheduling my final Check for my IFR rating, any last minute advice for me?
 
Lots and lots of coffee. If you can nail that ILS all the way down with the jitters and trying not to pee, you can do anything.

Oh, yeah, and trim.
 
Remember to bring your cert, a view limiting device, your medical and a wad of cash.
The rest is just flying a plane.
 
I just passed my IFR check ride last week and let me tell you, it was a huge relief to be done with all the studying and prep. Study the acs hard and the oral will be easy provided you know the material. Try to slow down ahead of time if need be for the approaches and hold so you won’t feel rushed. I asked atc for some extra time when they were vectoring me around after the missed approach to set everything up for the next approach and the DPE liked that ( I would do it whether he likes it or not as that’s what I would do in real life). Mainly, don’t go below mda! The check ride was easier than training actually which is the preferred way to go in my book. Good luck and you got it.
 
Get a good nights sleep. Relaxed and alert are a good combination.
