So i'm officially scheduled to take my checkride on tuesday june 8th at 630am. I'm nervous and excited. Any hints and tips to make the experience a good one and not freak out? i know it's sorta late in the game to be asking... but better late than never.

Plan to arrive early so you don't feel rushed.  Have all your paperwork ready.  Make sure you have a copy of a FAR/AIM so you can look up things you may not remember.  Treat the examiner like you'd treat a passenger (pre-take off briefing to include the steril cockpit pitch - they like that) Fly and have fun!  Let us celebrate with you when you pass.
