In my opinion, not very hard. In fact, now that I think about it, it was probably the easyist (sp?) checkride I've taken. After it was over, I felt like I had really nailed it, flown really well and handled everything just like I should have.
But I'm sort of taking this at a different point in my flying career compared to most people. A lot of people do this ride in the 200-300 hour window of their training. I'm up at 950 TT now. I've been fortunate enough to fly in all different parts of the country, instruct a lot, take checkrides from five different examiners, etc. Those things all helped to give me a broader view of flying in general. I was very relaxed and confident going in to this ride. More so than any other checkride I've taken, I'd say.
So on this ride, it was a combination of my own mental mindset, my instructor's good training, and a nice examiner that made everything go smoothly.
