Getting Nervous

Well - D-day is fast approaching. I've been studying as much as humanly possible, and feel somewhat confidant about most of the written test. But the Airspace Classes (specifically E and G) are killing me! I've been taking as many practice tests as possible - and although I'm yet to fail one, I'm also yet to get above an 85%. And its always something to do with those two classes, and of course a couple of other bonehead mistakes.

As far as the fun stuff goes - I got another 3 hours in today, practicing Short and soft takeoffs and landings, as well as my first real experience under the hood. Spent about 2 hours total under the hood, and I've got to say its not all that bad - I kind of liked it. I did have a couple of moments to "feel" like I was heading one way, and seeing the instruments telling me just how wrong that "feel" was! Trust those instruments. I'm pretty sure I've never written that.

Gots to keep going on the studying! My written is scheduled for Tuesday, and my checkride with the examiner is scheduled for Thursday.
