My instrument instructor who is a master cfi and former checkairmen for a major airline made me do 20 hours of simulator (10 hours a day for 2 days) after that we only did 3 hours of dual in the plane before my checkride. We did do a full day of prep for the oral before the sim but it was all 0 knowledge to instrument rating in 4 days including the checkride. It felt boring, repetitive, unrealistic, etc. However as soon as I got in the plane it all fell into place and some of it seemed easier to do in the plane. Every hour of sim time really helped me out and made for an easy checkride.
