Study flows and callouts with him. There's a 100% chance you could also benefit from running through them more outside of training.

In the sim you are being judged on how well you work together, you aren't being judged on how capable the other guy is. This means you need to: 1. Know everything you need to know. 2. Be able to work with the other person.

If you know your stuff then it shouldn't be a big deal to very gently and politely cue him also. When he is PF and it's getting obvious that he forgot to call for a checklist, reach for the checklist and put it on your lap. If he doesn't pick up on it a polite "Are you ready for the approach checklist?". Just make sure you give him some time to "catch up" to the plane and don't be riding your sim partner like everything has to be done at the EXACT MOMENT is says on the profile. There's not much more you can be doing in a training session. The sim instructor will see what is going on.

If you sim partner is really terrible the instructor might be giving him some extra time to evaluate if he is even going to stay with the company. Take this as an opportunity to study with him outside of training and also as an opportunity to work on your own situational awareness when you are in the sim watching everything he is supposed to be doing too. But seriously, you get pissed in the sim at him, or start playing the whole "blame everyone else" game, you're gone. The only way your sim partner can "drag you down" is if you let him affect your attitude.
