If you cannot get past the "stick and rudder" portion of this, then you do not need to go any further.
I have been an IP for a lot of students who could memorize the book, charts and so on, and worked the EFIS like a dream, but turn them upside down and they turned green (especially on St. Paddys day!) and became a veggie.
In the end you have to be able to fly the jet and a sim weeds a lot of them out who cannot master this, but once past that point you gotta put them in a real jet and go out and play.
