My tips for DMC:

Relax.

Fly with the confidence that you know what you are doing because your instructor taught you well.

Talk to controllers with confidence. It's also okay to tell the controller that you are on a training flight or a checkride flight - this lets them know to be a little more patient with you and to give you a little more separation if necessary. If asked, tell the examiner you are telling them as a safety measure, which is true.

Talk on the intercom a LOT during the exam when performing any maneuver - explain what you are doing as you are doing it. This helps you get the procedure right, and lets the examiner know that you understand the procedure.

Remember to make clearing turns.


And as my instructor told me, "Don't f*k up."
