I find it very difficult to be under
the hood for an hour or more, then be told to "look up" just short of the
threshhold, and execute a decent landing. The sudden transition from IFR
to
VFR is jarring to me, though I've been slowly improving.

As an examiner once said to me on an IMC rating renewal test:
"You know that in order to pass, you've got to get both of us
back on the ground alive..."
