a 100 on the written???

well.. the examiner knows no body is perfect.. so he's going try to find
out
what you don't know.. don't worry.. they always find something.. and it
should be no big deal... just don't dig a hole and try to bluff your way
out
of something..

study up, take your reference library with you.. and you'll do fine..

I don't understand taking a reference library with you to a checkride.
I'll
be scheduling my IFR ride this month if I wasn't so busy. But when it does
happen (in June), I'll only be taking the essentials and what's been
planted
in my brain up to that time. No FAR/AIM or anything of that sort. It
wasn't
needed during my private oral and I don't see the sense in the DE digging
to
the point that you have to feel like you need to drag along an
encyclopedia.

You didn't take the AIM or FARs with you? Yikes - The DEs I know would not
have let that go. So when you don't know something you just shrug your
shoulders and have no way of saying "I can look it up?"


If you scored 100, there should be no question that you studied and are
able
to pass the oral easily. A few questions on each topic should be
sufficient
without the DE trying to find something, for God's sake, anything! just to
show you that you don't know it all.

That is horse doodie. Getting a 100 on the knowledge tests is not that hard
and you can do it and still know very little about instrument flying.
