I'm looking to work towards my commercial certificate soon and was
wondering what I should expect. I passed the written today and will
be starting the practical training soon. I know there are more
difficult maneuvers and the complex aircraft flying, but what else?
Other than that, is it mainly more precise flying and more knowledge
of systems, etc.? How long does it usually take to obtain? About the
same as the private?

Like other said, not as long as the private. I did all of my training
in about 8 days with a total of about 15 hours and then took the
checkride. Just study up on the oral stuff. You need to know
everything about Airspace, Equipment Lists (the difference between an
MEL, 91.205/91.213, etc.). Also know your basic weather stuff that I
assume you did for your IA (what to expect during a briefing,
different types of fronts, how to read a METAR, etc.).

I did a comprehensive writeup of my comm checkride on another site if
you want to see it:

Good luck!
