Hey Paul...good luck on the checkride. I just started my instrument
work and posts like this are great reading. I'm sure to come back to
things like this, hopefully sometime in the spring when I get to take
the DPE along.

As for the high score on the written, IMHO, I don't think it matters to
the examiner. A good examiner is going to probe for what you know/don't
know no matter what your written score.

Looking forward to your post about the checkride.
