This is where all of your training documents are checked (logbook or training record), Aircraft logbooks and documents, and we establish that you have met all the requirements to begin the test.There a three phases to a practical test:

There really are no surprises and your Flight Instructor should be sure that you can consistently fly to the ACS prior to endorsing you for the checkride.

The ACS spells out exactly what will be tested, so all the answers to the test are there. Safety and performance to the ACS is what is expected. What I remind applicants on the date of the test is that no checkride ever goes perfectly, as planned, no matter what level of flying you are at, so don't expect it to be. Applicants who are taking the Private Pilot Checkride are probably taking their first checkride ever.
