Congrats! Try and fly approaches now every chance you get. Hand flying and instrument skills are perishable. Try to not let yourself get rusty!

I’m guessing you’re good to go on the flight portion. If possible, sim the potential routes of your checkride. Mark up your plates beforehand especially calculating VDPs and hold entries.

For the ground, try to understand everything in Pilot’s Cafe, build a checkride binder, read the instrument flying handbook and tab it out, tab out the POH, tab out the FAR/AIM with your weak spots, watch Flight Insight for any weak spots you have, make sure you’re good on your written mistakes. I think my DPE saw my checkride binder and knew I knew my stuff, so it felt like a really straightforward knowledge test.

Oh and watch Cheese Pilot mock instrument checkrides. Super helpful if you’re able to answer questions faster than the students he’s quizzing.
