I can smell my instrument rating

On the flying side, I've had only one flight since my last post. An RNAV into Rwy 2 at Athens (KAHN) and the ILS to 27 at the same airport. I did some stupid mistakes that  really pissed me off, altitude and heading mistakes, some communication mistakes. I went to the school early next day to correct my mistakes on the sim; I flew about 4 hours on it and that was last weekend. The rest of the week I have devoted my self into studying the Instrument Jeppesen book from cover to cover and answering all the quizzes at the end of each section.
After I finish it, I will review my Sporty's videos again and the King School course.. I am using all the resources available to me, I really want to ace this checkride which I'm thinking it will come on the second weekend of March.
I have 4 more training flights before my check ride; the next one will be this weekend and also it will be my instructor's last weekend, so it will be interesting.

I'm sorry dude! I accidentally deleted your comment while trying to reply and now I don't know how to get it back!
I have used Sporty's all the time but I am really now going to the King School side, I am going to purchase the checkride IFR course.
I have the IFR Sporty's videos and I have falling asleep 3 times while watching them.

That's okay! :-) It happens.

I went ahead and ordered some King School videos for the Oral and Check-ride portion (and some others that I thought would be interesting.) If I like them, I will def., order the IFR course.
Yeah, falling asleep while watching an education video you bought isn't a good thing... haha...
