Congrats 
What are some pointers or tips you can pass on?
Working toward my PP.
Hey Sonic. Cool man! How many hours you got so far?
As far as any pointers, it actually turned out to be quite a bit easier than I thought it was going to, but I felt like I was fully prepared. I really knew my stuff for the oral and was comfortable flying the plane, using the radio, and navigating.
For the oral study hard (and I do mean study hard), but you don't have to recall everything from memory. That certainly helps you though if you can. He was asking me stuff about charts and i was rattling off all the right answers. Maybe 6 or 7 symbols and he was like, "ok I know you know charts" and we moved on. That kind of thing. You should be at least familiar with everything and know where to find the answers if you don't know something. There were a couple questions where i didn't know the answer, but i was able to tell him where i would look. Biggest tip on the oral would be do not try to BS your way to an answer. That will just get you in trouble and they will keep digging. Also, if you do well on your written, that's less you have to cover in the oral. I got a 95% on my written, so he only had to ask me 3 questions about it. Make sure you remember which ones you missed (if you haven't already taken it) so you can make sure you understand those. If you miss them again, your examiner might not like that very much.
One thing that I screwed up a little in the airplane was my position/intention reporting on the radio. Calling for a south departure when i really wanted a southeast departure, the tower cleared me for a runway that wasn't the best for my initial route. Also I called I was northeast of an airport when I was really northwest. Just small situational/directional awareness things were the only real thing that my examiner was giving me a hard time about on the flying. Just don't scare your examiner and you'll be fine.
