For your sim eval, you'll be given 30 minutes to study in a room with a binder, which has all the speed (all you have to remember is the approach speed with the flap settings). The 200 is very easy to fly, flew like any other Boeing product, in my opinion. The profile is t/o, level off, turn, track, hold, shoot an ILS... It's all out of the Inst. checkride, so if you can do just that, you'll be fine.
Word of tip on the 200, it uses EPR gauges, and for those that hasn't use it, it's much more sensitive than N1, and the 200 doesn't need much power adjustment once you're in cruise (no chop and drop, or full power) The crz power and descent power is only off by a hairline.
Be very situational aware when you're given the holding instruction. Speak out to your NFP where you're at, how you're gonna enter the pattern, brief the whole cockpit real quick. It will let the IP knows that you know what you're doing (CRM!!), and in case if you did something stupid later on, it's just some brownie points in store for you.
Just relax, you'll do fine. If you fly the 9, it's quite bank sensitive, so be sure you don't crank it in too abrupt. You can put the slat out if you level off for the crz, so you'll be slow enough (210 kts) to start the holding pattern. The VSI on the 9 is very sensitive as well, so do your best to trim it out, and keep your scan going. Do not fixate on that VSI because you think you'll lose 50 ft. As long as you don't climb&descent couple hundred constantly, the IP will understand it's a new a/c for you. They're looking for basic airmanship, and more importantly, CRM. Hope it helped.
