Get a good night's sleep.. get up early.. eat a good breakfast well before the ride..

And relax... You wouldn't be signed-off for this, if you weren't ready.. Cool

Good luck. If he asks you to perform a slip to a landing make sure you know which way the wind is blowing.

And if you are in a Cessna, make sure the flaps are up. That was one of the tricks the examiner in our area would try. He'd get you all setup for landing with full flaps, then ask you to demonstrate a forward slip.
