I'm sure your Recommending Instructor wouldn't have signed you off if you weren't truly ready. So, go in to the practical exam relaxed and confident, and you'll do just fine. There's a lot of info on my DPE website that both you and your CFI might wish to review before the big day:

Thank you for the words of encouragement drseti.
I also appreciate the link to the site. A lot of great information there.
Since I drive 2 1/2 hours one way to the airport, I have taken a week vacation time and reserved a motel for 7 days prior to my checkride. This way, I have one week to study and fly non-stop.

Actually, you have six days to study and fly nonstop. The day before your checkride, you should take the whole day off. If you aren't ready by then, you never will be. Take a break, get some rest, treat yourself to a nice dinner out, go to bed early, and wake up relaxed and refreshed. You'll do better on checkride day if you pamper yourself the day before.

It is nice and convenient to have an actual DPE as a moderator that answers questions and assists students.
