Hi,
Mine was at the end of Feb and went ok. The nurse was friendly but l tried to keep focused on what l needed to tell her. I had read the guide on here (really useful ) & had the word "reliably" in my head all day. My other phrase was "This is because..." Even if l answered a question with a yes or no l tried to give a "because" reason. For example l was asked can l walk around my house? I said yes, in stages & this is because my house is small, there are no stairs and l can hold onto furniture and sit whenever l need to.
My assessor kept pretty much to the pip descriptors but did ask them out of order. I've heard people asked some odd questions and l personally would be tempted to politely enquire how something past/random is related to my current health. If they can tell you, then answer.
Good luck, talk a lot, give reasons and use words safely & reliably wherever they are appropriate.
