As you progress through more ratings you will get more relaxed. Just remember, the examiner can/will ask you questions you don't know the answer to. It's just part of it. Don't sweat it and press on.

Congrats on your new ticket.

Good. The instrument rating will save your life.

Ok, ok, maybe not. :> Anyway, good job!
