WOW! If you only put half as much effort into flying the plane and learning the systems as you do trying to compute your NSS, you would be able to select whatever you want!
As for "am I doing well." If you answered all of your instructor's questions in the brief, came prepared, know all the course rules / EPs / altitudes and airspeeds cold then yes, you are doing well. The monkey skills are pretty abitrary and will either be there or not. Or come with practice.
If you get a down, you are not doing well.
If you get a below, you are not doing well.
STUDY! Work HARD! The grades work out. If you do your best all the time, then even if you are LAST in your class, that is the best you could do.
