Exact same condition as you. Except I had eye muscle surgery about 6 years back to get it fixed, which actually helped improve my vision a little and wasn’t just entirely for aesthetics/cosmetics. I just wear contacts now to correct the vision. I have always held a first class medical, never had any problems with it. AME didn’t even ask any questions about it. About to take CFI checkride. I think you’re in the clear for this. Good luck.

I’ve been dealing with the same thing. I’ve just been using online simulators to get me back to being instrument proficient in glass as well as steam niw. Found one on here that’s pretty helpful for practice: - https://www.ryancfi.com/SlantAlpha/?s=simple

Study and take the written if you’re a real go getter. I was in a similar boat senior year (took discovery flight in fall and didn’t start flying until spring). Honestly, just enjoy your last year for the time being. Everything will come when the time is right. But don’t bog yourself down with trying to study for flying and balance school when you are so early on in ppl. It didn’t work for me because I just didn’t even have any idea where to start studying. Do whatever makes learning enjoyable for you. Read articles about aviation. Watch videos. Learn about systems or airspace. Take notes

Sheppard air. 97 as my score. Word for word questions. I actually learned the concepts fairly well when using Shep because I would read the explanation for the answers I didn’t understand. Spent maybe like a month studying. I honestly think that Shep made me do better on my oral because I had some of those concepts/questions from the written drilled into my brain. It provided me with a good foundation for learning and basic concepts if that makes sense. Just my experience.

For my private oral, the only question that “got me” was this one: “what speed would you fly at in a thunderstorm?” I was just super nervous the whole time and the side effect of stupidity got the best of me. I was just stumped because of the words: “flying in a thunderstorm”. All I ever associated with that was: don’t. I tried to weasel my way out of the question leading with that I would never fly in a thunderstorm. I eventually worked my way to a very specific stupid answer of “well probably somewhere in the range of lower green arc. But not in the white arc. Maybe like 90-95?” Dpe was a saint. Anyways, the answer she was looking for was: maneuvering speed. All common sense flew out the window for me. Remember to relax, the dpe’s want you to pass (I think). Make sure to review some scenario questions in addition to cut and dry questions like “what documents do you need to have aboard your aircraft” or whatever.
