they taught us a few tricks at my school, they might sound stupid but they actually worked
first, split it into sections.....do the engine compartment and driver side of the tractor (mirrors and fuel tank) first
then work to the rear of the tractor
Air/electrical lines
Batterys/ battery box
Catwalk
Driveshaft
Exhaust
Frame
Utility lights
and for the coupling system remember this sentence, My Sister Really Likes Ketchup And Pickles in Glass Jars
Mounting bolts
Skid plate
Release arm
Locking pins
Kingpin
Apron
Platform
Gap
Jaws
when they first taught us that i thought it was dumb as hell.......then i used it and it worked, used it all the way up until my state test
so if u are fumbling around trying to remember the parts to the coupling system u can just go through that sentence
good luck

Would something like a kneeboard or wristboard checklist be allowed - like is used in military preflight or PMCS?

the only way i passed was by touching each and every part by hand or with a stick starting from the bottom up, but use the right words dont say leaks if its a solid metal piece.
also my school would fail you at a drop of a dime $$$??? i took the test at DMV and passed everything on the first try. the examiner was cool and understood that i was nervous. just treat him like a cop - yes sir no sir, be on time, dress and look like a pro. relax and study every chance you get, ask for help. but dont just stand around.
best of luck - this is only the beggining
