Be familar with the visual reporting points you may be asked to report over. Most likely they won't let you arrive or depart from the west because of the O'Hare traffic, which is closer than you think.
Be familar with the airport diagram, runways and taxiways, and have it out at landing, the airport layout is somewhat confusing if your not familar.
Other than that it's pretty standard.
