Narrative:
I was being checked out in a small aircraft light twin. Departed pao for sck on IFR flight plan, VMC, initial altitude assignment: 3000 ft. As we approached 3000, instructor was explaining some procedure. I noticed we were at 3300 at same time ATC reminded us of assigned altitude and I corrected. I should have given priority to flying the aircraft and deferred listening to instructor.
