Narrative:

I was up shooting approachs with instructor. We were inbound ILS runway 9R at fcm. Tower asked me for preferred runway and I responded runway 9L. My instructor then made me go partial panel and asked me questions about timed turns and such. When I took off my hood to land, I started to turn to runway 9L and my instructor said 'no, I told them runway 9R.' I questioned him and told him I read back runway 9L and he said I told them runway 9R, go ahead and land. There was not enough time to call tower, so I landed. After landing, tower said wrong runway, please call me. In the future, if there is any doubt, I will go around and get clarification from the tower. I was concentrating so hard on partial panel approach, I assumed the instructor did call when he said. This was the first time with this particular instructor.
