As I am new myself, from what i've rad in the manuals, you have to do a checkride to change equpment or get additional ratings. So when your ready to move to stage 2, you would have to do a check ride in the Mad Dog before you can get your ratings as an MD-88 first officer. You don't have to take one in your eqipment type as you move to captain, just the practical test, i.e. when you get your 10 legs to make captain in the CRJ, you only take the written. To move to stage 2 first officer you take the written and check ride in that aircraft. To make captain in that stage to type, just the written and so on.

All a checkride is, is just an assigned flight. You file an Equipment Transfer Request here on the website after passing the F/O exam for the program that you want the rating for or to transfer to, and the staff for that program will assign you a flight--you'll get all the information in your email. You then fly that flight, exactly as instructed, using ACARS, and file the PIREP like normal. The staff will check the flight and tell you whether your performance was good enough to pass, or whether you get to do it again. 
The key thing to remember on a checkride is to READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS. Each program has its own very different checkride, and each program has their own requirements. You need to read and understand the entire set of instructions before trying to fly it, to avoid missing something that might cause you to flunk it.
