All of the above and more; It depends on the instructor and the students. At my company you know you are doing well when you have multiple unrelated failures. That usually means that the check-airman likes what he sees, has most likely passed you in his head and just wants to load you up.

We also routinely get an engine cut wit a 90degree turn starting at 70ft off runway heading with no auto-feather (got that on the 2nd day initial sim and the checkride).
