Just remember that you have to be aware of your surroundings when an engine fails. You were probably trained to recover from the worst-case scenario. But engines can fail anytime. Make sure you take the time to recognize where you are if you need your emergency procedures.
For instance, if you are on final, will you need full throttle on the good engine? That depends. But if you just automatically slam it in, you may have to make a SE go-around (if possible). Keep situational awareness and you'll be fine.

Well i got it done unfortunantly didnt pass first try but he came back at night and finished one thing he wanted me to redo. I forgot to forward props on stalls....stupid mistake got a second chance didnt miss em, had some other things we disagreed on such as prop movement throughout the rest so he decided to redo the engine failure under the hood for procedures. He didnt like the fact I pitched for blue line though which seemed odd to me so I didnt the second time and it went really well and i passed. I guess all in all was a good day in the end the failure really takes most of the excitment out but hey live and learn. Thanks for the help!
weird, when I do stalls in the Piper Seneca, I leave the props at 2600 rpm, which I set right after passing 400' AGL (from 2800 rpm). Is putting props full forward in the aircraft you fly standard procedure? just curious

Yes its standard on almost all manuevers. Stalls, VMC demo, emergency descent...you get the idea.

Interesting. That makes sense, I just haven't been doing it. I have been changing the props at 400' AGL from 2800 to 2600, and the only other time that I would reduce it any further is if I was going on a cross country, otherwise I wouldn't touch those blue levers again until I was on final. Haven't heard of any people failing checkrides for that out in these parts.

It was for that and he said I didnt react fast enough to the engine failure, I pitched for blue line and then dealt with mixture, prop, and throttle. He said I should have done that while I was transitioning.
