My flight alone a year ago was almost 3 hours. I was there from like 10-4 with an hour or so lunch between the oral and the flying. Several that did it around the same time said the same. Doesn’t have to be perfect but we did every maneuver and I’ve heard of quite a few that didn’t prepare and failed.

Expect a full multi engine commercial checkride. Every maneuver, VMC demo, 4 full approaches (2 precision/2 non precision) with one being a single engine approach. Mine was around 3 hours not including the 1 hour ground. I suggest that you over prepare. They are lenient to an extent but people do fail it. Good luck

I wouldn't mind renting one for an hour or two the day before. All the local schools around me are either Dutchess or Travel Airs.
The only part I figure I need to brush up on is multi maneuvers and handling something that doesn't weigh 80,000lbs!
However, this is all contingent if I get the TOL. I've just heard if they call your references that you're pretty much golden to move to the checkride part.

What airfield is the ride done out of? Alliance? Only flight school I've found online with PA44s is Delta down in Fort Worth.

For what it’s worth I did my prep in a Duchess and felt extremely well prepared for the ride. I just went to a local school and asked the CFI to run me through a mock commercial multi ride. That said, I have a good deal of Seminole time from my CFI days, so I was already familiar with the plane’s quirks. But if you’re just looking to knock some rust off ME maneuvers and practice landings/learning not to flare at 50 ft, I think any comparable light twin trainer would serve you just fine.
