Fly26 Evacuation is a mandatory check-ride item, reviewed to a pass standard by every ATPL captain at least once a year, more likely 4 times. Calling for EVAC with engine(s) running would be a fail on a licence re-validation day.

Understandably, in a real-life event, there are stressors not available in the SIM for training - such as fear for life - and the performance will be degraded. That is a physiological fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerkes%E2%80%93Dodson_law

At the same time, the training AND checking are in place for the sole reason of preparing us for that real-life event. It's hard to comment beyond what's displayed in the first post already.
