The SIM is the only way to go for V1 Cuts, in the sim, they press a button and the cockpit fills with smoke, a resourceful instructor has a cigarette lighter and plastic electrical wire to get the right odour...

Take your leg of the trim wheel and you get a trim run away, don't look at the guages, and the oil boils...
With instructors pulling all those stunts it is no wonder pilots call it the Horror Box. Pilots don't learn from being flogged with multiple unrelated emergencies. Interestingly, you will rarely ever see a simulator instructor or check pilot hopping into a control seat and demonstrating how to fly a manoeuvre; because he knows chances are that he will stuff things up and make an idiot of himself.
