So pole-ing forward as hard as buggery while screaming "WE BOTH DIE UNLESS MY AIRSPEED INDICATOR STARTS WORKING AGAIN!" isn't a recommended flight test ASI failure recovery technique? I'd be pretty bloody surprised if the ASI didn't suddenly become a working instrument again.
Whereupon a very calm "Ok...that's that problem fixed. What's next on the test sheet?" could be asked of the examiner.
