Some Multi-engine questions

I just successfully completed my FAA checkride for Commercial AMEL. I got kinda beaten up on one portion of the oral and Im struggling finding some good references to strengthen my understanding prior to my ATP and MEI rides.

Computing Accelerate stop and Accelerate go distances with a 1959 Piper Apache PA23-160. If you have never seen one of the old Piper owner's manuals, lets just say it is not user friendly. There are no tables for ASD or AGD. I remember reading in the flight handbook that ASD can be computed by adding takeoff distance and landing distance plus 20%. But I had no clue how to figure the AGD, and just had to swag a number that included a climb to 50 feet at Vy plus 20% I passed, but Im not exceptionally proud of being caught out here.

Any tips?
