I don't think it's possible to say for sure. It depends entirely on the pilot checking you. The 206 is rather benign, as helicopters go, & has plenty of rotor inertia, so autorotations are relatively easy. Just keep forced landing areas in sight, & put the pitch down in the event of a simulated engine failure. You don't have to slam it down, and if there is a runway close by, that would make an excellent landing area.
