Narrative:
I was doing my commercial check ride. The designated pilot examiner (dpe) asked me to do a short field landing. We were coming in on the approach and it was stable and on the glideslope. I tried to land on the 500 foot marker; but when I flared; I landed on all 3 wheels on the runway at the same time. My nose gear collapsed and the propellers hit the ground. The airplane lost directional control and went into the grass.
