It is up to the examiner whether or not you can take both checks at the same
time as FAA only requires that you have obtained all of the required
training and meet the regulatory requirements for the certificates and
rating which you want to obtain.

You instructor and examiner should be able to read FAR Part 61 and answer
any concerns that you have, otherwise, contact your local FSDO and ask the
question again.
