I'm wondering what the quickest (even thought it might not be the best
way) to get to CP-AM/SEL rating.

I'm already instrument rated, but haven't really started
multi-training. I heard there is a way to take both the multi and
single checkrides at the same time. Something about using the multi
for the complex airplane portion of the ride. Someone please clarify
this for me :P

Check the PTS. You get credit towards the multi for the single engine. The
multi checkride (by memory) has a single engine approach and a max drag demo
and a few other similar items. There is little duplication.

If you want to do it efficiently go to Sheble in Arizona. I managed the
commercial single & multi and a single engine sea in less than a week.

Sit in the multi before you fly it and practice locating the controls. That
will save some time. I was able to do the checkride with less than 4 hours
of multi time because I studied and rehearsed things in my mind before the
first time I started the engine.
