Airdog,

As already mentioned you can go around from any height with everything hanging out. Just make the right actions instinctive: full power (don't snap it open), drag flaps up, carb heat cold, establish best climb speed, check positive rate of climb above 200' AAL, remaining flaps up. All in that order (check your PoH for differences).

Drill, drill, drill, drill, drill, drill, drill, drill, drill!

I had to go-around recently as the plane showed signs of an incipient stall about 10' above the runway. I didn't think about it or analyse it, just hit the throttle as soon as the doubt showed itself. Post analysis suggested that my threshold speed was too low...a very stupid mistake on my part

Whatever you do, as soon as the approach does not go to plan, don't try to reason with the situation, just get the damn thing flying again

Good luck with the remainder of your training

HWD.
