Upslope/downslope RWY

Please help solve a dilemma we're having at the moment!

There is a lot of controversy as to whether the tendency is to approach a downsloping runway too high or too low. Logic would dictate that you tend to approach too high, but sources at the CAA say that, for the JAR ATPL exams, the correct answer to the question would be a tendency to approach too low.

I figure that some here would be able to shed light on this...
