Defn of "Performance Landing" on PPL Skill Test

Can anyone tell me the defined method of flying the "Performance Landing" on the PPL Skill Test.

Two schools of thought seem to be prominent. One says fly the approach to achieve Vat of 1.3 VS at the 50 ft point - in other words what is specified in the Flight Manual/POH to achieve the scheduled landing distance.

Other version is to progressively reduce speed to a value below 1.3 Vs to avoid float etc.

Beagle, are you out there?
