Lookout - Attitude - Instruments is the littany, repeated continuously.
Remember that the VSI tells you what's about to happen whereas the ALT tells you what has already happened.
If descending, maintain back pressure and decrease bank. The nose will rise, when it's where you think it should be: roll in again and use more back pressure.
If climbing, slightly overbank and maintain back pressure. The nose will fall, when it's where you think it should be: roll bank to desired bank angle and adjust back pressure.
Examiner will specify bank angle. Limit bank to 60 degrees unless you have/use a g meter and know the structural limit.
