I would continue because as a professional I've thought about this in the slack time on the way in and have the plate ready. Do not assume that you are going to get in on the first run! It depends also on the country you're in - in Canada, they would be very much looking for a real world approach, even on a check ride. In an airline, the commercial department will love you if you keep overshooting and unnecessarily wasting fuel.
