Well.... Yes. It is wise to learn the skills for which you will be examined. But it might be somewhat limiting to consider only those skills, as other more advanced skills provide a more broad perspective on the whole thing. There are many landing techniques possible to achieve the same result. Opening one's mind to considering is a good thing, to be encouraged, and worthy of reply.
XV255 asked for some other ways of thinking about landing. Perhaps simply considering a different technique, and the fact that other people advocate it, will inspire perfecting the basic skills.
Keep an open mind!
