I believe that you must decide and initiate a go around by DA, but there it is accepted that downward momentum will carry the aircraft below DA before the effect of raising lever and/or nose has caused a positive rate of climb. In other words you have to initiate (ie moved the controls) at or before DA. But the best thing is to ask you instructor who will know the policy of the examiner.
