Strange this,I had my bi-ennial a couple of weeks ago,terrible marginal viz,but we decided to do it.
Anyway we did a PFL,about 1500 feet,near an old air base,but I wanted to land into wind so did a double half turn,but still too high,so we side slipped in.
I reckoned we were still too high but CFI said you only need to make 1/3 rd way along runway so we would have been OK.
I'm only a low hrs pilot but if it happened for real you would not have much chance for rigid procedures,just try and get to where you reckoned first time,especially if low.
Book stuff is great if the chosen,or forced field, is just where it is in the book
