Don't wait for 100 feet before changing power or pitch, as
soon as you detect any deviation [a needle width is about 20
feet] get on it, make that small change in pitch and power
and be prepared to make the next change in 2 seconds. Don't
jerk it or jam the power, but use smooth pressure to make
the attitude look right.

This is what the examiner wants to see you do.
He/she is looking for good judgement/decision making.
Promptly correcting for deviation demonstrates that you are aware of
your situation.
