Second that, bottom line you don't know why a portion of your ILS suddenly went inoperative and prudent judgment would be to do the missed, query ATC, and set yourself up ahead of time. If you have plenty of time to re-brief the approach and set yourself up that's one thing, but don't ever continue the approach inbound from the FAF until you are set up completely, especially on a checkride.
Typically most examiners won't throw you any curve balls in the air, but some may try to rush you just to see how you cope with it. Complete your items in a timely fashion, but don't let the examiner rush you into busting a PTS standard. If you really nail down your briefings well, it will go over well with your instructor. Best of luck, let us know how you did.
