If it was AQP LOE, then you should divert, since it's treated like an actual flight. The examiner can then fast-forward and simulate refueling to move things along. But under AQP you have to obey all the regs. Might still run out of time to complete everything, you can fail for that but better to risk going into overtime than sudden-death.
For a PC, which is task-oriented, you could just keep trying since the fuel load is usually frozen anyway.
