Like the other guys said, the technically correct (checkride) answer is to hold at the clearance limit long enough to make your ETA at the airport match what was filed. The generally accepted real-world answer is to get out of the sky.

But if you are doing a checkride with a company (vice FAA) examiner, tell him the textbook answer so he knows that you know it, but then clarify what you would really do.
