IFR checkride coming up...

Agreed.
But there's "a little turb" and there's hundreds of feet of cushion
above the MDA.
It's a matter of degree and circumstance.
Adding some turbulence protection on a gusty day would be prudent, as
would a mention of you doing so on purpose.
If you were 200 or more feet high on a decent day, the DE's I know would
probably compare it to your other approaches, and possibly let you
take another shot at one high approach. Most of them will allow a redo
on a mistake, if the mistake is to the safe side. Do it on all of them,
and you'll fail.
Remember the PTS has standards:
Non-precision = +100/-0 @ MDA
Precision = 3/4 scale deflection of either needle @ MDA
