I will be flying a 152 on my PPL Checkride, when I set up for this maneuver should i just stay at or around pattern altitude until final, and then begin the slip all the way down? Does the examiner want you to use flaps or not? thanks

Flaps is based on the plane not the DPE. Check the POH first. If you can't find it, ask your CFI.
Just show you are able to slip. Come in a little high slip as long as you need to and then exit the slip and land.
Sounds good thanks! So its not actually required to slip it all the way to the runway? Can you just slip until like short final or something like that?

If you're not sure what the examiner wants you to do, ask the examiner. It's a fair question.

The really funny thing is he pulled the power abeam the numbers, so I put in 10 degrees of flaps. He said "WHY DID YOU PUT IN FLAPS BEFORE THE RUNWAY WAS MADE??" I said "Because pulling power abeam the numbers in a 152 is how I usually land"
My answer would have been, "we are abeam the runway on downwind, the runway is made, no issues."
I was nervous
Ya, I never come up with the smart one liners in real time either.
