When you're doing a practice approach in which you know it's going to be
missed, do you complete/amend/ignore the GUMPS check?

Absolutely not.

Part of going missed is practicing all those "going missed" items:
mixture forward, prop forward, throttle forward, gear up, flaps up, cowl
flaps open, and (in my case) prop then back to 2500 rpms.

If I skipped the GUMPS, I wouldn't be accurately practicing the missed
approach configuration items properly. Additionally, the aircraft
wouldn't react the same way as if the gear were down, etc.
