ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Configure the airplane as recommended by the manufacturer, and accelerate to best angle of climb speed (VX) or best rate of climb speed (VY).

Bottom line

When the airplane reaches the stall warning, the recovery is accomplished by first reducing the AOA until the stall warning is eliminated. The airplane should be accelerated to VX if simulated obstacles are present, or VY during recovery and climb.
