Actually they say the exact opposite on several exercises. If you're already in the correct gear for the corner, simply slow using the brakes and look, press, roll.
As far as which to do first with downshifting and braking, here's a thought. I do my braking first. If I don't get all my shifting done, I'm in too high a gear for the corner. It kills my drive out of the corner, but it's not a huge deal. If I don't get all my braking done, I'm liable to end up in Mrs. Johnson's rose bushes. Much bigger deal.
