slow flight training question

I'm a beginner and I've been practicing that one training mission with slow flight. I have realized something very weird. When you are asked to power up to maintain 60 knots at 4000 feet, you're asked to do so at 2000 rpm. That's not possible. To maintain 60 knots while in level flight you need no more than 1600/1700 (not sure exactly) rpm. Any more and the airplane starts gaining altitude. Am I doing something wrong, coz I don't see a solution to this?

The 2000 RPM is just a recommended starting point, adjust as necessary to maintain speed and altitude. Actual RPM required changes with temp., aircraft weight and altitude.
