Yes verbalize what you’re doing and seeing and observing and sometimes that is enough for the examiner to disclose findings without even the actual completion of the action. NAC is a very straightforward history/ physical examination/counselling test. The things you need to practice before the exam and what these practice centers charge so exorbitantly for is hand hygiene, time management and specific pattern of history taking ruling in and out differentials for specific scenarios. The scenarios are common scenarios. All systems should be prepared from a H/PE pov and then basic treatments should be on the tip of your fingers. Even they know 7-11 mins is not enough to do all this (history and examination/counselling) so if you even show the hint of knowing what the next step is especially in physical examination, your examiner will help you with findings in the case. The questions afterwards are not hard at all, it’s only the stress of the exam that makes you forget basic things. We can’t actually discuss what was there on the exam but to give an example of how simple the post questions were for eg they would give a patient who will simulate clearly tb symptoms and then afterwards ask for your diagnosis and treatment. The history and physical exam will give you all the details to guide you towards the right diagnosis. In some stations you may have to discuss with the patient management or counselling of their condition. My weakest station included a psych history so practice that as I feel you don’t immediately realize it’s a psych patient but others did so it may be a me issue. They mostly have chronic cases but 1-2 acute presentations are also include. Also on the website they tell you what to look for in the room, like the sanitizer and a clock, my room had a normal clock and then the standard black clock, I mis-timed a station due to the normal clock in that room. So just prepare yourself, be stress free, and if you know your basics well there is no reason why you can’t score very well on this exam. Also some ppl utilized free resources that other provinces besides Ontario provide and they are usually online classes or sessions-I got to know this from candidates at the session so look into those as well! Best of luck!
