Can you expand a bit, I'm not sure what you mean

If you fly it without saying a word, you'll fail it.

You have to "teach", and explain everything you're doing, as if you were flying with an instrument student.

Eatsleepfly said what I meant perfect... you need to talk... and you need to talk a lot! I know a lot of people go into the checkride knowing how to fly an approach from the right seat, but they do not know how to explain what they're doing. They fly the approaches perfectly... and they do it from the right seat... but they do not prove 'instructional knowledge' to the DPE. That's what the whole checkride is about... proving you can teach instruments!! Talk talk talk!! Explain everything thoroughly and fly the airplane with precision and you'll be fine!
