From the night before to sitting in front of the examiner — every key point for test day, in one walkthrough.
Enter the waiting area or log in at your slot, follow the staff's instructions — no last-minute panic.
Speaking is usually a video call. Confirm the camera shows you clearly, the mic picks you up and the volume is right.
The examiner verifies your documents. Keep them at hand and show them when asked.
The opening small talk is normal conversation, not marked. Relax, smile, settle in.
Introduction and everyday topics (home, studies, interests, work). Short, quick questions — conversation, not recitation.
You get a cue card and 1 minute to prepare notes, then speak for 1–2 minutes continuously. Use that minute to outline.
A deeper discussion of the Part 2 topic: abstract, comparison, cause and effect. The examiner pushes — logic and expansion win.
"Could you repeat that, please?" is perfectly fine — don't guess. Wrong-topic answers cost more than repeating.
Rehearsed answers are spotted and penalised. Prepare ideas and phrases, build sentences on the spot.
In Part 2, list 4 quick points (who / what / why / feeling) and walk through them in your long turn.
Look at the camera, vary your tone, pause to think briefly. Fill long silences with "Well… / Let me see…".
Attach a concrete example or personal story to each point — "for example…" makes answers come alive.
Pull one sentence into three with Why / How / What if. The examiner wants development, not showing off.
Step from personal to society, compare past and future — shift the angle and the band follows.
Speaking is scored on overall performance. One weak sentence changes nothing — keep the conversation going.
