Listen to your partner's questions and answers in Part 2 and try to make it a natural conversation.

Remember that the examiners want you to do your best.

Try and relax and enjoy the test.

Don't worry too much about making grammar mistakes.

Don't worry if you don't understand. Just ask the examiner to repeat or explain the question.

Don't prepare long answers in advance.

Don't worry if you think your partner is not as good, or much better at speaking English than you. The examiners mark you one by one.

Don't be so nervous that you don't speak. The examiners can't mark you if you don't say anything.

Don't worry if the examiner stops you. It is important that the tests are not too long.
