Strategies for an oral exam

There are also some strategies that will be useful in an oral exam . The typical oral exams are a mix of formal and informal speaking because there are two exercices of interacting and two of describing. So here there are some useful strategies:

-Find out what topics you'll be tested on .

-If you're describing a picture try to talk about the place, the scene, what do you see etc.

- Practise standard expressions.

-Maintain good eye contact and posture.

-Pay close attention to the questions asked.

-Speak in complete sentences.

-In this kind of speaking is really important to be careful with the grammar and vocabulary used.

-When describing or explaining, try to organise the explanation before starting.

-Try not to say Spanish expressions like “ EMM” or “Vale”

-If you are nervous and you don't know how to express yourself, use other words.
