Speaking exam - How to score a 4/5


Four tasks:
Task one your choice of topic and questions, prepared beforehand. Task two, a picture based discussion. Task three, a role-play. Task four, a question-based conversation. Sample link here.



Grammar
  • Three tenses - past, present, future
  • opinion with extension
  • range of vocabulary, including some adverbs. 
Communication
  • Not too much hesitation, reasonably confident and if possible, spontaneous (you don't sound like you are answering a pre-memorised sentence).
  • answers are consistently good.
  • Your answers need to be relevant to the topic, the title and each question.
Accuracy
  • fairly good accent or pronunciation, everything is understood.
  • grammar needs to be reasonable correct. (verb endings, etc)

With task one, remember that it is a PERFORMANCE. It doesn't matter if the set of questions you prepared was great, it only matters what you PERFORM in the exam. 

Chunk it up and practice as if you were preparing for a theater play. Not reading, not writing, but SPEAKING IT.
