Talk to other candidates

6:32

other

6:32

people feel like you do are in a similar

6:34

situation I think it will make you feel

6:37

slightly less less intimidated by the

6:40

whole experience

6:42

but also another benefit of speaking to

6:44

a candidate

6:46

um in the speaking exam if you can find

6:49

your partner before you enter the exam

6:51

room for the speaking paper you can talk

6:55

about strategy literally talk about

6:56

strategy for the exam so how you're

6:59

going to approach the interactive parts

7:02

of the exam so the collaborative tasks

7:04

and the discussions in the speaking

7:06

paper itself so that's a huge benefit

7:08

because then you don't need to worry

7:11

about interrupting each other too much

7:12

or the pleasantries and polite and who's

7:16

going to go first and who's going to

7:18

continue things like that so it's really

7:22

a huge benefit if you can speak to some

7:24

of the other candidates and the last tip

7:26

number six is relax and try to enjoy the

7:30

experience

7:31

now I know that's easy for me to say

7:34

because I'm not going to take the exam

7:37

um and it's very difficult to do in

7:39

practice because I know some people get

7:41

extremely nervous and extremely stressed

7:43

but just try to remember that this is

7:46

your opportunity it's an opportunity for

7:48

you to demonstrate your English level

7:49

and get that certificate you want so

7:51
