The Test Day

Reach the test center in time.

Make sure you look your best. Wear your best apparel and your best smile.A formal/ semi formal attire is the most suited for the purpose.
Don’t try to show off your casualness by moving in a pair of shorts nor overdo things by wearing a jazzy party dress.

Be confident. This is also one important aspect they are going to judge you on.

Don’t try to talk to candidates coming out of the interview room. By doing this you will be breaking the examination rules and invite a disqualification for yourself.

I always advise to talk calmly to the other candidates waiting for the interview in the same waiting room as you are. Its always a good warm up.

Knock and enter the interview room confidently.
Think before hand how exactly you would like your sitting posture to be and in which you r most comfortable.

Keep your hand movements or other gestures you use during conversing, in control. You should not sit like a statute either. Just that you should not over do such things which looks unnatural in a day to day conversation.

Keep your cool. Be calm and be polite.
Make an interesting conversation. Smile and involve the interviewer in your conversation.

Remember that the interviewer is all too exhausted and bored by interviewing so many candidates before you. Your conversation should refresh him up.

If the interviewer keeps a view in front of you tell him if you fully agree with him, that he is right or if you have another view, be polite and say that you think some thing else.

Did he say he enjoyed talking with you? Tell him that it was nice speaking to him too.
Thank him in the end.

The Mantra

The mantra for a great score in speaking is to be confident, calm and cool.

Project yourself as an interesting person. Be yourself.

Talk clearly, loudly, pronounce correctly and no grammatical mistakes.

You will come out with flying colors.

Good Luck!
