speaking help!

 

[aqeelhussain17]

I got to the possible topics like few days [2-3] before the exam. I think you have to wait. Cause there is no official release, its just students from here and thier leaking the topics!

plz can u tell me dat when will da speaking xam dates will be released..........

 

[MindStealth]

Trust me knowing the topics beforehand is useless, they'll ask questions which are easy and simple. They just want to check your speaking skills not your knowledge in that topic so just speak anything you can and try to make it like a conversation by asking questions not like an interview where only the examiner asks you questions and you keep answering.

Hey no worries, I went through that in 2010! It's quite easy, trust me! ^^ I had the topic as money, aah memories. I got 1!

Honestly, topic info doesn't matter at all. I learned every single thing about money before going in, but not even one sentence I kept in mine were used. The examiner just sit's with you and has a convo, knowledge on topic doesnt count. Fluency matters! Just don't go like "Uuh, aah, mmm" .. Your gonna Ace it!

Ah, hello there! Welcome my friend!
Yes yes, examiner asks himself, it's something no one should actually worry about! Very easy, if your school forced you to speak in english since nursery!

Not at all, I wasn't even able to talk for 15 seconds straight! He just kept on asking.
But yeah, whatever you say just back up a sensible opinion, cause my examiner frequently asked, "why do you say so, what makes you think like that" etc..

I see, well, if your the first, then I guess there is no way you can figure out the topics that's for sure.
But if you mean the dates of your exams, well it's printed on your Statement of Entry! All the date's have to be there, and without it you can't even sit in the exams, just like an Admit Card.
