Keep to your level:

• Don't sit an exam which is too difficult for you.
• During the exam, don't offer to do something which you know you will find difficult.But don't try to over-simplify your language.
• Try to use language which is appropriate for your level.

  Keep it flowing:

• Pace yourself.
• If you are given data to interpret, give yourself time to organise your thoughts.
• Speak naturally with a variety of intonation.
• Don't seize up or worry if you make a mistake.
• If you have not fully understood the question, ask for clarification or repetition.
