10 Tips for passing the spoken english section of IELTS and TSE

.1) Get some dummy questions and practise answers to them. Record using sound recorder on computer and hear for yourself. Do you like the way you hear, if not practise till you get the right langauge, wordings and timing

.2) Time to answers all questions within 50 secs. The last line of your answer should be conclusion, indicating that you have completed the task

.3) Adantages/disadvantages: Give one advantage /disadvantage for both and give examples to support that. If time permits then give more

.4) Graph: X-axis, Y-axis, trend, max value & min value. Dont explain each and every point. Give only the trend and finally the conclusion

.5) Picture: 1 sentence for each picture, and last sentence the moral of the story

6) Complaints: Just call any 1-800 numbers and get a free practise. Open the yellow pages and call several 1-800 numbers for carpet cleaning, lawn, appliances, credit cards, etc and speak

. 7) Use your phone to the maximum. Speak to as many customer service representatives as possible and you will know your weak points.

.8) Talk to your boss or colleague everyday and report to him what all you have accomplished on that particular day. This will help you in question

.9) Talk to your colleagues as much as you can. Practise yourself in front of a computer 1-2hrs everyday for at-least 1-2 months, use sound-recorder

.10) Practise till you are fluent with no hesitations like ahh..Uh...I think..., etc

Relax and talk. It is not a content test. It is a talk test. They are grading you to test if you can speak or not. So just speak and don't think while speaking. After you answer one question, forget about it and go on to next one.This will help you get the required scores.
