Keep it simple
Try to avoid complicated explanations or grammar if you are not sure about them. If the truthful answer is difficult to explain, you may want to say something easier in the exam.
Ask for explanations
If you don't understand what you are meant to do, ask the examiner to explain. For example, you could say:
Could you repeat the question, please?
I'm sorry, could you explain the meaning of the word .... ?
Could you please ask the question in another way?
Use full sentences
Avoid answers which are single words or lists
Finish the task
When you are asked to compare and contrast two photos and to give your personal feelings about them, make sure that you leave some time for explaining your own views. If you are asked to reach a conclusion in the joint task, try to do this within the time you are given.
Keep speaking
If you need time to think about something, try to keep speaking rather than remain silent.You could say things such as:
[during the interview; said to the interviewer] Please give me a moment while I think about the answer
[at the start of the individual task; talking to yourself] Let me see ... what do these photographs show?
[at the start of the joint task; talking to the other student] Shall we start by describing what we see in the pictures?
[during the three-way discussion; asking either the examiner or the other student] What is your opinion?
To avoid wasting time, make it clear when you have finished talking. For example, say something like:
That's all I can think of at the moment
Practice
Before the exam, practice the test with another student (if you already know the other student who will be taking the speaking test with you, ask him/her to practice with you).
You may find it useful to pay for some private lessons with an English teacher to prepare. If you do this together with a friend then the lesson may be cheaper for you, and you can practice the speaking test in a more realistic way.
