·         Read the text before microphone starts- The test takers will get 30-40 seconds before the microphone starts.  Candidates can use this time to read the text and get prepared about what they are going to listen.  This is a good strategy to quickly go through the text before the microphone starts working.

·         Focus is the key- Always read carefully. Because your response will be based on what you read and understand. In case you read and misunderstood the question wrong, you will end up answering the questions incorrectly. Therefore, in the first place, it is extremely important not to lose your concentration and understand the question properly.

·         Speak at a normal pace- Most of the test takers have a misconception that speaking quickly will bring them higher score on the speaking section. This is not the case. You should always speak at a normal pace as it will make you sound clear. If you speak quickly, either you may not be understandable to the speaker or may miss out essential information. Therefore, it may get difficult to score your response. To score higher, always speak slowly, clearly and confidently.

·         Keep Speaking- Odds are there you may make an error while you are speaking. Even if you make a mistake, do not try to go back to correct you rather continue speaking. If you stop speaking, the microphone will discontinue recording after 3 seconds of silence.
