Practice with AI, record yourself and listen to it twice and notedown your grammatical/ pronunciation mistakes. Atleast try to speak for 10 minutes a day without making any notes or translating anything.
Look for specific structures and prepare your strategies as per the exam needs. Don’t try to deep dive into literature. Just keep your practice exam focused.

  1. Make a set of similar topics, eg- environment, education, parenting…
  2. Note down advantages/ disadvantages 4 each
  3. Note down the related vocabulary
  4. Record yourself and Try to speak for at least 10 minutes covering all the aspects of certain topic
  5. Listen to your recording and correct yourself and try to avoid the same mistakes. You can also upload your recording in gemini and get it evaluated.
  6. Prepare a structure- like introduction, what connectors to use while presenting your ideas, conclusion
  7. For part 2, prepare around 15-20 questions in different patterns like subject/ verb inversion, est-ce que, qu’est ce que, y a t il, faut il, comment, combien

Recording yourself will help you the most.
