1. Carefully determine the topic of the question the examiner is asking you

In part 1 of the Vstep speaking test, the examiner will ask you about 02 topics with 03 questions on each topic. Therefore, try to listen to determine the topic, thereby making it easier for you to judge the questions. In addition, pay attention to whether the question is Yes/No or Wh question.

2. Practice the Vstep speaking form

Each Speaking section tests different sub-skills. For example, the social communication section tests description and explanation skills. Therefore, knowing the test format and spoken language for each section will help you score high for that section.

3. Practice speaking English right before the exam

When you switch to English from speaking Vietnamese, it's easy to have a 'stuck tongue' and not speak naturally. If right before the exam, you mentally rehearse the introduction of your best friend, for example, it will help you speak the first part fluently.

4. Expand the answer logically;

Remember to extend your answer long enough to demonstrate your language ability. Some ways to develop ideas can be used as descriptions, explanations or examples.

5. Keep eye contact when speaking to the examiner

Looking down when speaking shows confidence in communication

6. Don't memorize answers

When memorizing answers, you often try to remember them during the exam. Instead, during the learning process, you can read many sample speeches, but take notes on good sentence structures and write them as ideas and then develop them into complete sentences yourself.

7. ; When taking the Vstep speaking test, ask the teacher if you don't understand the question

When taking the Vstep speaking test, you can ask the teacher to repeat a question or a word you don't hear clearly, or you can ask for an explanation.

8. Give yourself time to think before answering

9. Correct your mistakes during the Vstep speaking test

If you realize you've made a mistake while speaking, correct it. Because of that, you will no longer have points deducted for that error.

10. Be comfortable and confident when speaking, especially in the vstep speaking test

Exam psychology always makes you stressed during the Speaking test. However, the examiner always creates a comfortable atmosphere for you, so before starting the exam, take a deep breath to calm yourself. While speaking, consider it a conversation between two friends so you don't feel offended. Speak loudly enough to be heard and don't be afraid.
