Re: Could you HELP me about SPEAK TEST

general info:

SPEAK Test format

(12 questions)
  1. Three warm-up questions
  2. Recommending question
  3. Giving directions question (Map reading)
  4. Describing question
  5. Narrate a story
  6. Suggest a solution
  7. Persuade someone
  8. Advantages and Disadvantages
  9. Opinion question (Share an Opinion)
  10. Define or Explain question
  11. Describe a Graph
  12. Analyze a Graph
  13. Announcement question (Schedule modifications)
Questions 2, 3 and 4 are related to the map.

Questions 5-7 are related to the sequence of pictures.

The SPEAK Test measures the ability of non-native speakers to communicate orally in English. The test consists of 12 questions, each of which is intended to elicit a particular speech activity from examinees. These speech activities are based on language "functions" such as narrating, apologizing, persuading, recommending, and giving and supporting opinions.


Toward Speaking Excellence, 2nd Ed is very helpful for the SPEAK test.
There are many examples (questions and real responses with analysis) and several sample tests (for TSE).

I take SPEAK in August.

Actually, the SPEAK test looks like the old 12-question TSE (before they changed to 9-questions format). In which case, the first edition of the Toward Speaking Excellence book might be more appropriate.
