How to prepare

[Panda77]

Hi guys! This is my first post in this section of the forum and I have a question for all of you who are preparing for the TSE. I was awarded an assistantship and will have to take the SPEAK (the old TSE) as soon as I arrive at my university. Can anybody suggest me books or web sites in which to find sample questions? I’m not too concerned about accent, intonation and the like, I have been studying and working in English for the past 4 years and I shouldn’t have too much of a problem in these aspects. What I’m concerned though is becoming quick in formulating the answers. I really have a problem with “making things up” and the idea of having to talk with a machine disturbs me quite a bit. So, you see, I would like to find lots of sample questions so that I could practice answer the silly type of questions the test asks.
Sample questions, sample questions, sample questions ... is all I really need; do you know where I can find them?
Thanks a lot already.

The format of speaking test is the same as the old TSE. Please check Toward speaking Edition 1.

Good Luck.
