hello there gudcharmed!!!
Well I have posted the questions on my TSE exam way back Aug 23, you can scan it on the previous postings. Well to tell you about my experience I took the exam at HA cervantes in Los Banos I was pretty nervous when I got there. I did ok I guess! I just speak loud and clear on the microphone and adapted some american accent myself to atleast sound natural. Dont mind other people hearing you speak during the examination coz although you are in a cubicle you might get too conscious that instructors are outside who can hear you, dont mind them. I do away with the uhm and a long pose between thoughts ans sentences I just continuosly talk as normally as I can. I did not enrolled myself to a review center, I bought a casette recorder and practice on the questions previously posted here and timed my responses to every question and also making sure that I speak clearly and comprehensively. I think it is also important to put a stress on your answer before the time is off like putting a definite conclusion on your response because sometimes you can get carried away explaining your thoughts and ended up blurring the main thought of your answer. oh and I also watched a lot of american films even tried to practice a few lines from it sounding like them lols..... if that is a plus. Anyways good luck on your exam hope you also pass!!!!
