The traps

The common mistakes in this question type. Learn to spot each one before test day.

Stopping before 2 minutes

Aim to speak for the full one to two minutes. Keep a few points in reserve so you do not stop early.

Ignoring the 1-minute prep time

You have one minute to make notes. Keep them short, so they help you speak instead of reading them out.

What to do next time

Use the bullet points to plan your answer. Cover the main topic and the details you can explain.
Put your ideas in a clear order. Start with the main topic, then add details.
Keep speaking until the examiner stops you. If they stop you at two minutes, you used the full time.
