General Tips

• The night before the exam don't drink any alcohol or too much coffee. Don't smoke weed and don't eat late and get up as early as feels good for you.
• Make sure you are well on time at the exam venue. Rather wait 30mins in front of the exam center than having to rush there.
• Learn the following standard phrases:
  
  
  • "Das habe ich leider nicht verstanden" = I'm sorry, but I didn't get that.
  • "Könnten Sie das bitte wiederholen?" = Could you repeat that please?
  • "Könnten Sie ein bisschen langsamer sprechen?" = Could you speak a bit slower, please?
  • "Noch einmal bitte." = Once again, please.
  • "Wie heißt das auf Englisch?" = What's that called in English?
    
• If you are too nervous and don't have any problem with alcohol, simply drink a tiny (!) portion of Schnaps (non-smelly alcohol) and drink it just before entering the examination room, maybe in the toilet or mix it with a bit of orange juice so no one gets suspicious and it'll taste a lot nicer. Alcohol even in small doeses loosens you up. That's a good thing in an oral exam.
