I am going to take the CPE (Certificate of proficiency in English) examination this December.
I am confident about acing the written test.
The spoken exam is what worries me.
I'm sure I'll pass. But I want an A.
Any of you have any tips, about the exam in general, and the speaking part of it, in particular?
Thanks.

I would be grateful for any advice you gave me.
I have started a language log to record my progress.

Cambridge CPE? Think of a couple of your favourite interests and some current events that you might encounter for the oral part, and read up on appropriate vocabularies. Controversial opinions of yours might reveal that you don't just regurgitate but do some independent thinking.
There might be example subjects for orals to be found by Googling; I got "What's your opinion on advertising?" The examinators almost seemed to be more interested in my views on recent Swedish events than in evaluating my English. Go for a dialogue!
Wishing you all the best, and please keep us updated!
