3. Never try to copy any accent from other country, this does not impresses the interviewer. Rather, you can lose marks if the examiner detects any fakeness in your tone.
4. When you enter the test room, always start with greeting the examiner. You can say “Good morning” or “Hello”. Always be formal in your greeting.
5. Always be confident, but remember, being over-confident is also not required.
