Another factor to consider in any speaking test situation is that there is no need to be excessively polite. Speak when spoken to but don't be too over-active the moment you walk in the room like some wild bull let loose in the rodeo ring. Also bowing to the examiner as if you are a Japanese geisha, refusing to sit until the examiner sits, handing over a piece of identification or other material with two hands like in some formal award ceremony – this isn't necessary and has no direct correlation towards your score.
A speaking test is a measurement of your ability to answer and speak on a set of questions and topics – that's all. It has nothing to do with how much face you give or how much pigu you kiss.
Until you are asked a question you don't need to speak. Trying to talk about the weather, the number of students who the examiner has tested before you or commenting on whether or not the examiner is tired and wants to go to bed will not really help you. It's business! There are this many tests taking place in this amount of time. Get serious and adopt the right attitude. Think of the examiner as a policeman, neither friend nor foe rather merely a robot in the room who absorbs your spoken English.
It's all about time and doing your best in the time allowed. Usually a speaking test is limited, some are often a few minutes, some are five, if you are lucky you will get more than ten but as soon as you get the question get to work, try and keep talking until the examiner says stop or changes the topic.
