Don't stammer and uhmm and ahhh and "hmm yes well that's a good question – let me think about that for awhile", or look off out the window as though you have just seen a flying pig cruise past. Talk, speak, use the time, blabber, and don't whatever you do, give a one word answer that forces the examiner to have to speak, think and ask another question. From what I know most examiners just want to sit back and listen, and soak up your language level.
I know some examiners who prefer to look away or even close their eyes so they can concentrate better on the actual English being spoken, and if this happens to you, it's ok. It doesn't mean they hate you or think you are nan kan, you also can look away and talk to the wall, it isn't really that important – what is important is the language and grammar and pronunciation and rhythm and tone coming from your mouth.
One issue is that for many candidates they are not familiar talking to a Laowai and just looking at one so close makes them lose their concentration, turns their mouth dry or makes their hand shake and knees go weak. So if you are one – just look away, and talk to some object behind them or to a piece of skin on their ear. Keep your cool and stay in control.
Remember it is all about your language so just keep talking as much as possible and really do your best to showcase your level. Push your language to the limit. Just like Super Voice Girl where the contestant had one song to show their beautiful voice, the speaking test is your chance to show your great spoken English.
