Ielts mock test-Mubs story

OK people
I took my practice speaking test today.Apart from me, Afaq and Katayoun managed to show up.
We had around 7-8 students willing to become the scapegoat and around 16-18 examiners.First, all of us were taken to room and introduced to the examiners, collectively.Later on, we were informed that each student would have to give 1 test and than a 2nd test to a different examiner, to give both the parties enough practice.
Fine with that..Each student was allotted alphabets from a-g and accordingly we dispersed to our respective separate rooms.

First interview:
2 people -1 asking questions verbally other was taking down notes
name of examiner: Elizabeth

2.Is it big or small?
3.Relating to the answer I gave, I was asked:

Comments I received from both the people at desk:
Easy to understand English
Confident person who rephrased sentences to get the point through
Pronunciation: good
Grammar: appropriate/enough variety
Fluency: really good

Second interview:2 examiners, one taking notes ,other doing the oral exam.
Name of examiner: Bob(good looking male )

9.What are your hobbies?
10.How did you start inculcating this hobby?

Task 2:(what/when /where/why)
What is a thing you own , that you like and why?
Ans:Talked about my car.

Comments from both people at desk:
Strong candidate
Used certain idioms, which suited my answers
Diverse range of vocabulary
Speaking clearly

After much coercing by me:
They found one negative point-I lost steam in one of the answers in the middle, but no deduction of marks will be done.
They could only think of this point saying they were basically nit picking.

After the exam they asked what I would like to do in future and why?
I said I would love to see the examiner in my real life ielts exam also ;)

My observation:
The examiners were too friendly, maybe helping us to get over our nervousness.
They were encouraging, some other students said too much.
Conclusion: they are humans, with emotions ,just trying to do their jobs.

before the exam :-
i tried talking to as many new people as possible, just to get my jaw exercise done and get over the jitters.
Loads of water drinking.
Divert your attention prior the exam by listening to music you like or you will be nervous/edgy and sweat like a p!g.
Be there at least 20 min before the exam.

(in the real exam there would only be 1 examiner with a tape recorder)

I hope i could be of any help

Well, iam off now, tired!!
