Talk Slowly
You’d be surprised how slowly you can talk on the TOEFL speaking section and still get a good grade. One way to slow down is take a deep inhale between each sentence. One deep inhale is only about 2 or 3 seconds long. Taking deep inhales does the following:
1. It helps the test grader keep up with you.
2. It gives you a chance to think about what you want to say next.
3. It calms you down.
