My "O" level English Exam is coming in a few weeks time and i'm pretty worried about my the way i'm speaking. The Exam consist of 2 parts- 1. Passage reading, 2. Topics discussion. I was thinking if it is advisable to speak to the examiners in English with British accent in it... i felt pretty wierd about it because i had never really tried that before but... is it good if i do that? Anyone have any tips or advices in taking Oral exam?

I'd strongly advise against trying to put on a fake accent. They don't care what accent you speak with (do you think Americans taking this exam would try to fake a British accent) as they are just checking that you speak clearly and with good grammar/vocabulary.
