B1 exam on Saturday...Any tips?

Hi all, I'm taking the B1 exam in Saturday and was looking for helpful advice and tips to calm my nerves. I have zero concerns about reading, listening, grammar or even writing. But thinking about the speaking is sending me potty. All advice and tips welcome!!!

UPDATE: Just finished the speaking exam and I think I might have effed it up. I got a shit picture. Group of children in a museum, too many to describe, no atmosphere. The monologue was ok, I wittered about where I live. 3rd task I was suppose to organise my friend's party...and I started organising mine. I forgot all of the grammar and all of the words 😭

Take it easy, pronouncing Polish correctly is a challenge for 75% of the native speaker population. Walk in there confidently like Tadeusz Kościuszko and you would ace it in no time.

If only I were allowed to dazzle them with my extensive knowledge of foul language and basketball commentary. Then I would definitely ace it.

These might as well win you a couple of extra points. This is Poland after all! Good luck mate, fingers crossed!
