Well, I finally took the Speech test last Friday. The written test felt very easy. I took the mini pre-test that Dante has and scored 70% so I wasn't super worried. But I still did some study on that Art of Public Speaking site, which is very good.
The speech part didn't go all that well, but I'm hoping I was able to tread enough water to get a pass. Leading up to the exam I did 6 practice speeches. I'm very glad I did.
Good Luck!

Did they only give you one option for the speech exam?
Let us know when you get your scores. Wish you well. I guess now you have the long wait.

It's not as bad as it seems. I used to compete in a category in which you are allowed 2 minutes to prepare a 5 minute speech. You just have to sound like you know what you're talking about. :coolgleam:
Hope the test goes great,

Did you get one of the topics you practiced? If so, was it from the Peterson's website?
