口语考试的形式、内容、评分标准不尽相同，因此考前一定要熟识考试的各个环节，然后进行更有针对性的准备。由于网络资源的发达，几乎所有口语考试的内容都可以在网上找到信息医.学.全.在.线.网.站.提供。
考研复试英语口试特点如下：
1. 各学校考试形式不同
对口语的考查，各个学校各不尽相同。有的学校制定了非常详细的标准和流程，甚至规定了每个老师发问的方式和时间;有的只是面试老师的自由发挥，成绩也基本上由面试老师主观判定。
2. 考试形式汇总
﹒个人介绍
让你或以问答的方式或以一个小小的独白来介绍自己。一般自我介绍包括个人信息、兴趣爱好、学习情况、未来计划几个方面，但时间都不会过长，大约持续一分钟左右。例如：
Good morning. I am glad to be here for this interview. My name is Li Ming. I come from Chang Chun, the capital of Ji Lin Province. I will graduate from Department of Finance of Ji Lin University in the coming June.
I am open-minded, quick in thought and very fond of traveling. In my spare time, I have broad interests like many other youngsters. I like reading books, especially those about Chinese history. Frequently I exchange with other people by making comments in the forum on line. In addition, during my college years, I was once a Net-bar technician. So, I have a good command of network application.
I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning. Of course, if I am given a chance to further my education in this famous University, I will spare no effort to master the latest knowledge in my field and make good preparation for my future profession.
﹒深入对话
考官进一步问你关于一些话题的看法。例如：
﹒ What kind of professions show status in your country?
﹒ Modern society is often called materialistic. Why do you think this is?
﹒What is the role of advertising?
﹒ How do you think the internet will affect buying patterns in the future?
﹒个人长谈
考官让你抽一个话题，给你1至2分钟准备，让你做1至2分钟的演讲。这部分比较接近雅思口语考试的第二部分。例如：Describe an activity in school.
When I was in middle school, I attended a training class for dancing, because then, many classmates of mine told me that dancing was not only a wonderful sport which could exercise my coordination which I used to be poor at, it could also improve my artistic taste, and many of them would attend the training. I was trained there for about 2 month. The instructor spent about 1 month training my basic skills like flexibility, music sense, sit-ups and pull-ups and basic movements like pony, sunrise and twist. To me, all those training items seemed more like an aerobics training class other than a dancing class, but who cares. Two month passed, and I didn’t think I really know how to dance well then. But later, when I was old enough to go dancing with my friends, all those training items seemed to work well, you know, I could dance a movement at only one sight of it, which is a mission impossible to most amateur dancers. This activity brought me a strong sense of achievement.
﹒考生对话
考官给你和另外一个考生一个话题，给你们一段准备的时间，然后让你们进行对话讨论。
﹒图片描绘，分析与讨论
这种形式非常接近考研笔试写作的图片作文，只不过是以口语的形式考。每个学校会根据自己的想法来指定考试的具体的形式，但一般都会包括以上的两到四个部分。
