feel, and how we conduct our behavior. Other
people can sense if we appear confident and
comfortable. Not only that, they might even reflect what they
see in us. On test day, it’s important to project an image
that says you’re intelligent, that you take the exam seriously, and
that you’re relaxed. You want to be comfortable while
sitting through the Writing and Reading sections of the test,
but you also want to show your best self to the Speaking section
examiner.   In order to do both, consider the following
“business casual” items: Slacks: These are the formal pants that
would go with a suit. If they’re black, they can go with
almost anything. Boots and leggings: For women, remember to
stick with something comfortable — no high heels. Blouse or
collared shirt: For men, there’s probably no need for a
necktie, but a nice button-up shirt can allow you to look and feel
relaxed while appearing professional.   You might want to stay
away from: Sweat pants or suits: These might look lazy, even
if they are comfortable. Blue
jeans: While jeans are better than sweat
pants, you might look better and feel just as
relaxed in a nice pair of slacks. T-shirts: This
might come off as too casual — especially if its a
t-shirt with images or text on it.   What are you
