研究生入學考試初試的結束意味着複試已經悄然被提上日程。和初試不同，複試不是絕對化的客觀性考試，而是一種面對面的交流。如此一來，一些細節性的東西就凸現出來了，在我們英語口試過程當中更是如此，我們應該予以高度的重視，提前做好準備，這樣我們方能夠知己知彼百戰不殆。
一、複試中的口試要求
1、評價標準：
(1)語言準確性(語法和用詞的準確性、語法結構的複雜性、詞彙的豐富程度、發音的準確性)
(2)話語的長短和連貫性(內容的連貫性、尋找合適詞語而造成的停頓頻率及長短、表達思想的語言長短等)
(3)語言的靈活性和適合性(語言表達是否靈活、自然，話語是否得體，語言能否與語境、動能和目的相適應)
2、口語測試一般包含如下兩部分：
第一部分：考查學生理解並回答有關日常生活、家庭、工作、學習等問題的能力(3--5分鐘)
第二部分：考查學生連續表達的能力。考生從所給的問題中選擇一個話題，就此話題表達自己的看法(7--10分鐘)。
3、評價成績一般爲：
a優秀--能用外語就指定的話題進行口頭交流，基本沒有困難
b良好--能用外語就指定的題材進行口頭交流，雖有些困難，但不影響交流
