How can I prepare for my french oral exam?

This is how I would approach the student's question:I would suggest we come up with a list of questions that are likely to come up during the oral exam and prepare appropriate answers together. We would then practice the answers. The entire process would take place in French for the student to become more comfortable speaking the language. I would teach the student to communicate fluidly by describing an idea if they can't find the word they are looking for. Examiners want to see that A-level students can build an argument, show their opinion, communicate an idea clearly and can debate about a current topic. We would therefore research a topic in the news at the moment relevant to France or the french culture and elaborate talking points around this topic.
