What are the most common mistakes in the Irish Leaving Certificate Portuguese Higher Level Speaking exam?

Short answers without development. Insufficient justification of opinions. Switching out of the target language during pressure moments. Limited topic-specific vocabulary reduces clarity. Inconsistent tense control when narrating past and future events. Responses stay too short and miss opportunities to justify opinions. Task instructions are only partially answered, reducing score potential. Grammar control drops under pressure when switching tense or structure. Vocabulary becomes repetitive instead of adapting to the specific prompt.
