Jokes apart , Normally you as a candidate are encouraged to "speak" about the topic and they are not testing your knowledge rather they record and mark the English u speak with

P.S: I also recommend that u use the art of pause in ur sentences and try not to use slang and NEVER reply with a yes or no only Remember U are speaking !!!

It's not that without the entry you can't give the exam so all the dates are confirmed there but if it's not there then contact the council or the place where u submitted your form and ask them about the dated

Okay this is my second time, I am repeating it. Firstly, try to be calm, usually, the examiners are sweet and they would help you whenever you feel blank. Secondly, don't think about it as an exam but instead, think of it as a normal everyday life conversation. On top of that, TRY NOT TO PANIC OR YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK FLUENTLY, and that is what they care about the most.
Btw, before the exam starts and the examiner starts recording, there would be a small conversation betwenn you and the examiner about yourself and your hobbies.
this does affect the topic the examiner chooses to you, like last year, I talked about how much I wanna be a biologist before the recording so she gave me a topic about 'Education'
So just pray and be optimistic, its not that hard at all :D
These are all the topics, I only know the bulletpoints for these five. GOODLUCK EVERYONE :) ;)(y)
