You study for the Spanish oral exam exactly like you would for any other language oral exam. Here are some tips to help you study for the oral exam: Practice with a native speaker and immerse yourself in the language (read books, watch movies in Spanish with English subtitles), be an active participant in lessons (ask questions) and do your homework, practice your pronunciation, practice answering questions either in front of a mirror or with a partner, and prepare some cue cards with important vocab/phrases that you can learn just before the exam.
