Ideally if you can find someone who speaks english fluently to practice with, it would be helpful. In any case, I think the most important thing you could do is to try to remain calm on test day....Take your time, be polite, don't worry that you feel like you're not getting enough medical information. Appearing to be calm and in control will take you a lot further even if your language is not great and you don't get every last tad bit of medical information from the patient.
