Do I have to tell the truth in my speaking test??

There's an old saying in English, "Always tell the truth; it's harder to remember a lie."
I believe this is true. If you make up a story, it's harder to add the facts.
Now, while you are not marked on the 'truthfulness' of your answers in your IELTS, TOEFL or TOEIC speaking test, I believe that it's hard enough to respond to a question, let alone making up a story as you answer it!
Here's the point: become familiar with a wide range of questions that are asked in your speaking test and 'be ready to give an answer'. If you were going on a job interview, you would spend a lot of time planning answers to questions you think might be asked. It's the same with your speaking test.
There's another old saying in English: "The harder I work, the luckier I get". So, get to work, read a variety of past speaking test questions and practice answering them!
