i remember doing mine a few years ago did not write any notes or prepare so had to wing it.
word of advice even if you say it perfectly calling your french teacher an "arrogant *****" will not earn you marks.

You must consume the still beating heart of a virgin french maiden...only then will you absorb their knowledge and be able to commune amongst their strange people...they may even accept you as one of their own, teaching you their ways, and making you into the chieftan of their tribe!
OOOOR you could just give it yer all and hope for the best without the book

Erm...OT: Well, I thought Google Translate was good but in that case there are dozens of self-help things on the internet.
If you're doing GCSE you should use BBC Bitesize.
Anything else and just search with your specific course. Naturally there are better forums such as The Student Room for this kind of thing.

"Oral Book"? contradictio in terminis?
Just listen to some Charles Aznavour and dress up like Alain Delon and you'll be fine.
Worked for me. Though I listened too much Serge Gainsbourg..

I did the french oral exam a week ago; some tips!
Don't panic! If you panic you will freeze up like jack thompson whenever somebody asks him for concrete proof of his claims.
Remember your emergency lines incase you get thrown a curve ball. Je ne comprends pas - "I don't understand", Je ne sais pas - "I don't know" and Désolé - "sorry"
Refer to the examiner as "madam/monsieur", politeness WILL get you marks.
Keep up conversation! your exam WILL NOT go as planned, so prepare accordingly with appropriate lines and prefixes(je trouve.. "I find...", jai suis... "I went...") demonstrate your capability with the past/present and future tenses as much as you can
look the ************ in the eye, and give him/her your best smile, show confidence, and they will think you are better than you are.
One way I practiced was I wrote out my predetermined lines, recorded myself saying them, and then I listened to the recordings on my way to school, it helps a whole bunch!
So what do you do now? contact a friend who speaks french, or at least has a french book, and practice with them (I did this using Skype and my girlfriend, and it is the best way to practice for the exam) write out your lines, gather a document and have a paragraph on it, you WILL get the chance to use it.
lastly, before the exam, PREPARE! if that means skipping a class (my school let us out an hour early) so you can get into french-mode, so fucking be it. do NOT go in with the first french word you've spoken in that day being "bonjour madam! Je m'appelle Death_Korps_Kommissar".
Good luck! Lemme know how you get on
