Are you ready for your audition? They are right around the corner!
For fast selections - practice your piece at a tempo that allows you to do ALL the details - not just getting the notes and rhythms perfect, but being accurate with the articulation and the dynamics. When that tempo becomes easy, notch up your tempo a little at a time over the course of days or weeks. You will attain a fast tempo with time and patience! No metronome handy?

Have you planned out where to breathe and marked in breath marks? Part of making your slow movement musical is to bring out phrases of music - the passages that seem to make a complete sentence - and be sure not to interrupt them with inappropriate breaths. Above all, the beauty of your tone should shine in the slow excerpt, so play with the purest sound you can make!
Tip: Play for an audience - see what feedback others have for your playing.
