Malaysian University English Test (MUET)

Yes, I have sat for the exam and scored band 3. Do you think I am qualified to give out some tips?

Well, actually I'm not going to share the tricks for answering MUET papers, but more on sharing my past experience when sitting for MUET. I think this post is very suitable to be read by UIA students especially. If you feel like reading this post is wasting your time and this post isn't helpful, then you are free to leave. Hehe.

For UIA students, err, I'm telling you that MUET isn't that useful in UIA. Although if you scored band 6 either, once you enrolled to UIA, you will need to sit for special English test named English Placement Test (EPT). No automatic exemption for you. For CFS students, you have nothing to worry about if you have been exempted from the test. 

For other public + private institutions, MUET is a MUST for you.

I took my MUET exam last year, final year session, at UIA PJ.

Speaking

My speaking assessment was held earlier than writing and the rest. During speaking test, I was given a topic on how to curb disciplinary problems in school. When presenting my point of view, I was stammering throughout the section A and freely the examiners deducted my marks. So sad.

For speaking test, it consists of two tasks. A and B. (or 1 and 2? forgot already).

  • Task A : You are required to present your point of view based on the topic discussed with your given position. 
  • Task B : Group discussion. You are required to discuss in your group about choosing the best method/suggestion within stipulated time. You may use others' point and argue nicely with correctly used terms e.g. (Sorry for interrupting, but....). Google for more commonly used terms in speaking test! For UIA students who have sat for EPT (English Placement Test), this part is just similar to our speaking test. Just follow the rule! 
Some useful tips:
 
  1. Please! DO NOT CONQUER the whole conversation. The test is for 4 candidates, not for you only. Don't you feel annoyed if someone dominates the talk without giving any chance for you to talk? 
  2. Prioritize your fluency first, then grammar. Although grammar is very important, but don't let it affect your fluency and eloquence. 
  3. If possible, be the one who leads the conversation, this may give you more marks.
  4. The more you counter others' view, the more marks you may get. Make sure your points are logic to counter others' points.
  5. Make sure you do understand the question so that you won't blabber too much with unnecessary points. A girl in my group, she asked the instructors about the topic in which she didn't understand after presenting her point. The instructors gave face gesture among themselves and asked the girl to perform in the next task. Pity on her. 
  6. You can watch some demos on MUET Speaking test at [here].

Writing

For writing, you will need to write two essays.

  • First essay : Analysis essay. You need to study the given stimuli (usually a graph and a table). Then summarize and write about them, in X words (forgot already). If you exceeded the limit, the rest of the points will be left unread. For this essay, you should include the specific way of writing and correct techniques. If you don't follow the techniques, your marks will be deducted despite having good grammar and wide vocabulary. *The most detested part in MUET*
  • Second essay : Opinion-based essay. Writing about argumentative essay. My topic last time was about arranged marriage. Do you agree? lol. Many friends smiled while writing the essay. Huh.

I have no idea about the correct techniques that must be used. Go and find some other resources to know about writing format.

It is good if you read a lot. By reading, you can enrich your general knowledge. This may be useful to relate your essay with additional quotes and facts that you know.

Do more practice on grammar also. Grammar is the backbone of English. 

Reading

Reading part, the part that will make you drowsy. I advise you to bring some drinking water into the examination hall so that you won't have your beauty sleep during the exam.

How to answer reading questions? Simple! You need more exercises. The more exercises you do, the easier for you to tackle the question. Bring some highlighters, and highlight for any hints that you found.

My skill on answering reading paper: I didn't read the whole text, but simply jumped into the questions straight away to avoid reading those that-so-called bed time story, and looked for the answers on the text by using skimming and scanning skill (very important reading skill). Google it!

Listening

The only things that you need are a pencil/pen and an eraser. If possible, you may dig your ear and clean the earwax that blocks/limits your hearing capability because you need your ear and brain to work together.

During the exam, make sure you focus 100% on the radio and let your brain think faster. The radio will read out any conversations, advertisements, podcast, etc. The information that you need to fill up may differ but same meaning, so you need to think very fast. If you missed, don't panic! Just go ahead. The radio will read out twice, so no worry. Use your common sense for the missing parts, don't leave them empty!

*********************************************************************************

These tips perhaps aren't that good and helpful as what you expected them to be, because I'm not a teacher/lecturer/examiner who teaches and marks MUET papers. I'm sharing this based on my previous experience when I was taking MUET. I didn't really put my interest during the exam because it is not really important for UIA students. For us, as long as you have sat for the exam, then you're free to get through your study in UIA. No required bands for us, except for some critical courses: Medical, Dentistry, Pharmacy (minimum band 3). 

For better tips, just google for International English test (IELTS/TOEFL) to see some useful tricks that could be used in MUET.

Good luck anyway! :D

p/s: very bad writing, I know...

Many test takers dread dealing with standardized test questions in the true/false format, as they think that these types of questions are more difficult than the other standardized test questions. True/false questions can be tricky and it is important that you pay very close attention to the details of each question before you mark your answer.

Standardized Test Taking Tips for True/False Questions:

  • Don't skim over true/false questions. Carefully read every word of the question, keeping in mind that the tiniest detail can affect the answer.
  • Pay attention to negative words and prefixes (such as un, non, etc.) that impact the meaning of a statement.
  • Watch for double negatives, such as "not unlikely." If an event is "not unlikely," that means it is in fact a likely occurrence.
  • Watch for qualifying modifiers (words like sometimes, usually, probably, might, etc.) tenc to be used in true statements.
  • Watch for extreme modifiers (words like always, never, absolutely, only, no one, the best, the worst, etc.) that may make a statement false that seems at first glance to be true.
  • Remember that questions that are only partially true are in fact false.

Assalamualaikum

Today I would like to briefly speak out of my opinion regarding MUET. Darn ! What is MUET? Its' Malaysian University English Test. I have taken this test as I was doing my Foundation TESL in UiTM Kuantan couple of years ago.


Yesterday I saw one of my lecturer stated that more than half of the students who're doing Foundation in Law failed to gain band 4 in MUET and it is one of the requirement for the students to further their studies in higher level IF they wanted to study LAW or TESL.

In my opinion... IN MY OPINION... you can't judge the students ability just with one TEST. Oh no! its FOUR test with speaking, listening, writing and reading. And another "Oh no!" because you can't be too stupid not to get band 4. Yea yea yea! Hell right! Getting band 4 is a piece of cake. Secret recipe cake I guess? Or my future fountain wedding cake? *yummy*

To be honest, my MUET result did not enlighten my world. I can still remember as I was sitting for the listening test. I was not feeling well. I kept coughing. I had fever at that time due to some hard work done for 2 weeks before that. I was too weak. Plus, my mom was not there at that moment. She was in Mekah for a couple of weeks. I coming out non stop and my face turned red as the cili padi. *spicy* I can see Yan looked at me and asked me either I'm doing good. Hey ! Do I need to tell this? The moment I felt my whole body is going to burst out? No no no.. MAJLIS PEPERIKSAAN MALAYSIA would not like to hear my story. They are only interested my with result. Is it their fault? Of course no. It is my fault. Totally my fault. For not taking care of myself. it is MY FAULT. No doubt !!!

Because of MUET, my TESL's friends went studying separately. Around of applause for those who managed to pursue their bachelor in TESL education. *tepuk amoi-amoi amai-amai*

There was one friend I still wonder what is he doing at this moment. He was quite brilliant. But I am not sure if he managed to continue his study or he stops just right there. *one story telling*

There were also my friends who were very fluent in English. Can't beat them. My english is too simple. I don't really have bombastic words cause I will always forget. *ka-ching* They were very fluent and speak better English but they do not have the chance to study TESL.

So, for those who have the ambition of studying Foundation in TESL or LAW. Prepare yourself from now on. Everything is going to be your responsibility. And your luck. Seriously? Luck? It is actually the will of God.

And MUET, for sending me to UiTM KBM (kota bandaraya Melaka) and MSU (Management and Science University). I should thank you and hug you tighly. *xoxo*

InshaaAllah... The best plan, is the plan of GOD
Allah s.w.t
The One and Only God.
Allahuakbar !

♥ SYUKRAN FOR READING ! ♥

Malaysian University English Test (<b>MUET</b>) Guide | Malaysia Students

Malaysian University English Test (MUET), first launched in 1999 and administered by Malaysian Examinations Council (Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia), is a test to measure candidates' English language proficiency. MUET is taken by students who intend to pursue their tertiary education at local public universities since it is a mandatory test to gain entry into degree courses offered at all Malaysian public universities. This test is carried out twice a year, in April/May and October/November. Candidates usually register through their academic institutions while private candidates through State Education Departments (Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri), with a registration fee of RM60.

Unlike International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) which are globally accepted as the certification of English language proficiency, MUET is recognized only in Malaysia and Singapore (National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University).

MUET consists of four components: listening, speaking, reading and writing. New test specifications have been introduced officially and will apply from MUET October/November 2008 onwards while old test specifications will still apply for MUET October/November 2007 and April/May 2008. The table below shows the detailed comparison between new and old format of MUET.

Candidates are rated into six bands – band one being the lowest and band six being the highest -- according to their test scores. The total score is 300 and the table below shows MUET band description.
Band Aggregated Score Description
6 260 - 300 Very good user - Very good command of the language. Highly expressive, fluent, accurate and appropriate language: hardly any inaccuracies. Very good understanding of language and contexts. Functions extremely well in the language.
5 220 - 259 Good user - Good command of the language. Expressive, fluent, accurate and appropriate language but with minor inaccuracies. Good understanding of language and contexts. Functions well in the language.
4 180 - 219 Competent user - Satisfactory command of the language. Satisfactory expressive and fluent, appropriate language but with occasional inaccuracies. Satisfactory understanding of language and contexts. Functions satisfactorily in the language.
3 140 - 179 Modest user - Modest command of the language. Modestly expressive and fluent, appropriate language but with noticeable inaccuracies. Modest understanding of language and contexts. Able to function modestly in the language.
2 100 - 139 Limited user - Limited command of the language. Lacks expressiveness, fluency and appropriacy: inaccurate use of the language resulting in breakdown in communication. Limited understanding of language and contexts. Limited ability to function in the language.
1 Below 100 Extremely limited user - Poor command of the language. Unable to use language to express ideas: inaccurate use of the language resulting in frequent breakdowns in communication. Little or poor understanding of language and contexts. Hardly able to function in the language.

Students that have taken MUET are eligible to be enrolled into degree courses offered at local public universities as long as their CGPA for Diploma STPM or Malaysian Matriculation examinations are good enough to fulfil the entry requirement. The difference between all these bands is that students from band 1 and 2 have to take two extra English courses during holidays while band 3 and 4 students take one extra course. Students with band 5 or 6 can skip the extra English course. Some competitive degree courses like medicine and pharmacy, however, require students to get band 5 or 6 in MUET.
