•٠· Shafiqka's Library (^_^) : Some Tips For Muet Writing

Posted: 19 Aug 2013 07:26 AM PDT

Hye guys! Thought wanna share with ya'll some tips I found for MUET Writing. For additional information, and besides, thought of getting myself used to generating ideas for writing. Haha

Okay. These infos are taken from various websites. Here we go!

There is a way to score well in MUET. One thing for sure , never rely on your listening part even though i can guarantee almost all of you would score a perfect score in school level. WHY? 90% Of the time , the speakers in school tend to play a prank on us. Yes, they're always very "echo-ish" and you can't possibly listen well. Besides, Listening only gives you 15 % of the marks. BUT , i am not asking you to totally abandoned it.Just , do not trust the school speakers.

The most important part is the reading comprehension. It weigh up to 45 % of your marks. that's like almost half of the total marks. So , this part is VERY important. I used to suck a lot in this part until one day , i found a very effective way to understand the passage. UNDERLINE. that's the key word. Try to just read through very quickly the passage cause the passage tend to be very long , and later read the question , so you know roughly what to find in the passage. Then read again and underlined what you think it is important. You do not need to be someone with bombastic English to score in this part. The most important thing is , you understand roughly what the passage is about, and trust me you'll have no problem answering it. For the cloze text, you'll need to do a lot of sample test for it. Buy a lot of model papers to do for this paper and later you'll find most of the questions are almost similar. Remember , this section is very important. If you can score this part, you won't need to worry about not scoring a band 4 again.

The writing section is often the most difficult part. I scored a "so-so" mark for my writing , but i would say the question for the essays are usually difficult. They'll ask you things you never really thought of. So , never underestimate any important agenda around , cause that's the one that most likely to come out.I don't know , maybe it's kind of like a spell. (haha) however, it is important to know what is the hottest news in the country because giving a realistic examples is a huge credit.

Writing tips

1. Before writing an essay, you must know its basic structure. A MUET reference book might show you this.

2. Do task 2 first, because it is worth more mark and easier

3. Don't waste too much time on Task 1. Learn all specific writing structure for each type of task 1. In the real test, you just have to apply that structure with new data and suitable verb tenses. Read sample essays and take note good structure to have a wide range of academic structures for task 1. Some structure might be used in task 2 as well.

4. You must complete both tasks. I don't care how difficult the test is, I don't care how little time you got. You MUST complete your test at any cost. If you don't, you will be penalized very heavily.

5. Again, practice writing. Do both 2 tasks in one hour. You can focus only on task 1 or task 2, but before the test, you should practice writing both tasks to familiar with time limit.

6. Practice makes perfect. In writing, this statement is completely true. But it is better if there is someone to check writing for you and you can learn from your mistakes.

7. Writing requires wide academic vocabulary. You also have to buy a vocabulary book to work on and enrich your vocabulary.

8. Avoid all informal ways of writing. There are some rules of writing you should follow. For example: no abbreviations, no 1st and 2nd pronoun or possessive (I, you, me, my, your), except in conclusion where you have to state your opinion.

9. Each body paragraph has to include: topic sentence, supporting sentences (2-3 sentences), development sentences (evidence: example, experience, data). In many languages (English included), there are many ways to develop a body paragraph, which results that topic sentence is not the first sentence. But you are advised to put topic sentence at the beginning of each body paragraph. Don't be creative in this case.

That is all I can think of. I hope you will be lucky in your exam and what I wrote will help you in one way or another. But REMEMBER, to reach success, you MUST make an effort. You should have a clear motivation and a strong will to overcome difficulties. When I did practice tests, I was exhausted. But no success comes easily. Practice is the only way to gain success. Don't just wait for lucky break, it will never come if you don't know how to grab it.

And the final point I want to mention is:

Relax before the test!

Attempting to do one or two practice test before the real test won't help you increase your score. In return, it will make you feel stressed and unconfident.

Here.

You can also find some post on a blog relating to MUET here.

This is what I first found on the blog when I reached there.

bout other "degrees" you can get).

As for the first three points – everything depends on you only. Just be patient, and think before you do something. As for the last part, writing MUET essays, we would like to give you a couple of tips.

Let us consider several specific issues about MUET essays:

Demonstrate your writing skills: mind the logical transitions between words, sentences, and parts of your MUET essay.
Prove your perfect understanding of the language. Do not use some difficult words you do not know how to spell for sure. Your MUET essay is not the right place for experiments. So, do not make such mistakes.Try to write up to the point. You will get a topic to disclose in the MUET essay. Do not deviate from the main idea of your essay. Use interesting examples (real-life examples are preferable).

In fact, MUET is an optional test. So, if you think you are not that good at reading or you will not be able to write a good MUET essay, you can choose some other way to enter the desirable university.

Also, some MUET Writing Scripts.

*UPDATED

People have been telling me that MUET is JUST MUET. Contaminated by the thought that MUET is EASY, I didn't put much effort when I sat for the end of 2009 MUET. I perceived MUET as just another English test to sit. I simply thought that as long as I pass the minimum band requirement for my college, it is good enough. I only spent a few hours the night before the test by going through several essay questions to kick-start my brain and that was it. Despite my little effort and much to my astonishment, I scored a Band 6 in MUET. J I am very grateful that Lady Luck was on my side. However, some of my friends weren't very lucky. They had the same mindset as I did – no need to do preparations, just achieve the minimum band and rejoice. Sadly, quite a number of them had to re-sit the test as they scored below the required band for our college. Hey, MUET IS A HIGHER LEVEL ENGLISH TEST. If you screw it once, you'll have to pay and re-sit for another. And because I don't want others to face what my friends faced, I wish to help everyone out there who is eager to perform well in their upcoming MUET. So here are some brief introduction and tips on how to ace MUET based entirely on my experience.

Firstly, there are 4 papers to sit for MUET: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. The Speaking test is conducted on one day, while the Listening, Reading and Writing tests are held altogether on a different day.

What to expect: 20 questions consisting of both MCQ and subjective questions. The tape will be repeated twice and extra time will be given for you to answer all the questions.

My experience: I have to say that I am very lucky for MUET. I was seated in the first row and the radio was right in front of my desk. Unlike my friends who sat far behind and could only hear whispers of voices, I could hear loudly and clearly – word by word. Very lucky, weren't I? *grins*

Tips: Frankly speaking, the questions for listening test are pretty easy and straightforward. You just have to listen attentively and take your time in answering the questions. I have to warn you that the questions are not in sequence with the dialogue so you should first brief through the questions before the session starts. Don't panic if you missed a point as the tape will be repeated for a second time.

Well, I hope that I've made MUET easy for you. May you have a great MUET experience and score one of the high bands. MUET is rather tough if your English isn't strong but fret not because practice makes perfect. JBuy a MUET exercise/sample papers/past year compilation book to have a better grasp of this test. If I can score a band 6, why can't you? I am neither a debater nor a public speaker. I speak in my mother tongue (which is not English!) 24/7 at home. So if I can ace a band 6, I'm pretty sure you can too.

Have faith in yourself and all the best, folks! xD

Reading Test

What to expect: A total of 45 objective questions; 10 are True/False questions. The questions are based on several passages. Duration of 90 minutes.

My experience: Honestly, this paper was the most difficult for me. The passages were difficult to understand as a broad range of vocabulary was in use. The MCQ choices were very tricky and time constraint made it even worse. I didn't even have the time to recheck my answers.

Tips: Truth be told, you need to practise answering some MUET sample questions as preparation. I didn't try any questions and oh my, I was so stumped that it took me a long time to understand the passages! The passages are very difficult to comprehend but I suppose that if you're used to reading newspapers it wouldn't be a problem. When answering the paper, read the excerpt first (understand the main idea), then go through the questions briefly and finally read the excerpt again. Underline or highlight sentences that are related to the questions. Most importantly, FOCUS! Don't bother looking at other candidates or build castles in the air. Trust me, the 90 minutes is not enough!

Writing Test

What to expect: 1 summary (comparison) question based on a graphic. The graphic can be tables, graphs, short excerpts or even bar/pie charts. You are required to make comparison based on the graphic provided. Also, 1 essay question; usually argumentative. 90 minutes.

My experience: The night before my MUET, I sat with my roommate and we brainstormed on points for the essay, new words, idioms, quotes and the like. I've always loved writing so I wasn't very worried for this section.

Tips: For the summary question, familiar yourself with comparison words. Use words like 'better than', 'higher', 'rise', 'elevate', 'levelled out', 'equal', 'reduce' and 'lessen' to give your essay a boost. Concentrate only on the main points as you are to write a very short 200 words summary. You should first compare on the statistics/graphs/etc given, then add 1 or two points based on your understanding of the graphic. Or in other words, write a few lines on your inference on the graphic. As for the argumentative essay, try to memorise a number of bombastic words and idioms to beautify your essay. You shouldn't simply memorise them but you ought to know how and when to use them. Also, check out a thesaurus to find synonyms for useful words that you may want to use repetitively. For instance, alternatives to 'thus' are 'therefore', 'hence', 'consequently' and 'as a result'. In addition, to defend your stand, use words like 'justify', 'strongly belief', 'affirm', 'emphasize' and et cetera. If you are weak in writing, avoid composing a lengthy essay. The longer you write, the more grammatical errors you'll make. Try to write a short but compact essay.

Listening Test

What to expect: 20 questions consisting of both MCQ and subjective questions. The tape will be repeated twice and extra time will be given for you to answer all the questions.

Have faith in yourself and all the best, folks! xD

Reading test
There are not many tips to share in this test, it is similar to Form 5 SPM English exam, just do your best. There are some tricky questions with similar answers. If you are lucky, you could get a perfect score here but usually the better students would be able to get near perfect scores, making a few mistakes here and there.

Writing test
Seriously, I have always told people that the writing test in MUET is even easier than SPM GCE 'O' Level. In this test, it is important to keep to the rules, follow the recommend length of essays and finish them in allocated time.

Even if you are a good English user, do not attempt to write beyond the recommended length. Concentrate instead on presenting your main ideas, this test papers are marked by Malaysian teachers, so don't bother having too many idioms, figurative meanings, etc.

For students who are not too comfortable with English, this may be one of the tests which you would tend to lose many points. To avoid that, keep your sentences short, check your grammars, try to compensate for your lack of flowery language with good ideas, mature arguments and logical explanations.

To be honest, it is not so easy to score a Band 6 in MUET after all. It is not the perfect test, but it is indicative of one's command of English, mainly because it includes listening and speaking tests. Good luck scoring a Band 6 in MUET on your first try, do let me know if my tips are useful.

Hint for listening: write notes

Hint for writing: write with a lot of bombastic words and check your grammar. Remember to compare and contrast the two sets of data you get in your first writing task well.

Hint for reading: read very carefully for answers in the text

Here's something for you to ponder about. I can only give the three upper band as a motivation to you and I.

Band 6 – Very good user(Aggregated Score: 260 – 300)
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.

Band 5 – Good user (Aggregated Score: 220 – 259)
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.

Band 4 – Competent user (Aggregated Score: 180 – 219)
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.

We need to think positively, but not to forget to put some EFFORT in it. XD

I know, we are all scared for the writing part. Honestly, in my opinion, Listening, you just have to make sure that you clean up your ear wax in your ear (LOL. But it's important!). Reading, for me, I must not be careless, read the text well, and choose the RIGHT answer. Writing... it depends on individual. Mostly said that use bombastic words, and make sure your essay isgrammatically correct. I'd like to add another one, KEEP UPDATED ON LATEST NEWS!!

Hope it helps ya'll. And me. All the best to all of us taking MUET this coming 13th Nov.

P.s.: Wait for more updates from me after I'm done with this MUET thingy! XD

<b>MUET</b> ( <b>Malaysian University English Test</b> ) - assesment in education Posted: 29 Oct 2015 07:22 PM PDT MUET ( Malaysian University English Test ) Today I'm going to introduce about MUET, one of the famous assesment of education in Malaysia. Students want to pursue a degree at present, they have to make MUET to enter the university . In addition, I want to say that the existence of a valuation test MUET we can measure a person's level of fluency in speaking english . In addition to produce a graduate who can understand and speak english . Have you ever heard of the term – MUET? This abbreviation, quite prominently heard of especially among pre-university students, actually stands for – The Malaysian University English Test. It's an English test created by the Malaysian government to set a benchmark for English among Malaysian students. So if you are planning to pursue your degree in a local university, keep reading – because I will tell you all the information you need. MUET is compulsory for all STPM (Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia) and matriculation students, as well as diploma and pre-university students who wish to pursue a first degree program in local universities. There is no entry requirement for MUET. For STPM and matriculation candidates, MUET will automatically be a required subject for all students to take, but it will not be shown in your result slip. There will be a separate result slip for MUET. How is the test format like? There are a total of four papers in MUET ranging from Listening (800/1), Speaking (800/2), Reading (800/3) and Writing (800/4). This is to ensure that students master all four skills, rather than just being good at one but struggle with the other three.The Malaysian government's aim is to produce students who can converse in English comfortably, but more than just that – students who can master the English language in order to become a competent competitor in the corporate world with English being the International Language in this age and time. MUET used to be held only twice a year during the middle of the year between April and May, and during the end of the year between October and November. But from 2012, MUET is now held up to three times a year – in March, July, and November. The answer is – YES. You can retake MUET if failed in your first test, or if you're dissatisfied with your results. There is no limit to this – however, it will be wise for students to plan ahead. Students should bear in mind the local university intake period. This is because only students who have taken MUET are eligible to register themselves into a degree course at local universities. Students can still take MUET even after they have graduated from STPM or matriculation. However, it is best to obtain both STPM/matriculation results along with MUET's results so that students can immediately apply for their desired courses when the registration for local university application opens. When students obtain their MUET result, the result slip will show marks of all the 4 individual papers – which will then be summarized into Band 1 to Band 6 (Band 6 being the best). The average grade for MUET is Band 3. Any lower than that (Band 1 or Band 2), students will have to take two extra English courses during school holidays. Students who score a Band 3 and Band 4 will only have to take one extra course. Students who score a Band 5 or Band 6 can be exempted from the extra course. (However, this may vary from different schools, depending on the arrangement of their syllabus). Here's a brief summary of each Band: Band 6 – Very good user (Aggregated score: 260-300) 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. Band 5 – Good user (Aggregated score: 220-259) 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. Band 4 – Competent user (Aggregated score: 180-219) Satisfactory command of the language. Satisfactory, expressive and fluent. Approriate language but with occasional inaccuracies. Satisfactory understanding of the language and contexts. Functions satisfactorily in the language. Band 3 – Modest user (Aggregated score: 140-179) Modest command of the language. Modestly expressive and fluent, appropriate language but with noticeable inaccuracies. Modest understanding of the language and contexts. Able to function modestly in the language. Band 2 – Limited user (Aggregated score: 101-139) Limited command of the language. Lacks expressiveness, fluency and appropriateness: inaccurate use of the language resulting in breakdown in communication. Limited understanding of language and contexts. Limited ability to function in the language. Band 1 – Extremely limited user (Aggregated score: below 100) 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. In my view MUET be implemented because we can identify students who are having trouble understanding english. In addition to the performance evaluation tests MUET can provide opportunities for students who are out of town as well as to better understand english. It can also provide an opportunity for them to be more willing to speak in english because MUET requires students to communicate fluently. I hope MUET assessment tests can be further improved in terms of quality assessment. This is because it can provide opportunities for students to learn how to improve english and get higher scores in tests assessing MUET . Teachers should help students to achieve excellent results in the evaluation .

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:

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?
Prioritize your fluency first, then grammar. Although grammar is very important, but don't let it affect your fluency and eloquence.
If possible, be the one who leads the conversation, this may give you more marks.
The more you counter others' view, the more marks you may get. Make sure your points are logic to counter others' points.
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.
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...

I've been meaning to write this post but I kind of forgot about it until recently, when I found my MUET Certificate lying around. I took my MUET around September last year and I took the test at a local school. I had a draft prepared about this but I misplaced the paper which I had already jotted down what to do and what to not do. But here, I'll share something that might be useful for you though you might already have some idea on how to face your MUET.

Well, without further ado, let's jump right into it!

+ Do prepare yourself, physically and mentally.

By this, I mean, have a good night sleep and get enough rest for your test. Prepare yourself by doing english language activities and grammar practices. I think it would serve as an advantage if you read up on recent issues happening, be it globally or local. You never know what will be asked during your test or what you're going to write about. Grammar! What can I say, do lots of practices or just read. I still have problems with my grammar but maybe reading does help, little by little.

+ Check the time written on the board!

I really want to stress about time. I don't know if this could be considered as a major problem or not, but, when I took my Muet essay writing test then, the teachers who were on duty forgot to correct the time that they wrote on the whiteboard. The paper started at 10.30am so it was supposed to end at 12.00pm. But instead of writing that, it was on plain view to see that the paper will end at 12.30pm. For those who were not aware of the actual time given (like me), they really thought the paper will end at 12.30. If this happen, please note the teachers who are currently on duty so that others will also notice. In my case, I really took my time whilst writing and then when it was 11.30, we were told that there were 30 minutes left. I was shocked because I was only ending my Task B. That means, I only have half an hour to do my Task 1. Imagine the speed of my pen, whilst proceeding to Task 1 .

+ Check your watch!

I brought along my watch so that I wouldn't have had to strain my neck to see the time (the clock was put in front of the class). Also, in my case, at exactly 11.40, my watch died. I didn't notice it until I put my pen down and saw that I still had another 20 minutes left. It was surprising because I was very sure time passed whilst I was writing. I was not sure what the time was at that time but after I reread my essay back, we were told we only have five minutes left. So, moral of the story, make sure your watch is in good condition (the battery is drained or not!) or bring an extra, just in case. We never know what will happen, right? Our clock was knocked off of the table (and it broke) but thankfully they have extra.

+ Prioritize.

Okay, here, I am just suggesting on what you should do or could do but it does not necessarily needs to be done. For me, I tend to take a lot of time while writing. There are two questions on the writing essay test right? So, in my case, when I write..let's say..task 1, I also think about what I'm going to write for Task 2. So, I couldn't focus because my mind is working simultaneously. But that is just an example of a situation to describe...me (or how I answered). Well, when I took my test the other day, I started off with Task 2 because it generated the most mark which is 60 marks. I started with that because I also considered the number of words needed and the points which I'm going to write about. If I started with Task 1, I will waste more time because while writing for Task 1, I will be distracted by Task 2 (thinking on what to write). So, think about your time management and prioritize which is important. If you think you could finish Task 1 on time, then go ahead and start with Task 1. If you're afraid that you're going to take more time on Task 1, thus leaving you with less time to finish Task 2, then start with Task 2. It is all up to you! Your choice.

+ Be fair and helpful.

During my speaking test, I was very nervous because to be honest, I prefer writing more than speaking. I can speak in Bahasa, no problem but I have problems speaking in English. I'm trying to improve, but I still can get away with wrong grammar and the stutter. Okay, so during my speaking test, I found that we were very helpful with each other. I don't know but it seemed like we had silent understandings with each other. When I'm done with a point, I'll pass it to the other person in my group by saying "What about you?" "What do you think?" "What's your view?" etc. They also did the same so we had no problem communicating. Do not try to dominate the discussion. Be fair. Let each of you have your turn to speak. If you took a lot of time talking, what about the others? Will they have enough time to elaborate? So please, be considerate. Plus, as a group, you need to think about the time limit so be helpful with each other and encourage your friend to talk until you reached the conclusion of your discussion.

+ Be attentive.

I was seated at the back on the class with a person behind me. Since we were at the back, it was a problem to listen to the radio. Plus in my case, I could not concentrate because of the sound of the fan and the sound of my surrounding. I can easily tune the sounds off, if I could but I couldn't so it was a challenge for me to stay attentive. But, if you're having problem to hear the radio, despite of being a minority in class (by having difficulties to hear, I mean), let the teachers know. They might take that into consideration. My friend who took the muet at a different school had it the hard way; during their listening test, they had to bear the sound of airplanes landing and taking off. So, focus on the radio and don't think of anything that has nothing to do with your test. It tend to distract you.

+ To help or not to help

Well, this was my biggest fear during the test. Before my speaking test, an aquaintance asked for my number so that we could help each other prepare for our writing test which was to be held at a different day. Much to my surprise, when I was having my speaking test, I received a text asking me what came out. She hasn't had her turn at that time so I was hesitant to tell the title of our discussion because I'm afraid I will get caught or the likes (me being my paranoid self). So, I chose to wait after some time then I replied. But I didn't tell my topic straightaway lah. However, there were three sets of question so the probability of us getting the same topic is very low. So, if you were in my place, what would you do? The choice is again, yours to make!

So, that is it, my sharing about my Muet tips. I guess you already expected some of them but I do hope you get something from my experience.

Laki Terok: Malaysian University English Test (MUET)

Posted: 06 Jan 2015 03:38 PM PST

5 Januari 2015, bermula tepat jam 10 pagi laman web MUET merupakan laman tersibuk kerana mendapat kunjungan daripada ribuan orang. Kenapa? Hari tu merupakan hari di mana keputusan MUET bagi sesi November 2014 diumumkan. Yeayyy! Dah jangan seronok sangat sebab mesti ada yang sedih dan kecewa dengan keputusan yang diperoleh.

Berbalik pada cerita semula. Alhamdulillah, nasib ada alternatif lain bagi menyemak keputusan MUET selain daripada layari laman web berkenaan yang sememangnya takkan lepas kerana server down disebabkan terlalu ramai manusia yang bergelojak nafsu
nak tahu keputusan yang mereka peroleh. Jadi berbekalkan kebijakan yang Tuhan kurniakan ke aku, aku tak terus buang masa duduk ralit tekan butang refresh beratus-ratus kali untuk masuk ke laman tersebut, sebaliknya aku guna cara kedua yang lebih mudah dan efisien; sistem pesanan ringkas (SMS). Mudah memang mudah, tapi kalau masa tu kau cuma ada baki 5 sen kredit pun tak guna sebab cara yang mudah ni dicaj sebanyak 30 sen. Mudah kan? Tapi kena caj, hmm malas nak komen.

Lepas tunggu dalam dua minit, berbunyilah notifikasi handphone aku. Result dah dapat! Jadi mestilah kau rasa lega nak pulak bila kau lepas dari target yang kau harap. Keputusan melalui SMS ni cuma nyatakan Band yang kau peroleh tapi tak nyatakan sekali markah kau bagi setiap aspek yang diuji dalam MUET; Speaking, Writing, Reading dan Listening. Skala Band yang kau akan dapat pulak adalah antara Band 1-6, kalau kau dapat Wali Band ke atau apa-apa Band ke memang tak wajarlah. Gelaklah sikit! Penat aku buat lawak hambar tu. Yang gelak? Terima kasih.

Keputusan dah dapat, muka ada senyum tapi cuma satu yang tak henti berputar dalam kepala. Apa dia? Ya, markah yang aku dapat. Ingat nak senang, tapi yang menyenangkan tu tak details. Terpaksalah jugak aku ikut korang tekan butang refresh berkali-kali. Aip dah jangan nak kutuk, aku tetap bijak lagi walaupun guna jugak cara ni HAHAHA. Agak-agak lepas sejam berseronok tekan butang refresh tu barulah lepas dan dapatlah aku tengok markah aku untuk setiap aspek. Dalam masa sejam tadi bukan langsung tak lepas, tapi kalau lepas pun bila sudah aku isi no kad pengenalan dan nak tekan submit kena refresh semula. Ya, memang menaikkan kemarahan nasiblah aku ni penyabar orangnya HEHEHE.

Lepas dah tahu markah, aku dah mula rasa sikit tak puas hati sebab markah yang aku peroleh hanya 2 markah beza untuk naik Band. Heyyy, bukan tak bersyukur dengan apa yang aku peroleh, tapi tahu aku boleh dapat yang sedikit lagi baik. Sikittt lagi! Jadi aku pun bercadang untuk buat semakan semula, mana tahu dapat naik Band korang doa-doakanlah aku. Hmm, bercakap pasal MUET ni korang mesti nak tahu pengalaman kali pertama aku ambil MUET. Nak? Tunggu entri aku lepas ni, How Tragic My MUET Speaking Day Was!
