<b>MUET Result</b> is out! ( Plus “How to Tackle Muet Exam” ) ? How does <b>...</b>

Posted: 21 May 2015 08:40 AM PDT

This day had finally come! So now I am looking forward to share my experience on "How to Tackle Muet Exam". To tell you in the first place, I get a Band 5 in my Muet exam, so I guess I'm quite a qualified student to teach you some of my techniques in facing MUET (ahahah). I was thrill and happy when I found out that I qualified for a Band 5, but at the same time, I was quite disappointed with what I had in my hand, because I was aiming for Band 6, either way, it was fine for me. To your knowledge, there is a total of 6 Bands in Muet, and Band 6 is for the high achievers. So first thing first, before you sit for your Muet exam.

1. Do a lot of practice!

Do not ever assume that Muet exam is as easy as you thought. Practice makes perfect, even if you take yourself as a proficient english learner. The preparation for Muet exam should be started a few months before the exam day, so don't be lazy and go get yourself a revision/practice book to get yourself familiarised with the questions. For me, the toughest would be the Reading paper. But it all depends, some think Essay writing is the toughest while others have different opinions. And it all comes back to you, you have to try it before you judge it. Practice on the Reading paper was recommended as it can improve your understanding about the question requirement and doing a lot of practice will help you in improving your techniques to choose the most accurate answer as you know objective questions can be quite confusing sometimes. (Reading paper is very important as it takes a substantial portion of the total marks among the four papers)

2.  Speak, don' t be mouth-shut!

Now here  comes the difficult part. Most people find it hard to perform during the speaking test. But there's a thing that you need to know–staying in silence during speaking test will not bring your marks any higher. So speak out loud with confidence even if you do not have a good english. English proficiency is not all that matters, what matters most is the courage to speak, the courage to express your own opinions. The examiners will see it through your effort, they would not put you in a Band 1/2 if you are brave enough to speak. However, speaking without content in it doesn' t help, so try to cover some general topics to get some ideas, or you could even brainstorm the ideas yourself, that would help you to generate new ideas to tackle the question given. To be honest, Candidate C and D usually had a rough time with ideas-generating. This is because Candidate A and B are given the most general idea and are asked to expand on it, thus these ideas can come flooding in easily. But when it comes to Candidate C and D, things will get a bit tricky and you'd better be prepared for it! If you are aiming for Band 6, remember to add some "special" phrases in between your sentences. These included, " Sorry to interrupt, I see your point there but…", " Your suggestion is good, but it may also give rise to other problems…", " I'm afraid the lack of time forbid further discussion at this point,…", " All of us have unanimously agree…".

3.  Listening is all about concentration!

Listening paper to me is okay. The only way to improve your listening is to expose yourself to english language. Try to do more practice on listening paper if you do not get involved in an english environment frequently. I personally recommended Oxford publisher as I think it' s one of the most stand-out english publisher. If you want to do it in a more relaxing way, try to listen to english TV programmes, radio programmes and try to catch every word it says and try to understand the said sentences. To whom who are native speakers of english, I guess there will be no problems for you guys in this paper.

4.  Write, write, write!

Essay writing is all about expressing your own opinion, there will be no right and wrong in judging someone's essay, so let go of your mind and write as you please. However, ideas must makes sense and have logic in it or else your essay will be considered "childish". To get Band 4 and above, the use of bombastic words is a must, so make sure you put in a few "wowing" sentences in your essay to surprise the examiners! Report writing has to be done  by following the format, and again practice makes perfect.

To all those taking Muet exam, the best of luck to all of you!
