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.

Top 10 Tips to Prepare Well for <b>MUET</b> | MyPrivateTutor <b>Malaysia</b> - Blog

exam tips

Different countries, especially those belonging to the Commonwealth or those which have other historical ties with the United Kingdom, have different tests to assess students' proficiency in English at different levels. This is relevant for Malaysia as well.

In Malaysia, a test known as the Malaysian University English Test (MUET), run by the Malaysian Examinations Council, is the most widespread one for admission to different universities.

MUET results are primarily acceptable in Malaysia and neighboring Singapore. It is also accepted by different universities, such as the Nagoya University in Japan. Good MUET scores also help to gain admission to some of the reputed universities of Singapore, such as:

  • The National University of Singapore
  • Singapore Management University
  • Nanyang Technological University

All students who are hoping to secure admission in the Malaysian Universities must pass the MUET. The scoring requirements for different bands are separate. Students aspiring to secure admission in the medical stream are required to obtain at least a Band 5 score. However, those who are planning to study law are required to obtain at least a Band 4. MUET is not just a prerequisite for aspiring university students. It is also required to be taken by teachers and police officers who desire to get a promotion and a salary raise.

A few details about MUET

  • Currently held thrice a year, in the months of March, July and November
  • Around 85,000 students take the test every year
  • Registrations can be completed at the State Education Department or online
  • Has four sub sections:
    • Reading
    • Writing
    • Listening
    • Speaking
  • The highest possible score are:
    • 120 for Reading
    • 90 for Writing
    • 45 for Listening and Speaking

Scores obtained by the candidates are graded into bands with Band 1 being the lowest and Band 6 the highest. It is never easy to score the best marks in MUET. It requires excellent command over the English language. The examinees need to speak fluent and accurate English and express themselves clearly in the language. Moreover, the exam also tests the understanding of the language and its context. Based on the proficiency of the examinee in the language, they are marked in the exam. Following are the different criteria of the marks given to the examinees:

Band 6: The candidate is required to score marks between 260 and 300. They need to have excellent command over English as well as the ability to express themselves fluently and accurately. It is difficult to score Band 6 marks if the candidate does not have exceptional command over English.

Band 5: This requires the examinee to score between 220 and 259, He is also required to be a good user of English with above-average command of the language as well as good ability of understanding the language and contexts.

Band 4: The participant gets Band 4 when their marks remain between 180 and 219. He is regarded as fairly competent in the language with reasonably good ability to express himself in it, although there might be a few inaccuracies.

Band 3: The participant getting Band 3 scores between 140 and 179 and is regarded as capable of expressing themselves modestly in the language with occasional inaccuracies

Band 2: Marks between 101 and 139 is considered to comprise the Band 2 score. The participant scoring this is regarded as having limited command and understanding of the language, with multiple inaccuracies.

Band 1: A user scoring in Band 1 gets marks below 100 and is regarded as having very poor understanding of the language and its contexts.

Here are a few proven ways in which you can maximize your chances of doing well in MUET:

Read Extensively:It is extremely important to read as much English as possible to do well in MUET. There are very reputed English magazines like Reader's Digest, Time and others, which are nowadays available online as well. You will often find that MUET examination papers use articles from these renowned magazines. Reading English newspapers is of paramount importance as well. Subscribe to newspapers like New Straight Times, The Edge as well as the Star. Try to read at least one newspaper completely everyday.

While reading, keep a notepad with you and keep noting down any new words and phrases that you come across. Later look up the dictionary for the meaning of the word.

Improve Your Vocabulary:It is very important to have a good vocabulary. While reading extensively from all sorts of sources, both print and online, consult the dictionary when you do not know the meaning of a particular word. It helps even more if one routinely reads books like 'Word Power Made Easy' by Norman Lewis. This is because, such books are specifically written with the goal of improving vocabulary.

Begin Practicing in Advance: Even if a student has a fairly good command over both spoken and written English, it is extremely important to start preparing well in advance. Do not procrastinate. Give yourself a few months for preparation. For example, if you are taking the examinations in March, start preparing in December and so on. There are a few good quality books, such as Oxford and Longman workbooks, which will help you to prepare for the tests. Take practice tests and try to improve your score every time.

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

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

Ranking: 5 Students

Posted by Chong

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.

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.
