MUET Test at IAB , Genting Highlands

I with the three of my classmate who had taken a Malaysian University English Test(MUET) at Institut Aminuddin Baki, Genting Highlands at 22 Oct 2009 for speaking test and 7 Nov 2009 for a writing, reading and listening. We have a end year examination starting 6 Nov 2009 until 16 Nov 2009, however the MUET is very important to me and my friend because we must get at least band 3 for qualifiying graduate in our first degree in Education Management. Good luck for my friend who taken a MUET that is Hariri, Sanoyah, Siti Raihayani dan me. We hope will be in one group for a speaking section.

In the speaking section of MUET, we are required to perform two tasks , that is a individual presentation dan group discussion. We all in group is assigned for one option. We have talk about our option in one situation. We have one minute to read a task, two minute to prepare and two minutes to delivery our reason and give a example to reinforce our option. In the group discussion, we have take turns to discuss all four options and choose the best or the most appropriate one as the conclusion.

Tips:

• Task A(Individual) - make use of the one minute given to read and understand the task as required.
• To prepare for this task, look for 2 or 3 points. Then explain logically each point. Give examples.
• Speak for two minutes when your turn comes. Project your voice, make eyes contact, deliver confidently. Conclude within 2 minutes.
• while one candidate is speaking the others should take down notes to be used in the discussion later.
• Task B(group) - make use of the time to read the task carefully and consider all four options.

In your speaking test you will be tested in three areas:

1. Task fulfilment - logical point and ideas that are well-elaborate, well-linked and justified.
2. Language - the use of a variety of sturctures, vocabulary and correct grammar.
3. Communicative ability- ability to manage a discussion, speak fluently and confidently without hesitation or unnecessary pauses.

p/s : To all candidate MUET I would like to wish good luck and please speak and don't be silent.
