MUET Results Come Out Today! (20 September '12)

2012-09-20T12:54:00.000+08:00

It's been quite a while since I last posted into this blog. Oh, yes - the MUET results for the JULY 2012 MUET Tests comes out today. Those who are in school - your teacher will fetch the results from the Department of Education and give them to you. Private candidates will get your results sent to you through the post.

Improving Your Results?

If you want to improve your results by re-taking the MUET Tests in the form of the November MUET Papers (MUET again!), you can start applying now. The closing date of the application for the November Papers will be 26th November 2012. Candidates should be quick about it as the period for the registration process is short. Make a quick decision, get ready RM100.00 for the MUET fees and then - register. The procedure for the registration is still the same - buy your PIN number from the BSN (Bank Simpanan Nasional) and then do the registration, as usual - online, through the MPM website.

If you are not satisfied with your results ...

Should you want to have your exam papers to be re-examined (or re-checked) please go to the MPM website. There, you can find the link for that procedure. If we're not mistaken one has to pay RM150.00 if one wants to have his/her papers re-checked or re-marked. Even the listening paper can be re-marked or re-checked if you ask for it.

As for the future candidates we wish you all the best and hope that you will work hard on your English. You should listen more, speak more, read more and write more!

The July MUET Speaking Paper, D-Day!

2012-07-03T22:54:00.000+08:00

I would like to wish all the candidates who are taking the MUET Speaking Paper, July 2012, the very best. The Speaking Test started in the morning, today, Monday, 3rd July 2012. There seemed to be no afternoon sessions.

Do not panic as that will not benefit you at all. Try to relax and keep a clear mind. Apply the Speaking strategies that you have learned.

The test will take quite a number of days. It will be held until next week in the various centres that the MPM has assigned. Take note of the date of your test. Make sure that you do not miss this test as you will miss it (MUET) all if you miss one paper.

The candidates will take the test in groups as the number of candidates is quite big. You will enter the test room in groups of four. You will not be lonely. Furthermore there are two examiners.

Make sure that you are on time. Do not forget to bring along your Identity Card and the MUET Exam slips. You should be properly dressed for the test (Eg. do not come to the Speaking Test looking like a hooligan) Take a complete rest with a good night's sleep before your test.

All the best to you!

MUET Reading (800/3)

2012-02-26T13:13:00.000+08:00

The MUET Reading 800/3 Paper

THIS PAPER Carries the most MUET marks!

As you all know the MUET Reading Paper carries the most marks. It carries 120 out of 300 marks. If you get all the questions correct then automatically you will get band two automatically. Yes, band two from one paper alone, that is the Reading Paper. Whether it is taken in March, July or November.

The Reading (Comprehension) Paper Per Se

The Reading paper is divided into two major parts. Those parts are determined by the genres of the questions. Those major parts are:

1. Texts with Graphics

Usually these texts are followed by 7 (seven) questions. They are information transfer questions from graphic representation to texts. Candidates have to answer those questions based on graphs, charts, or tables which might be combined with linear texts. Those linear texts could be news headlines, announcements, news clips or materials which could be similar in nature to the ones already mentioned above.

The questions (all questions in this paper - in fact) are followed by three multiple choice options. They could be A. True B. False and C. Not stated.

2. Reading Comprehension

This second component is further divided into two parts. They are:

1. Literary Texts

2. Expository Texts

1. The Literary Texts

The texts could be extracted from short stories or novels

2. The Expository Texts

The texts/articles could be sourced from Journals, Newspapers, Magazines,
Academic texts and electronic texts.

There are five (5) reading passages (mind you!) which carries 38 questions. Each passage could be as long as one page to one page and a half (in A4 size paper). As you can see from the sources that the articles are taken the standard of English is understandably high. University standard, that's it. Like it or not, this is MUET! ha, ha, ha ....

The New Reading 800/3 Page

The Reading Page is already set up. It is intended to be a page for many things on Reading. The page can be accessed at this link (yes, click here!)

MUET 800/2 Speaking Test - March 2012

2012-02-19T13:44:00.000+08:00

The MUET Speaking Test (800/2) for the March 2012 session will start tomorrow (Monday) 20 March 2012. We would like to wish all candidates the very best of luck. Please do not panic. Keep your cool. For those who have worked hard for it then you should be well prepared for your day of reckoning. As for those could not prepare due to constraints such as occupational commitments or some other reasonable premises, being panicky and jumping up and down will not help at all. Just be calm and just do it. Come what may. If you can keep your calm then you have ditched half of your troubles.

MUET March 2012 Speaking Test Dates

For your information, the March 2012 MUET Speaking (800/2) Tests will be held on the 20, 21, 22, 23 (February) and further continued on the 27 & 28 February 2012. All together six (6) days. Readers can click here to read for some tips on how to go about doing the speaking test.

Want Some Speaking Guidelines and Pointers?

And, readers can also go here to get more pointers about doing the speaking test. This old posting can give you some more guidelines in the Speaking Tests. This link here (yes, click here!) sort of collate and collect all the postings on Speaking (in this blog). There could be repetitions or overlapping of pointers and guidelines, sorry about that. I hope you would bear with me (Thank you!).

If you need help (about your MUET centres, your exam slips, etc.) then you should contact the nearest Department of Education or the District Department of Education (Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah - PPD)

Lest You Forget

Please do not forget to bring along your examination slips, your ICs, pens and pencils. Please take good care of your cell phones.

If you take along your cell phones to the tests, you will have to surrender your cell phones to the chief examiner for safe keeping until the test is over. They might be the ones who take you cell phones temporarily but in no way they can be held responsible for the safety of your cell phones. Taking cell phones for safekeeping is their job as it is required under the MUET Speaking Test standard procedures. It is a measure to stop candidates from communicating with the outside world (while they do the Speaking Test). The Quarantine is also a standard procedure. Keeping the discipline in the quarantine room procedures is also a standard procedure! Of course - keep the peace. This is serious business.

All the best to you and I wish that you all succeed with flying colours.

MUET Speaking: Group Discussion

2012-01-27T18:42:00.001+08:00

This is a continuation of what has been written in the post that I made on Dec. 5, 2011 at this post (yes, click here). In this installment you can see one more question from the 2009 800/2 Speaking paper.

Before we go on to the questions proper I would like to say a few things about the group discussion - what should be done. Preparation will take two minutes. Some people have the habit of writing an "essay" type of preparation. They tend to write "whole speeches" whereas they will have no time to do that. Having done that in Task A (which you should never do, yes - never!) - writing every word of their presentation, they cannot do that in Task B. In both tasks they have to prepare in point form. This skill needs to be practiced so that it becomes 'part of you' or 'second nature' to you.

As you still remember in preparation for Task A (yes, click here) they should make notes. Please refer to my earlier post at that given link - above.

The questions are as follows:

TASK A__________________________________________

Situation

We should always be patriotic to our country. How can we show our patriotism?

Candidate A:

Task A: What are the ways to show patriotism as an individual? Elaborate.

Please note that what you have to talk about (as Candidate A) are the ways to show patriotism. As Candidate A you have to speak on how to show patriotism where you are - as an individual. That is you are doing in your person situation as an ordinary individual. As candidate B you have to speak on how to show patriotism as required in the question, not as an individual. Please note that. If you miss that key point you might be talking about something else. You might be speaking about being patriotic is not to be individualistic. Then, the score of your marks will be affected.

Please note that you have to elaborate. That means you have to expand or give more supporting details for your points that you put forward in your discussion. In the discussion you should not just only speak out your points. You will have to say more about them such as quoting examples or illustrations, give justifications or reasons and saying it in different words (or paraphrase) so that the listeners will understand it better. If necessary you should give further information on the points and also give definitions or meanings of the words and phrases given.

The other candidates will have the following questions:

Candidate B: What are the ways to show patriotism as a community? Elaborate.

Candidate C: What are the ways to show patriotism at a national level? Elaborate.

Candidate D: What are the ways thato show patriotism at an international level?

Elaborate.

TASK B___________________________________________________________

Situation

We should always be patriotic to our country. How can we show our patriotism?

Task B: Discuss at which level patriotism can be most effectively displayed?

(i) As an individual

(ii) As a community

(iii) At a national level

(vi) At an international level

I hope that everybody is happy with this installment for the speaking test. The question is sourced from the MPM's Mid-2009 MUET Speaking Paper. Try it with your colleagues - in groups of fours.

This post is being added to the Speaking Page. Readers can click on the "Speaking" tab above or you may just click here!

Have a good try. All the best to you!

Speaking (New Page)

2011-12-05T04:53:00.001+08:00

Dear Readers,

I have constructed a new page. A page for Speaking (MUET 800/2 Paper). As you can see on top of this blog there are what we call tabs. Tabs (or buttons) for "Home", "Syllabus", "Glossary" ... and of course "Speaking". If you click on the "Speaking" tab you will be taken to the speaking page. There you can see some Speaking 800/2 questions taken from the real past years' MUET test papers.

From time to time I shall be adding more exam questions for you to browse through and practise with. You may get some ideas as to how the questions look like. You can access the page by clicking the tab above or right HERE.

The following is an extract of the Speaking page and there is more to come. Happy reading!

Extracted From Past Years' Speaking Papers:

Here are some of the past years' MUET Speaking 800/2 examination "question" for your reference. It may be interesting for the readers to see how the questions look like. In case you would like to have a look and see how the situations are worded and what kinds of situations are given. I am using the word "situation" as the Speaking tasks instructions are made based on certain "situations" given.

There are two tasks: Task A and Task B.

Task A is individual presentation and Task B is group discussion.

You will be given two minutes to prepare for task A and two minutes for your presentation.

You will be given two minutes to prepare for task B and two minutes for the group discussion.

Example: (taken from the "End 2009" Speaking paper)

Candidate A

Situation

What do you think affects the reputation of a family? Give your view.

Task A:

You believe the behaviour of family members can affect the reputation of a family. Elaborate.

Cand. B: Income levels of family members

Cand. C: Education levels of family members

Cand. D: Occupation of family members

Task B: Which of the following is the most important factor that can affect the reputation of a family?

Cand. B: Behaviour of family members
Cand. B: Income levels of family members
Cand. C: Education levels of family members
Cand. D: Occupation of family members

(still under construction, in the days to come you may be able to see what is coming!)

All The Best, MUET 19 November - Tomorrow

2011-11-18T23:02:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow is Saturday, D-Day for MUET candidates!

I wish all MUET candidates who are sitting for the tests tomorrow (19 November 2011 - Saturday) all the best! The Reading paper (Reading 800/3) carries the most mark (120/300). If you manage to get all the answers correct then you are guaranteed a band two for your MUET results. Added with the marks from the other three papers you may get band 5 or 6.

Do Not Skip Any Paper!

If you skip any paper, any of the four papers, that means you're doomed. You skip one, you skip it (MUET) all! Bye-bye ... and you have to apply for the next round of MUET Tests and you will be poorer by RM100.00.

Those who could not care less about the exam although they have paid for it then it is such a sorry state of affair. Don't believe me? Yes, there are quite a few who are like that. Year in, year out. Don't be one of them.

Speaking Test October 2011- Beginning Tuesday 11 October 2011

2011-10-11T09:54:00.000+08:00

"All the best!" I wish to all MUET candidates who are doing the MUET Speaking Test on Tuesday (today). I hope you will all be at your very best, your very best as though you are going for an interview.

Please do not panic! Nobody can help you if you panic as you are defeating yourselves by doing so. (Could be half the battle is lost if you panic, or worse still all the battle is lost.)

Task A

For Task A if you are assigned to be 'candidate A' with a given task, to speak for two minutes, on the topic of "The biggest problem faced by young people nowadays is financial problem". If candidate B has the task of speaking about the social problems faced by young people then both candidates (yes, all candidates) have to stick to the tasks assigned to them. They cannot, according to their whims and fancies, change their topics as they like. In task A you have to adhere to the topic/task assigned to you. Otherwise you might end up in trouble.

During the Task A presentations candidates are encouraged to jot down the other candidates' points so that you can use those points in Task B, the group discussion or the "group interaction" as some writers like to call it.

What can you say if the situation is, for example "Your club is giving a talk to young people. Suggest a topic for the talk for this group. Being one of the candidates you have to suggest a topic such as "How to Manage Stress. Why is it suitable?" or "Time management. Elaborate" or "Keep away from crimes. Discuss.

For the How to manage stress situation, would you start by telling "live a healthy lifestyle"? That would not be right as that is more on How to Prevent Stress. (i.e. Before stress strikes you, one of the measures for prevention is by leading a healthy lifestyle). "How to manage stress" wants you to discuss what should you do when and as you are having or experiencing a stress.

Practice is of utmost importance because the test itself itself could be a stressful situation. With enough practice you would have the experience of thinking in this kind of situation where you are under stress. In simulations of the actual speaking test the candidates can experience working or performing under pressure and limitations such as time constraints.

Do not forget the next sentence or phrase that says "Why is it suitable" or "Elaborate" or "Discuss" or "Explain". Failing to do that could be a very terrible mistake and a horrible loss in marks on your part. You would be talking about something that is out of the topic, maybe completely out of topic. In the example above, if you fail to realise this additional instruction - that could lead you to discuss how to manage stress vis-a-vis your task that is you have to justify that the topic itself is suitable for this group of young people.

Task B

In task B you can change your stance on the topic or situation given. That is you can use what the other candidates were saying in their individual presentation added with your own ideas and points. This is when the notes that you have made on all the other candidates' points in task A come in handy.

As usual, you are given two minutes for preparation and then ten minutes for your group discussion. For the discussion, anybody can start first. As usual while doing the discussion nobody should be dominating the discussion. The others have their rights for the time to voice their views and contribute to the discussion.

Thanks for your time. I wish you all the best. Do not panic!!!

Pre-University or University English?

2011-09-18T09:28:00.000+08:00

As you see the MUET is "Malaysian University English Test". The name of this blog is "MUET: The Pre-University English". The name is thus so in order to be more specific and not to confuse the readers. Actually whatever the name is the (high) standard is the same - university English.

Confusion may arise when people start asking what is university English and what is the English before that? Actually the readers or students need not be confused as it is not necessary for them to do that. That is a sheer waste of time. We would like it to be just that - their journey here should be a breeze without the worries and doubts. It is our intention that when readers come here they would just do it and get on with it - get the benefits that they could find in this blog. Got it?

The materials used in text books and MUET question papers are sourced from current newspapers articles, periodicals, journals and others of the same standard. The students are expected to be at par with the standard of English in the MUET. Undoubtedly there are many students who do not reach that mark and they need to work hard to measure themselves up to that "standard".

Selamat Hari Merdeka!

2011-09-16T10:53:00.000+08:00

I would like to wish all readers, especially to us all - Malaysians, on this auspicious day, the Malaysia Day, a "Happy Malaysia Day" and "Selamat Hari Merdeka!". On this day in 1963, Malaysia was born. Since then it has grown from strength to strength. Praise be to Allaah, Praise be to Allaah! (Alhamdulillaah!)

Malaysia gained independence from the British colonials on the 31 August 1957. It was cleverly negotiated from the British by our founding fathers. Merdeka means independence.

The British Colonials have gone but the English language is still very important as it is the international language. MUET initiatives, the university English, is one of our efforts to realise this aspiration. English is important for our nation as "no man is an island". Likewise our sovereign nation cannot exist alone. One of the global business that our nation has to do is we should trade and forge good relationships with other nations.

In the field of education - our students go overseas for further studies and foreign students come to Malaysia, in droves, to study in our colleges and universities. They have to use English as the medium of learning and instruction. Most of the reference materials are still in English. This language is undoubtedly essential in education.

I would like to thank all of our loyal readers that have kept coming back to this blog. I hope it will also grow from strength to strength just like our beloved nation. To all the international readers I would like to say a big "thank you" for giving this blog their support.

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Speaking Test: Candidates, Take Care of Your Cell Phones!

2011-08-19T23:54:00.000+08:00

Candidates should take care of their hand-phones throughout the course of the Speaking test. As the candidates enter the quarantine room one of the first things that they have to do is surrender their hand phones to the supervisor who will then pass them to the examiners. The examiners will return the phones to the candidates when they have finished the Speaking test. There is some sort of "Phones Galore" during the test. The candidates, especially the private candidates, possessed all kinds of cell phones. Among them are the sophisticated and expensive ones such as the touch screens and smart phones.

One day, a MUET Speaking candidate lost his hand-phone. Everybody was surprised. There were no safety precautions as it was deemed unnecessary. The incidence happened in a university's MUET Speaking center. Sorry, I cannot tell you which one. As the MUET procedures went - the candidates were "quarantined" or segregated in a room to prevent communication with outsiders and those who have just finished taking the test. Those people can tell what questions were given and other forms of assistance that are uncalled for.

Back to the story. The surrendered cell phones were brought into the test room and kept by the examiners. They were placed on a desk. When the candidates finished the test they could claim their cell phones and go out. What happened next was - one unscrupulous candidate stole a cell phone and walked out confidently without raising any suspicion. He must have acted so "naturally". Imagine that, that person, arriving with an old "outdated" phone (or, worse still - without a hand phone!) and then came out with a new sophisticated "smart phone". That was a very good catch indeed!

When the owner of that phone came to claim his hand phone it was already gone. It was not on the cell phone's table. They did not have any clue as to who was the thief.

The examiners and the examination syndicate are not responsible for candidates' hand phones. The job of the examiners is to carry out the speaking tests. Taking care of their cell phones is the sole responsibility of the candidates. When the examiners take the cell phones for "temporary custody" that does not mean that they should run a risk just to take care of the phones. Therefore, it is advisable for the candidates to come to the Speaking test without their hand phones.

Mature Treatment of Topic - A MUET Requirement

2011-07-31T00:49:00.001+08:00

One of the requirements in MUET is that candidates have to show "mature treatment of topic" ...

Whether it be Speaking 800/2 or Reading 800/3 or Writing 800/3. This is directly related to your mastery of English - how much vocabulary do you have?

Does your vocabulary match the required standard (University/pre-University command of English)?

So, if your vocabulary is a form two student's standard how can you maneuver your way through the standard of English in MUET (pre-University & University standard)? Well, what we get is a form two student's ideas - as your ideas are limited by the words that you have in your brains. You have big ideas but you do not have the words for it. Can you get it across to people the way that you want it to delivered - in that target language (in "university standard" English)?
This piece of thought is worthy of your attention.

Practice MORE - Listen more, speak more, read more & write more.

The "NEW" MUET Syllabus

Dear readers,

For readers who are still confused as to whether what you are reading is the new MUET syllabus or not, need not worry any more! It is being published in this blog all this time. Readers need not search any further. You can access it at the "NEW" Syllabus page. At the top of the page you will find the tabs to my pages and one of them will take your 'click' to the NEW Syllabus page.

I hope you would find it useful as a guide for you to experience the MUET and take the Tests this year or next year.

Next year will see the MUET being held three times per year. If you do it this year, the fees is still RM60.00 and if you do it next year, you will have to pay RM100.00.

So, fix your MUET timetable. Have a good day and all the best to you!

MUET - Three Times, Beginning 2012!

2011-05-20T11:52:00.003+08:00

Wonderful Readers!

Starting in 2012, MUET Is Three Times A Year!

This announcement is currently shown in the Website of the MPM (Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia), the Examination council that administers the MUET.

"MulaiMUET tahun 2012, ujian MUET akan dijalankan sebanyak tiga kali setahun dan dijangka akan berlangsung pada bulan Mac, Julai, dan November."

That means candidates have more choice in terms of the timing of their test. Three choices - in March, July and November. This could be a nightmare for some teachers as they would be hard-pressed for time to teach the students who want to take the MUET as early as March. Those who aspire to take the MUET that early (time of the year) then they have to make their own preparation to cover the syllabus. Students have the freedom to choose at what time of the year that they want to take the tests.

When the going gets tough, the tough just gets going! All the best to you!
