MUET preparation

Haven't done your MUET? Despite your age ladies and gentleman, anyone can take MUET now. This is based on experience last week. I am a private candidate student. I chose a school near to my place. I had to survey the school first because I never knew where it was till I had to take my MUET examination there.

 When I get there, I was expecting students around my age only to be there. Other than that, I thought it was the teachers or the parents of the candidates. But, gosh they're all candidates too! There are a teacher, and engineer who's taking MUET because without it he can't graduates. Chinese, Malays and Indians all in one room. Which means, you just can't predict who will be in your group. And foremost, you cannot underestimate other people. In other word, you cannot judge especially by how they look. Old people taking MUET may look funny but you must remember they're much wiser in life. They know more on general issues and issues in life.

Well, enough of babbling. As a private candidate, I wasn't really aware of the dates of my examination. The last time I check the 'Mohe' website, it say that I'll be taking my Speaking examination in 2 weeks time! I was freaking out! Damn, I wasn't prepared at all... So what I did was, I went to bookstore and bought a book on MUET papers. However, my schedule was so tight on tests and presentations, I barely had time to open the book or even glance at it.

One day before exam, I finally took a look at the book. Only reading the past year questions on speaking test. Then I did some reading on examples of essays. I did not just read, I read them loudly. With intonations and fluently. Get it? I needed some proofs that I can speak well Insya Allah. That is all I did for a prep and tell ya it's kinda enough for a speaking test.

Other than that, most important is make sure you know the format!!! Urgh, some candidates just walk into the room without even knowing the format, trust me! this is for real! You have to know how long you're given to prepare, how long you have to speak... Then, how many section. Individual and group section... What is the format of the questions... Things like that. Basic ones.

If you want to have a further view on the MUET test, try to Uncle Google the example or watch them on YouTube :)

Most of MUET speaking test questions will only touch on the contemporary issues. The social problems or anything related mostly to youths.

Last but not least, be confident even if you know you're repeating your points. And dress smart to impress the judges.

 YOUTUBE will help! :)
