Of course, it's a passport for you to gain access to local university.

It is an exam, Malaysian University English Test.

it is just like IELTS and TOEFL.....who studies for them?
*
IELTS for those who want to pursue their degrees in UK or Australia while TOEFL is for those who want to get a degreee in US.

SPM's coming out tomorrow...good luck to all 2005 SPM candidates, wish u guys get good results..

I thought for STPM(Science), it's PA, 2 Maths, Chem, plus Bio OR Chem? Altogether 5 sub... that's what a batch of my friends did- be warned tho...STPM maths is NOT easy- my friend is complaining bout it and to think he's a maths pro... just be prepared...

2 Chemistry subjects?

Not neccesarily, IELTS alone can get you to almost anywhere. Unless you are applying to an american university which specifically asks for TOEFL, IELTS is acceptable. Similarly, TOEFL is also accepted everywhere. The bad thing about TOEFL is that you need to pay ETS if you want additional score reports and TOEFL is not as universal as IELTS, as it only tests one on american english. IELTS has a mixture of everything.

Yes, IELTS is a recognizable worldwide and more popular than TOEFL. My friend took IELTS before and he told me that it's not an easy paper.

true, not easy if one is not a frequent english speaker.

A typical college student would easily score some where between 6.5-8.5

Well, for Malaysian student, it may be a great as English is not our first language and mother tongue. Those scores are very typical and most universities require a score within the range of 5.5 to 6.5 for admission.

Even tough you can get a A1 or 1A in SPM, that doesn't guarantee a "1" for your GCE-O 1119.

yeah- that's what I said...1119 is the main thing here, forget SPM English- it's lousy enough... score 1119 means u'll *mostly* score SPM English, but not vice versa...

SPM calons- focus when u write ur compo n summary- they account for 1119...do ur best there!!

O...i got 1A for both 1119 and SPM English...

for me, the best way is to forget essay references and start reading Reader's Digest...right now...lolz
*
Very seldom English teachers will ask their student to aim or score in the GCE-O level.

Congratulation to you since you get an one in GCE-O.

Well, few of my frens got rejected to singapore becoz of english grades not good...and they look for 1119... so they have to either retake or do another test as mentioned b4...troublesome isn't it?

so strive when u got the chance- try ur best to score in 1119 lo...lolz

Worst come to the worst, sit for IELTS as I did observe that not many could really score 1 in GCE-O. tongue.gif

well, if someone is going for STPM then not to worry, since MUET will be there for you...lolz

MUET is only applicable in Malaysian sense. If you're going to overseas after your STPM, it may not help much. It may be a foolish idea to go to overseas after STPM.

why crimsonhead said got A1 for english and B3 for 1119?

*
Same subject and paper but two evaluation schemes. One from MOE and the other from GCE. That means your SPM certificate will show two grades for English 1119.

Dr@gon, you shouldn't post in this thread. There's a dedicated thread discussing all doubts in online IPTA application.
