I just finished my diploma course and now will be enrolling to a local uni. i didnt know where i can get my application submitted coz the only place that i know is quite far from my place. I dont think theres any jpn or ppd in puchong. any suggestions? and if i post my application, will it be okay?

you mean you want to apply for muet? or what?

ts wanna apply for muet? dont quite get it.

No MUET no entry to Govt Unis. He wants to settle the MUET thing I guess before applying for uni...

oh, i see. yeah, you're right. you have to pass your MUET first to get into Govt U, pal. gotta work hard on that.

need to finish MUET only can enter gov unis ar? i tot u can do it before you grad. thats with my uni... well, its a private malaysian uni. i tot this applies for all.

btw, just go to a school offering form 6 and ask lo. see whether can you be a candidate at that particular school or not.

If your going to a local uni, MUET is compulsory. One thing good about MUET that it is not rocket science.

yeah... MUET was pretty easy when i sat for it. it'll just be like a breeze. i think most ppl can easily get band 4 or 5

cheers

if 4 science stream minimum band 4
art stream minimum band 3

hmm?? you mean science stream for stpm or what?? if uni level, law course also require at least band 4 for muet.

MUET ONLY 4 IPTA,UNITEN,MMU,UTP

Hard to say.. some ppl will feel hard.. maybe after result u feel easy =)

dude, its so easy
everyone averages band 5

some will get 6

I know you can register at Jalan Semarak, but that's somewhere in KL. If you're somewhere in Puchong, why not try Putrajaya? Takkan there's no JPN there. Or if there aren't any there, the Kementerian can probably help you locate the nearest place where you can enter/register.

Or, maybe you can contact any universities near you. And register for MUET under them. The result will be mailed to you anyways, so there won't be much problem of having to go and pick up the result etc.

And if I'm not mistaken, you can register for IPTA even if you haven't sat for MUET. You'll have to sign some pengisytiharan or something saying you'll sit for MUET during your studies. If you do this, then you can register for MUET under your current IPTA. Lagi senang.

u can be a private candidate...some of the colleges or learning centre offer it...i think maybe u call KPT and ask is there any places near u for MUEt exams????

you can even take it yourself,and sit for muet as private candidate,what you need to do is just apply and pay.

TS, dun waste anymore time. well, i do know they have a time-frame. but not sure when it starts and stops accepting applications. every district have their own PPD one. if not, since u staying in puchong... go ask schools nearby. mmu in cyberjaya and puchong kinda near also ma.

nola. i just finish my course. now wanna apply to local uni (IMU). they need muet eventhough i have ielts. according to them its a copulsory. now i wanna know if i can send my application through post? coz i dont think i have any jpn that is close to my area.

u dont have to study for muet.
just go and crap a lot during oral, write proper essay and listen carefully.
And band 4 is in ur hands. At least.

IMO, ielts standard is wayyyyyyyy better than MUET.
Any d*** and jane can get band 4 and above for MUET.

Well MUET stands for Malaysian University English Test. Whether compulsory or not (GOV uni is Comp) . It is a simple measure of your standard to enter the local university with good English background. If you can get this done, well at least you have proof that you can speak and understand English well enough.

IMU is a private uni, and i tot that u can still enter IMU but just make sure you get MUET b4 grad. unless u dun wanna grad. hmm... or maybe mmu is jz diff

Some private uni required higher muet band. If you are taking your STPM cert to apply for Singapore uni, they require your MUET result as well.

Actually you CAN enter university WITHOUT MUET if my counsellor is right. But the certificate after your end year in University will be kept if you don't seat for MUET.

SO do it quickly right..

Indeed. My friend from UTM said so.

One question , for MUET private candidates , how do you all do the group speaking test?

This post has been edited by Massa: Jan 10 2009, 01:33 PM

If I remember correctly, you join in with the school student. See which school they will send you in to speak with the other candidates. That happens in my school lah.

anybody noe when is the results coming out for the year-end 2008 test?

usually around march/april

Yeah, 4 student sitting in a group. There will be a paper stating what topic/situation we will be talking about. I only got Band 5 as my speaking is terrible. If I get 10 or more mark, I'm already band 6. I think I score almost perfect on comprehension. Thats the part you should be concentrating on. I did the whole book in Longman MUET book. I only did it because I'm too lazy to do anything else

no so late la.... tis week or next week... My teacher said so.

When MUET result will released ??

you mean for april or november muet?

It's quite ridiculous for the results to be released next month or later. I asked the previous question coz of come contradictions I was given.

MPM webbie says that mid-year registration will be open on 12th Jan and closed on 29th Jan. My teacher told me that the results for 2008 year-end will be out in February.

Now I wouldn't be able to decide whether I want to register for the mid-year MUET coz I dunno the result of my previous test and therefore cannot decide whether I want to improve on the result or not.

Any date later than 29th Jan would be ridiculous for the result to reach us.

Anybody wit an insider's info on it?

That means MUET result should come out by 12 Jan .

I found it is ridiculous too

and 12th is tomorrow and 29th is during the CNY break. Meaning the decision has to be taken before the CNY break, which is this week and next week. Based on the 'intelligence info' in the thread, MPM is doin a bad job in this MUET business.

muet registration date is near for june exam

when the november MUET results gonna come out? i think i crap the paper.. the essay part esp. what u guys wrote for the essay??

anyone can register to sit for muet.......

it is mandated by the min. of higher education that all courses in msia, both ipta and ipts needs muet to complete......you don't need to have it to enter, but you need to have a muet score to graduate.......and for some uni, as along as you sit for it, even if you got a score of band 1, you can graduate.....

some unis and courses do have minimum muet requirements, but since it is NOT compulsory to process one at entry, they will accept other evidence of english proficiency like 1119 or even spm........

most foreign unis will insist on a more consistent and internationally accepted test like ielts........\

it is relatively easy to get the middle scores, band 3-5 is a very big band.......and it is relatively difficult to get band 6.........there are many instances of students who have achieved ielts 8.5 or 9.0 (native speaker level) getting band 5.....the reason is the marking is somewhat rigid and fixed (just like the usual msian exams like moral in spm)......you can be marked wrong if you give an answer not in the 'right answer list'.......even if you are right.......

The essay is quite difficult...

I mean the topic seems to be easy, but I am not sure what to write. "People are materialistic nowadays...."

This post has been edited by moon yuen: Jan 11 2009, 08:05 PM

LOL based on what limeuu said I took a huge risk by writing like I'm in a conversation. I hoped they only concentrated on the english proficiency side and not the overly creative ideas...

MUET results out on this Thursday !

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...0143&sec=nation

normally how they decide the band?
according to level of english?

does MUET really useful?

eh........how else do you suggest they grade you?....by how you look?

read the whole thread please, before asking questions........

If you talking about speaking test it about:-

1. Confidence
2. No stuttering
3. Good vocabulary
4. Respectful to other member
5. Ability on jargon usage.

No 5 is important. My MUET teacher who is an examiner said using jargon and explain their meaning (greenhouse effect, coronary heart disease) show how mature your English have progress.

Even in Essay, try maximize using good word to summarize etc.

MUET not so tough. The only tough one is Speaking as everyone is nervous when sitting together on the room before you take the exam. (what that room called eh?)

anyone know which university still sell their muet forms?
mmu finish already yesterday T_T
i urgently need it!!!

deleted.....duplicate post......sucky broadband....

This post has been edited by limeuu: Jan 13 2009, 05:10 PM

it is out d..can use sms to check, type MUET <ur ic no> send to 39003.
or
go to their website to check..but it is available after 8.30am

To get course like engineering or medic in local university , is band 4 MUET enough?

From what my teacher told me is band 4 is not enough to get engineering or medic in local university , to enter this courses need at least band 5 in MUET.

wish all the MUET students. good luck

i got band 5.. is it ok for medicine? nobody i know got band 6.. weird

Band 5/6 is accepted to medicine. DOn't worry, they don't compare either you Band 5 or Band 6. If you pass the minimum Band 5 its OK!

what about band 4 ... =.=

How about band 4 to enter engineering course in IPTA?

its sufficient

Yep! Except if you entering MedicinePharmacy/Dentist and maybe Law.

Other, Band 4 is really good!!

band 3? enough to continue my degree in computer science?
T.T

Yeah other normal course only take Band 3 but it is the passing line for all student.

but yes, you don't have to worry if got Band 3.

The speaking test.. try not to use so much of slangs like urrmm.. ah.. lah.. errr. Once my friend did that and i could see the smirk in the examiner's face.

I think once you got the min band d, can enter. As i can recall, you can resit the exam for effing number of times you like throughout your 3 or 4 years in uni

yup.. sufficient 2..

getting band 3/4/5 is nt that hard.. but band 6 is.. haha.. until now only know 2~3 band 6 plp..
but no ned to strike for that high seriously if u don go for law/doctor.. band 5 is good enuf ad..

haha..worried bcoz i want further my study soon

in local uni also able to take MUET la.. they can provide u the MUET test..

Can i know that if i take a second muet test this year , can i choose which muet result (last year and this year) i want to take as my true result ?

1 tip for you... google for phone numbers and you're just 1 call away from your confirmed answer. haha... jz call up JPN or JPS or whatever Ministry of Education related agency. hahahaha...

Can... u juz decide wan to submit which MUET cert la

oh crapz... i forgot. not uni exam hor. haha... yah, the cert enter ur hands, its up to u on which 1 u wanna submit. good job louis6... haha

Thanks for help! btw, is the result slip given by mpm = the muet cert ? It does not look like a cert though ...

ermm... for me, i just keep the simple results slip only. its sufficient d. got cert ar? i also cant really remember. few years since my muet d.

o but i thought you need to show your cert when applying scholarship or U ...

yeah. thats the thing... jz show which result is the best. but actually they really look at ur MUET cert. they look more to ur other academic results. MUET is just an unnecessary requirement that requires that u pass ur muet b4 graduation. really... its not important. u can ask many, and others will tell u the same.

it's not important??? i'm thinking to take MUET, at least something to clarify my english command although i'm already in degree since UTAR has just become a MUET examination center.

for the nov 2008 muet, nobody in my coll got band 6 altho about 3 of those who got band 5 (around 10ppl) were only less than 10 marks towards getting band 6 ( me included ) . besides, thr was a format change ,requiring us to write a statistical report, and im really bad at writing formatted essays .

And I did not speak much during the speaking test (spoke full 2 mins for Part A, but only 1.5 mins out of 10 mins allocated for part B, group discussion) hence only got 31 marks for speaking.

overall, its quite an ok result, and im satisfied, considering that many people got band 4 and 3.

Added on January 18, 2009, 1:25 pmbtw, UM medic requires band 5? or is that just a rumour? coz im sure there band 4 is the minimum right?


This post has been edited by arsenwagon: Jan 18 2009, 01:25 PM

like said many times by various people, muet is needed to graduate from msian unis, but not necessary for admission......whether any unis puts mandatory muet band requirements for admission selection i am not aware, but i know ipta admits all, and provides remedial classes........

really? tat means with band 1 i can get into law course? hmm... sorry but i beg to differ. i mean the uni would rather take in a band 6 or 5 student than let a band 1 student in and waste a place right (wat if in the end he doesnt achieve band 5 at least , as required for law)?

and btw, unis do have muet requirements b4 admission. like for example UM 's general requirement is band 3( i guess). But for some critical courses, on the UPU website, its stated they require band 4. what i would like to know is would students with band 5 get selected over band 4 students?

coz from what ive heard, muet is something which you only need to pass the minimum requirement for the course. in other words, according to some, whether one gets band 4, band 5 or band 6 doesnt matter.any UM med student here to clarify ( of coz dont count bumis in) ?

This post has been edited by arsenwagon: Jan 18 2009, 05:40 PM

what exactly is MUET test, i mean what exactly we do , and in scales band 1-6 which one is count as good band achievement..

of coz band 6 la
for a band 1 u could juz turn up during the written exams and leave ur answer sheets blank, and say nothing during the speaking test.

pay so much adi.. i dont think anyone will do that. btw, did anyone get band 6?

from what i know laa, muet needed for us to get bachelor degree cert, without muet we cant get it...and my question is, what is the minimum requirenment to get that cert? band 1?2?3?4?5?6?

some uni/courses........you just need to show you have sat for it.......band 1 also okay, can graduate........

i kid you not.......

For MMU you can take during degree before you graduate must complete it. Masters you definitely must have MUET minimum band 4.

This post has been edited by Sherry86: Jan 21 2009, 08:45 PM

its not important i'd say. just a requirement for you in-order to graduate from a malaysian uni.

the answer is... clarify with your program coordinator. this is because, certain courses require a certain band in-order to fulfill their requirements. for some, their course only requires a band 3, some band 4, and mostly definitely all accept band 5. band 6 ar, its kinda tough to get, so... u know la, dun think any course needs band 6 as a min requirement.

Actually, my sister is studying in UM medicine.... Therefore, I can clear your doubt.

Her course a lot people, MUET band 4 only la !!

Other races, band 3 is quite common ! Some even Band 2 ! Yup, in UM medicine course.

NO such thing that u need Band 5 to enter into UM medical course

This post has been edited by moon yuen: Jan 22 2009, 05:21 AM

like i said, nobody, not even the ipta, takes muet seriously......

actually, a significant portion of msian society would quite willingly dispense with english completely.........it's after all, something 'asing'........

????
Are u sure? But I think Band 4 the minimum requirement to get the certificate. My bet is her other Band 3 friend going to repeat MUET at the end of the course. You're sister is sure lucky to be in UM Medical Faculty. I can't even get to UM!

nah... no doubts to be cleared. i didnt mention that only band 3 4 or 5 can enter in UM medical course. coz i dun even know the requirements for it. thats why i said diff course has a diff requirement. better enquire with the ppl in-charge of it. but i did say that band 5 is like... definitely fulfilled requirements for all courses tht i know of. unless they require band 6

100% confirm !!

Actually, I don't consider my sister lucky la !! She is TOP student with CGPA 4.00 in STPM , MUET Band 5.
She told me lots of her Chinese friends are Band 4.
Quite a number of non-Chinese got Band 3. A few got Band 2.
She knows that because a lecturer want each person to stand up & tell their MUET results.

I specifically mention that "U did not need MUET Band 4 or above to gain admission into UM Medicine Course"
I don't know what Band u need to graduate medicine course?
Graduate & admission are two different things ~


Unlike me, take MUET , got Band 4 only, write essay also OUT OF TOPIC for Dec'08 sitting

is there any uni that doesn't need muet for admission??

This post has been edited by akkihiko: Jan 24 2009, 10:37 PM

i do think so dude..

btw, what course require high grade in MUET?

Public uni only needed you to have band 1 to enter into the university. Some need band 2. But in private uni, some need band 3 or more.

I scored Band 5(I took it twice,still Band 5 at the second time)And I was so surprised that many people I met in uni scored Band 3 and have to take the pre English courses here duh

Public university only requiring you to take at least 1 test of MUET, so what is the band you get they don't wanna know it. At tertiary school there are still some courses a bit likely MUET. Unless you are top student who wish to get band 6 in order to match your 4.0 pointer.

I thought different course has different minimum requirement of MUET, especially professional courses.

Sorry for dint explain it properly. Several courses do need you pass your MUET with any band(the minimum requirement), except those high level courses.(I forgot what courses do need to such high requirement) So the band 6 really important for entering U? I'm emphasize on moderation, my MUET result is band 4 only

that i suppose, is an example of how low the standard of muet exam is........

Exactly. Band 3 in MUET can be considered quite poor, especially when MUET is not that difficult. No offence but this is the truth. Averagely, students scored Band 4 and it is quite common. As a Band 5 scorer, I don't feel proud because the paper wasn't difficult at all, at least for my batch (2004).

I'm not sure about public universities as I heard before one can enter with only Band 1? Don't you think that is a super very minimum requirement? How to cope in university subjects with just a mere Band 1?

As i said, you only need to take MUET test once as 1 of the requirement to enter U. You only need retake it after entering U if ur band is lower than 3. I don't know what kind of test already but i heard people said those candidate required to have public speaking.
Honestly the marks set in MUET test are unaffair. I still remember last time my score is 180( minimum marks for band 4). Some of my friends get less 1 mark 179, so she get band 3. She felt unsatisfied with the result so she went retake again, wasting 60 bucks(don't know the accurate price jor).

mayb govern is being kind to certain ppl... i do heard frm my fren said tat , frm govern official site, band 1 is the minimum requirement.

there is a schizophrenic treatment of english by the msian education authorities........

on one hand, they want to improve the language abilities of ipta students........the poor levels of english and the unemployability of some of these graduates are legendary.......

on the other hand, they view english with suspicion, that it will sideline bm.......and certainly makes no effort to enforce minimal english requirements lest it disadvantages a certain section of msian student population........

so they make an exam called muet, supposedly modeled after ielts.......making it compulsory to take in order to graduate.......and accepts band 1 as adequate.......

go figure.......

Agree. They do it, but worry n then simply come out a faulty policies... M'sia Boleh!!

Not Band 1 la, I think they require at least Band 2 to graduate, & in some other case, Band 3 and even Band 4
