MUET - Malaysian University English Test

Woh...5am...!oh gosh...i slept through the whole night since ystrdy 7pm! Yet,i would be sitting for my MUET exam in few hours time! What a waste if i could use a few hours of the night to do my last revision! $%&^*%@$%$@#&...

I hate myself for being undisciplined,but it is still me...a true zhenye,a person who is always not being disciplined.I also dislike to be pressurized by the time,but that is the thing that i hv to face every time during the exam!Just like today,for the 1st paper i gone through,the Reading paper,i use up too much time for each question and i was really particular and caution to choose the most suitable answer for each ques.At the end,i still had to rush through as i wanted to finish it by time.

Astonished by the length of the summary and the topic of the essay,i got not time to stumble for seconds and even think abt others during the Writing paper.But the summary was really too long-- 9paragraphs and each carried 5-7 sentences averagely.It was being too profound to me as the question requirement was too common and general.I spent twice of the time which i normally used to read and underline the main points.Perhaps i was too nervous and couldn't concentrate well,too much time was wasted to search high and low for the salient points!Oh gosh...i began to tense up...as i wondered whether could i finish the paper in time.

The topic for the essay-- "NS trainees should be trained to use firearms as part of the NS Training Programme.Do u agree?".I was quite shocked when i first saw the question as i only prepared for the social ques,which i am more familiar with and more popular.Sketching and writing non-stop on the draft paper,hoping it would be a useful guide for me to write the essay.After the brainstorming,i was only able to sort out 2points which were patriotism and courages.Hah,with aloz of hesitation and thinking,i wrote and stopped and wasted much time.At the end,i was forced to come up with the third idea which was confidence and forced to write out the 3rd point and the conclusion in about 5-7miniutes,coz i had to copy the summary draft to the exam paper with a little time left.

For the third paper i took today was Listening.I wasn't very sure that i could score for it,but i knew that i done my best for it.Yet,the examiners on the spot distracted my concentration as they took away my both exam slip i brought while i answering my 1st script.I was told that i had to keep 1 for the last exam paper which will be held 1weeks later.Afterwards,i kept telling myself to be calm and focus on the tape script,otherwise i would really have done badly for it.Fortunately,i able to get slip back from the examiner right after the exam.

Today there was a huge crowd of candidates who came from others' schools such as my previous sch SSAJ and SMKJBP.I looked forward to meet her in school compound today as i thought it would be nice if she was able to hv a look of me in sch uniform...hah...wat a wishful thought...

MUET is categorised :
(*the format of papers keep on changing especially for the Listening Paper)
Reading comprehension (50ques-135m)
Writing (A summary-40m + an essay-60m >> to be scaled to 75m )
Speaking (2tasks-45m)
Listening (15ques-45m)

*Starting from next year 2008,there will no longer have cloze text for Reading Paper & summary in Writing Paper...such a nice relief for the students and also the teahers!

The result is graded by using band :
Band 6 - 260-300m >>>Great Command of English
Band 5 - 220-259m
Band 4 - 180-219m
Band 3 - 140-179m
Band 2 - 100-139m
Band 1 - 0-99m

Anyway,I will be sitting for my speaking paper on the 9 of May,hopefully with a week time practice,me and my group can do well during the speaking section! All the best to us! +++ :)
