MUET

Malaysian University English Test (MUET) is a test of English language proficiency, largely for university admissions. The test is administered by the MPM which stands for Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia (Malaysian Examinations Council) which also runs the STPM - Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia examinations.

Most candidates who sit for MUET do so as they aspire for admissions into public universities and colleges. All prospective candidates have to register online, through the MPM Website with a registration fee of RM60.00 and the fees will be increased to RM100.00 in 2012. The MPM will administer the MUET three times a year, beginning in 2012.

Government servants currently in service also have to take the MUET for purposes such as promotions. This will ensure that their command of English will adhere to a certain credible standard.

Components, Scoring and Grading

There are four components in MUET:

Listening (800/1)-(45 marks),

Speaking (800/2)-(45 marks) ;

Reading (800/3)-(120 marks);

Writing (800/4)-(90 marks).

The maximum score for Listening and Speaking respectively is 45, 120 for Reading Comprehension and 90 for Writing. The aggregated score for the four papers is 300. The scores are then graded into 6 bands, with Band 6 the highest and Band 1 the lowest.
