Scoring Band 6 in MUET on your first try is not that hard. Here are some tips on how to do
exactly that.
Listening test
This is one of the tests in MUET which you could possibly get a perfect score. You should
get a perfect score here, it is important for you to get a Band 6 because you will lose points
in other tests.
Listening does not really indicate your level of English, especially if the speaker is English!
So if you do lose points here, don't worry. Just try not to lose too many points here, practise
many times with your MUET teachers before the actual test, try to listen to as many tapes
as you can get your hands on. During the test, please look to your friends for help if you
could not catch the questions or remember the correct answers. I am not encouraging you
to be dishonest, but you could always pay attention to your friends gestures, read their lips,
spot the blink of an eye, the touch of an ear, etc. Having a system before the actual tests
does help.
Speaking test
If you can speak English naturally, please do all you can to convince the examiners that you
have a good command of English during you individual presentation. Otherwise, use short
sentences, put forward your main ideas in simple grammatically correct sentences. Do not
just harp on a single point, try a few points, the positive side and negative side of an issue,
etc. to show that you are not a narrowminded student.
In the group discussion, you would be able to get a good score if you could lead the
discussion. Be warned though, do not overdo it. Give others the opportunities to speak too.
You should be polite, try to keep the flow of the discussion and help out should any of the
fellow students got stuck in midsentence or is stammering. Remember, lead the discussion,
keep its flow ("What do you think about this issue?") but do not be extravagant! Like it or
not, this test is subjective and you will most probably not get a perfect score here.
Reading test
There are not many tips to share in this test, it is similar to Form 5 SPM English exam, just
do your best. There are some tricky questions with similar answers. If you are lucky, you
could get a perfect score here but usually the better students would be able to get near
perfect scores, making a few mistakes here and there.
Writing test
Seriously, I have always told people that the writing test in MUET is even easier than SPM
GCE 'O' Level. In this test, it is important to keep to the rules, follow the recommend length
of essays and finish them in allocated time.
Even if you are a good English user, do not attempt to write beyond the recommended
length. Concentrate instead on presenting your main ideas, this test papers are marked by
Malaysian teachers, so don't bother having too many idioms, figurative meanings, etc.
For students who are not too comfortable with English, this may be one of the tests which
you would tend to lose many points. To avoid that, keep your sentences short, check your
grammars, try to compensate for your lack of flowery language with good ideas, mature
arguments and logical explanations.
To be honest, it is not so easy to score a Band 6 in MUET after all. It is not the perfect test,
but it is indicative of one's command of English, mainly because it includes listening and
speaking tests. Good luck scoring a Band 6 in MUET on your first try, do let me know if my
tips are useful.

as Listening is no longer multiple choice but is structure form so it may be a bit easy to
lose out some marks compare to last time not difficult to score 15/15.
They also lower the marks for reading (which many candidates score in this part) and
increases the marks for witting test which ensure only those are good get higher mark.

I did my MUET back in the 2006 for the midyear paper. I'd say, it wasn't easy. We had 10
Band 6 scorers in my school. Hahaha.
UPSR (6)
The most important thing about scoring Band 6 is practice. As a saying goes, Practice
makes Perfect. If you use the language in your everyday life, it shouldn't be any problem
for you to score Band 6. However, you have to be very careful especially in your writing
and speaking exams.

In writing, in my honest opinion, as long as you read newspapers or follow the current
issues, you will be able to answer them perfectly, set aside the objectivity and technical
writing. Do not compare the writing paper with your Form 5 SPM English essay, I'd say, it's
very very different. It is in fact, more academically inclined and technical writing. Most
students are not able to comprehend to this style of writing. Therefore, they lose marks
in this criteria.
As for speaking, always make time for practice in your group. Show your cohesiveness in
your group discussion as well as your task A. Ok, for Task A, when you are preparing for
that, write out all your points and choose some, I'd say about 3 points for Task A. Leave
others for Task B. When you have 3 minutes, use them wisely. Talk in a moderate speed,
don't rush through your ideas. Arrange your points and elaboration nicely, put them in a
nice flow of ideas. Same goes with Task B.
