Pengalaman Speaking Test Muet 2013 : What to Expect..

Assalamualaikum

This is my experience for MUET Speaking Test that I partook in 2013.

Ema daftar sebagai calon persendirian.Jadi,ema nak beritahu  bahawa;

• Ema tak ambil kelas MUET mahupun pergi seminar
• Ema dikelilingi oleh calon persendirian jugak
• This is MUET speaking experience a from private Candidate point of view.

Ema hadir ke MUET speaking test yang bermula pada pukul 11.00 bertarikh 2/7/2013. Sesi ke-2. Alhamdulillah, ema mengalami simptom biasa seperti terbangun tengah malam, rasa berdebar dan lain-lain.

What to Expect in quarantine room;

1. Quarantine bermula pukul 11.00am. According to the time given, after half an hour, baru boleh start.
2. You will be assigned as candidate A, B C or D.
3. People could feel intimidated by other candidates. Brush it off.
4. While in the quarantine room, your handphone will be confiscated.
5. Buat pilihan siapa yang nak start discussion and siapa yang nak buat conclusion dalam task B. Don't wait until inside the exam venue to determine.
6. The candidate either be friendly or be lonely. Untuk rasa selesa, try to know other candidates who will be in the same time session.
7. Waiting for 2 hour isn't long. Ema dapat last group and jugak my name is the last. In addition, there is only 3 person in a group. Terima kasih kepada student with index ****/3570 sebab kerana andalah ema tak jadi candidate D .
8. When the invigilator gives you the chance to go to the toilet. JUST GO.

Go Go Go!!

What to expect Expect inside the Exam venue ;

1. You can bring in your stuff and put them at the provided area for safety.
2. Sit according to your place. Start to read the question as soon as you sit down.
3. Make mental note while they are asking you to read the question.
4. The examiners will ask each candidate if they have inquiries. Starting with A until D.
5. Nak tahu masa 2 minit untuk buat notes sangat singkat. I see the other two candidates jot down their main points and that's it. Try to read other blogs, ask other, read books on how to write simple notes in 2 minutes.
6. Tapi buat simple notes pun macam jeling-jeling jer. Sebab kepala dah kaku nak tengok nota. Lastly, cakap ikut sedap mulut jer. But, that is better. First, you still have the ability to speak.  Second, you can speak comfortably tanpa tengok notes. Try to make eye contact. 
7. Ema rasa untuk task A ema cakap lebih 2 minit. Try to be confident. Bila diorang angguk > they give response > full eye contact > Confident embraces you.
8. My room only had 3 candidates. The disadvantages? it will be less content to discuss and argue on. Walaupun masa sikit, bila suatu ketika akan ada saat dimana anda bercakap dan habis, semuanya senyap. Silence moments.
9. Crack some jokes. Have the courage to say something silly (but make sense). Barulah yang lain pun gembira bersama~Kah3. Apalah Ema nie, but don't make absurd remarks.
10. Masa berlalu dengan sangat cepat dan rasa tak percaya - "berjam-jam prepare akhirnya dah habis jugak!!". Candidates will give them self-rewards. Tengok wayang, bowling, karaoke dan shopping. *Don't forget to wear mask*
11. Someone like me makes a silly mistake - I took the question paper out with me. The examiner makes a polite reminder. "Please Don't take the question with you..".Then, you come to your sense - "She's talking to me".
12. Task B is much better than Task A sebab korang just rileks dan cakap biasa - like a discussion. Don't forget to choose who will do the introduction and conclusion. If your partners look "unwillingly" or "I have no idea" on how to handle the situation, try to help them by guiding them, not overtake them. Help them so the examiners can help you who help them. Get it? Simple.
13. The best option (either A, B, C or D) is confusingly hard to choose on. Nasihat Ema. Let it all OUT. Jangan simpan dalam kepala sebab semua tu yang akan anda hidangkan kepada examiners. Mereka tak kisah pilihan anda as long as you give them something to judge. Be generous 😊.
14. All of this happens soo fast that I could not believe how much efforts I put in, and it just passes like the wind.

Here is my question date 2/7/2013

What is the most(tak ada nie) important donation? 

1. organ donation
2. Cash donation
3. free food to poor
4. Equipment for disabled

I was candidate C, so I had to discuss on "free food to poor". I remembered talking about biscuits...

In the end, we all collectively choose option 3 as the most important donation.

p/s: My MUET test dah expired in 2019 and I never got to use it.

Good luck MUET Candidates for speaking test on 21-30 September 2020!
