What is MUET ?

Malaysian University English Test (MUET) is a test of English language proficiency, largely for university admissions. The test is set and run by the Malaysian Examinations Council (which also runs the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia examination) and largely recognized only in Malaysia and Singapore.

Most candidates who sit for MUET do so to apply for admissions in public universities and colleges. MUET is largely optional, if considered at all, in applying for admissions in other universities and colleges in Malaysia as well as National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University. Most of those who do consider MUET in admission applications allocate little weight to it. Most universities, including many who offer "twinning" courses with local private colleges, outside these two countries do not consider MUET as an acceptable test for English language proficiency, preferring instead, the IELTS.However, in recent times, the MUET has lost its prominence as a requirement to be admitted into local universities, be it public or private ones. Many local universities now require students to only have sat for the MUET in order to graduate, without taking into account the band achieved.

Candidates usually have to register via their institution, private candidates with their State Education Department, with a registration fee which used to be RM 61, but has now gone up to RM 101. Although Malaysian government has decided to abolish government examination fees from 2007 onwards,[1] MUET will remain as a paid test. From year 2012 onwards, MUET will be held three times per year, in March, July and November...
