My MUET experience...

Phew! Just finished my MUET speaking test yesterday. Overall it wasn't too bad I'd say, but I thought that I could have definitely done better.

One of the most important thing that I've realized is that during Task B(group discussion), please please try to get the opportunity to talk because there WILL be someone who keeps on talking and talking and talking....

Well, my morning began like this. Went there at 7.15, registered name and everything and the first group was picked and started at 8.00a.m. So the rest of us who were not selected had to wait in the quarantine room. Then, it was the 2nd groups turn at around 8.30. I was in group 2 along with my sister's friend. Once we were there, we were given time to look and read the questions and instructions for the following task a and task b. We were also given the opportunity to ask the invigilator about the topic/task given if we are not clear with it.

My topic was ways to cut down spending for family expenditures. I was candidate C and my point for task A is by repairing broken household items oursleves and maintenance. It's quite a crappy point if you ask me.... Others had points such as taking public transportation, recycling unwanted things and spending only on what is needed. Individual task was ok....i guess. I have a couple of moments where I'm stuck...I really hate the repairing point.....its a lousy point...

Moving on to Task B. We all agreed on the point 'spending only on what is needed'. There's this man....40 year old i think....he just kept on talking.... I find it very hard to actually cut in and say my points....damn... But I manage to talk like twice? I hope that is enough?? I really hope so! I want a Band 5 if possible.....if not, then I guess I'll just settle for Band 4... I really really hope I can get Band 5!!!
