Memorisation Technique:First understand then learn all the multipurpose phrases introduced here becausethey work in all situations. 2.Fishing Technique:Read the situation carefully then ask the examiners what it means (even if you are sure you understand because they could give you extra points or vocabulary 3. Parroting Technique:If you really go blank, dont worry. Just say you agree then repeat everything yourfriend just said. Youll still get marks for participation. 4. Bimbo Technique:If you have absolutely nothing to say, repeat this sentence: Im sorry, I dont undersnd your point. Can you please explain it again? 5. Cooperative Technique:If your friend cant remember a word/phrase or has trouble explaining their ideas,you MUST help him/her by suggesting other words/phrases/ideas. You will get points for teamwork.

6. Equal Opportunity Technique:Never control a conversation by wanting to talk all the time and never giving others a chance. Instead, always ask other candidates their opinion. Encourage thequiet ones to speak up and you will get higher marks. 7. Anti-Donkey Technique:Pay attention to the time and when it gets closer to the end of 10 mins, just try and agree with one person (even if you really dont think so in real life! No point being stubborn in the test.) 8. Concluding Technique:Make sure you agree BEFORE going into the exam room who will be doing the conclusion. Pay close attention to the time and steer everyone to making the right conclusion. P/S:Its ok ifall of you CANT AGREE on a single point.you should be able to decide on single point within 10 mins of discussing, but if you dont there is no penalty. y our group doesnt have a conclusion.No penalty but if you manage to do a conclusion you will logically score higher because your discussion is more structured.ALLYOU HAVE TO DO IS DISCUSS ACTIVELY 10 MINS!!!!!FinallyDont panic if you didntdo well in Task 1.You can still pass if you participatactively in Task 2.This isn't enough for you?Check THIS out! and You'll find more that could help you Writing tips 1. Before writing an essay, you must know its basic structure. A MUET referencebook might show you this. 2. Do task 2 first, because it is worth more mark and easier 3. Dont waste too much time on Task 1. Learn all specific writing structure for each type of task 1. In the real test, you just have to apply that structure withnew data and suitable verb tenses. Read sample essays and take note good structure to have a wide range of academic structures for task 1. Some structure mightbe used in task 2 as well. 4. You must complete both tasks. I dont care how difficult the test is, I dont carehow little time you got. You MUST complete your test at any cost. If you dont, youwill be penalized very heavily. 5. Again, practice writing. Do both 2 tasks in one hour. You can focus only on task 1 or task 2, but before the test, you should practice writing both tasks tofamiliar with time limit. 6. Practice makes perfect. In writing, this statement is completely true. But itis better if there is someone to check writing for you and you can learn from your mistakes. 7. Writing requires wide academic vocabulary. You also have to buy a vocabularybook to work on and enrich your vocabulary. . Avoid all informal ways of writing. There are some rules of writing you should follow. For example: no abbreviations, no 1st and 2nd pronoun or possessive (I, you, me, my, your), except in conclusion where you have to state your opinion. 9. Each body paragraph has to include: topic sentence, supporting sentences (2-3sentences), development sentences (evidence: example, experience, data). In many languages (English included), there are many ways to develop a body paragraph,which results that topic sentence

is not the first sentence. But you are advised to put topic sentence at the beginning of each body paragraph. Don't be creative in this case. That is all I can think of. I hope you will be lucky in your exam and what I wrote will help you in one way or another. But REMEMBER, to reach success, you MUSTmake an effort. You should have a clear motivation and a strong will to overcome difficulties. When I did practice tests, I was exhausted. But no success comeseasily. Practice is the only way to gain success. Dont just wait for lucky break,it will never come if you dont know how to grab it. And the final point I want to mention is: Relax before the test! Attempting to do one or two practice test before the real test wont help you increase your score. In return, it will make you feel stressed and unconfident. Top of Form
