Just wanna share some tips. I already taken IELTS last year and praise to HIM, I managed to get more than the average band that I should. So here are some tips. Oh before that, these 3 exams are quite similar in components so I guess this post may benefit the other 2 exams candidates.
So, I will start with Speaking Test. Obviously you need to practise speaking in class and among your friends to avoid nervous and awkwardness. There are 3 parts and each of the part has different style of speaking. For 1st part, kinda ice breaking, you will talk about your life which is something that is naturally from you. For 2nd part, you will be given a cue card and you have to talk about all the points asked by the card. Mostly you will use your experiences to score this part. Failure of answering all points will lead to a penalise of marks. For 3rd part which are the crucial and general knowledge questions, you shouldn't give your experiences in this part because it's general. Answer it based on your view and current issues after confirming what's exactly the questions want.
You should really stay calm and be able to "belasah" this test confidently. Super confidently . You may ask nicely if you couldn't grasp the first time what the examiner is saying. And for IELTS, you may ask properly if you need a bit of further explanation on the questions and if you need a short time to think. Just say, let me think for a while. Then proceed.
Moving on to Writing Test. Writing has 2 parts. 1st part is more to format and techniques. Make sure you already endeavour all the types of diagrams that could be asked. For 2nd part, there is still a format but it is more to creative thinking and style of writing. Time management is very crucial here. Spend only 15 minutes and below for part 1 and 40 minutes and below for part 2 in order to have a 5 minutes checking time. For MUET, there are half an hour extra, lucky you, so you should manage it well.
Let's proceed to Reading Test which is super tricky. As for me I prefer to read the questions first before the articles. But this means practices really play a part. Don't be confused and answer it within the time frame. Quickly but carefully.
Finally, the last part is Listening Test. Be very cautious and meticulous okay. Don't miss any words they say and you may jot down things that may help. For me, I used to read every question first before the audio starts instead of writing back the answer of each segment at the answer sheet. You will have enough time to write at the end. But again this also needs practices to ensure how you can manage the time well.
Practice makes perfect. So do a lot of practices for all components, start speaking English more oftenly and enjoy the exam! Any specific question regarding this may be asked personally to me. To a great band! :D
