Helllo. So I have a question here (obviously). I dont know whether to take MUET or IELTs because its kinda confusing. Oh, for those who don`t know MUET stands for Malaysian University English Test and IELTs stands for International English Language Testing System. Any person out there to help me or others in this post? Thanks so much.
Hi Hannan, people sit for Malaysian University English Test (MUET) if they want to get into local public universities (IPTA). If they want to futher study overseas, they either take IELTS or TOEFL as both are internationally recognized.

Writing is usually the most challenging component for MUET, IELTS and TOEFL, so I would suggest everyone to read some sample good model essays.

Thanks Ong. But I have another question. What if I wanna take IELTs but I don`t get any place in UK universities, do I have to take MUET? Does IELTS recognize in Malaysia universities?
No, IPTA does not recognize IELTS. If you want to further study in IPTA then you have to take MUET, and you need to get minimum Band 3 to satisfy the minimum English requirement.
