March 2014 MUET Reading 800/3 answers

Hi all... just re-emphasising again that these are my personal answers, I have no direct connection with MPM and their answers so please use it for your reference only, they are NOT carved in stone! Just appreciate my efforts and please no backchat or annoying speculations. hehe..

Open for debate!

1. C
2. A is my answer cos to calculate percentage it would definitely involve 100% even if the findings show less than that percentage./ B - is the suggested answer from another a reliable source.
3. B
4. C
5. C
6. A
7. B
8. A
9. A
10. C
11. C
12. C
13. A
14. A
15. A
16. B
17. A
18. A (changed after long discussion with a reliable source)
19. A (changed after realising my typo.. I did choose A but don't know why I didnt type it out correctly)
20. C
21. B
22. C
23. A
24. A
25. C
26. C
27. B
28. B
29. C
30. C
31. C
32. D
33. D
34. D
35. C
36. D
37. C
38. B
39. A (changed because of the word 'cautious')
40. B
41. A
42. A
43. B
44. B
45. D (C is also an option but I still think the whole article does not revolve around 'Lessons' even though the last part is a reminder to learn from the Yellow river)

Same? Different? Let the debate begin!

ADDED ON 7/5/2014, AFTER THE RESULTS WERE ANNOUNCED:
In comparison to the results announced by MPM, my suggested answers contain 4 ERRORS. It is very unclear which of the 4 answers are wrong. If even I can make 7 errors, consider how hard the level of MUET reading paper is. The most I can advise you is to do more practices and have faith. Better luck next time!

  2. Thank God...i discussed the 2014 essay with my students......not exactly but similar in many aspects.....the non linear was not bad.....easy because i had given similar samples ..only difference was that the linkage for this paper had two time periods of comparison.....which i think would be quite easy if my students had referred to my Yellow book...on all the collections of non linear over the past years.....need to update this soon........the reading com was challenging though....just going through it...

    2. one question.....i have asked my students to use the process of elimination for the four suggestions in speaking...meaning that the person who starts the discussion will outline this process and start by making a suggestion which seems plausible to everyone....and also compares and contrast the other suggestions...and asks for opinion from the others...once they can agree abt which suggestion is least attractive ...they can eliminate...and go on to discuss the next suggestion....and continue the process until they reach an amicable conclusion..just before the 10minute deadline..but this must be handled in a mature manner....which we need to instil in our students and not treat the discussion as a battleground! What is your opinion?

  3. Audrey ..you are doing a great job.....helping the students out ....there in cyberspace...hope the students are using their latest gadgets and devices in more useful ways rather than wasting time!

    1. lovely that you left a name... i am seriously thinking of disallowing anonymous comments.. haha.. but i am all for freedom of speech so i couldnt do that. i'm actually really surprised MPM recycled the 2010 question.. and I understand that many people did not score high marks because of the 'angle' of the question, meaning they only talk about advantages and do not link to their opinion of this 'development'. anyway, cest la vie!

  4. if they had read the 2010 essay... they might be able to get better marks.....hahahahah

  8. Hi , I think the question 2 Ans is B for it because the question was asked from figure 1 and the title in figure one is immigrants with tertiary education 2009-2010 but not involved all immigrants so I strongly believe the Ans Is B

    1. Hi, I'm a student from Johor~
      I also agree with Ah Bao's answer n reason~
      So, can Madam Audrey please check this again?

    2. I have the same answer with both of you too. Cheer

    3. Think logically... how can they count the percentage of immigrants with tertiary education if they didnt INVOLVE ALL immigrants. the graph shows for example 70 with education but it also tells u 30% of the rest in the country does not have tertiary education. either I am smart enough to figure this out or MPM did not see it this way, or you guys are smarter.. lol.. no worries, the point here is that we debate about the answer and TRY to come to the right one. Anyway, I am not changing my answer. lol

    4. i would agree with Audrey on this.

  18. Good day, audrey wiles. I am 26. I took muet this march again to check english improvement before taking ielts and toefl. I always scored relatively high (97/135, 113/135, 105/135) in past muet exams. I marked reading section answers according to your answers and i scored 36/45 i.e. 96/120. However i got only 85/120 officially. I was quite meticulous in trasferring answers, i would doubt mistakes in answer submission. Am sad and wondering whether i should pay to enquire on answers to know the truth.

    1. Hi.. I have been informed by other blogwalkers that my answers have 7 mistakes, hence I have always emphasised that my answers are not necessarily perfect. I consider myself well versed in MUET but the questions remain tricky and sometimes there are very minute differences between the options that differentiate them. Well if I can make 7 mistakes, I fear to think how many errors other candidates made which lead to them getting a poor result. Anyway, there is nothing that can be done about it except to try again next time!

    2. I get what you mean :) I should then have more wrong answers than i could figure out :( I am not in need of a good score. Just wish to know what other questions i have answered wrongly. I have shared my answers below, perhaps readers can compare with their answers and score to figure out official answer scheme :D
