Still confused in MUET admissions for entering local university..

[fisrii]

i have taken already for my MUET in MID-Year 2009 but i did not achieved any band..i got "X" at my slip result and what suppose it means?Previously..i had not been seated for MUET exam in part of "Speaking" and yet i'll rather confused..is it that i have failed..?But now in process i have to take back for my MUET and will be seated on this October for speaking.Now, i'm just self-study for preparation taking MUET exam that will be running on October..started with "Speaking" papers.So my question is, what a minimum band should i obtain that qualify a person to enroll at local university?i have intended to continue my study at local university next year..i hope.Because i had reads so many times admission on local university, it says the student should has a muet at least band 1.Now, i'm just waiting for my diploma convocation but has been postponed for H1N1 disease.I am taking diploma in engineering..and many of my friends and colleague were talked that for engineering courses, the person should obtained at least band 3 because a lot of references in university mostly in english..i'm not deny about it.so..plzz help me!

The minimum band for university entrance(as far as I know) is band 2. Depending on the course you want to take. Critical courses like med require a band 4 min.I think engineering is a band 3(unless they changed it). My advice is to achieve at least a band 3 to not take any chances. Strive for better if you can. You have to attend all the MUET exams parts(speaking, reading, writing and listening). The fact you got an 'X', I think it meant that you failed due to your absence from your 'speaking'.
