About the Test
HOW TRINITY GLOBAL EDUCATION PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN YOUR MSAT EXAM PREP & APPLICATION?
The Medical Selection Admissions Test – Malaysia (MSAT - Malaysia) is a 2.5-hour online multiple-choice assessment independently developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) to assist with the selection of students into medicine and health professions degree programmes.
The purpose of MSAT - Malaysia is not to test your knowledge of specific academic subjects, it is to test your skills in the interpretation and understanding of ideas presented in a variety of ways. MSAT - Malaysia questions typically require you to read and think about a passage of writing, to interpret graphical displays of information, to use mathematical relationships, to reason about data and utilise your ability to understand the thoughts, behaviour and/or intentions of people.
The test has a strong focus on general skills and personal abilities that have been identified as important for a competent health professional. The MSAT - Malaysia test is offered once annually in February each year.
Test Structure
The MSAT - Malaysia is a 2.5 hour-long, multiple-choice test. It contains 3 sections they are:
1. Critical Reasoning (CR) – involves comprehending and analysing information; understanding, applying, and
extending ideas; drawing appropriate conclusions, and evaluating arguments. These questions use material from
the humanities and social sciences.
2. Quantitative Reasoning (QR) – involves analysis and application of information, drawing conclusions, making
decisions, and solving problems. These questions use material from the mathematics and sciences.
3. Interpersonal Understanding (IU) – involves the ability to understand and think about people. These questions
are based on a scenario, dialogue or other text representing specific interpersonal situations. Using a multiplechoice format, they assess your ability to identify, understand, and, where necessary, infer the thoughts, feelings,
behaviour and/or intentions of the people represented in the interpersonal situations.
Test timing
| Section | No. of questions | Time |
| Critical Reasoning | 33 | 50 min |
| Quantitative Reasoning | 33 | 50 min |
| Interpersonal Understanding | 33 | 50 min |
| Total | 99 | 150 min |

Preparing for MSAT -Malaysia
The purpose of MSAT - Malaysia is to assess your abilities in a range of cross-curricular skills.
MSAT - Malaysia measures skills acquired over a period of time, including the ability to reason, make logical deductions and form judgements.
The test does not draw on any subject knowledge. There would therefore be little benefit to be gained by ‘cramming’ or coaching. Your best preparation will be to read widely and to think critically about what you read. However, some familiarity with the question types typically presented in MSAT - Malaysia is an advantage.
For this reason, you will receive a sample questions booklet with your registration.
Test taking strategy
Questions in the MSAT - Malaysia are in multiple choice format. There is no right or wrong way to work through the test, it is best for you to develop your own strategies that suit your way of working in order to complete the test in the allocated time.
Each test section is separately timed. It is recommended that you work steadily through the test. It is not advisable to spend too much time on any one question. Read through all the alternative answers to a question, even if you think the first one is correct, before marking your chosen response. If you think you know the answer to a question, mark your answer by clicking on the radio button corresponding to your chosen answer, even if you are not certain. Go on to the next question and come back later if you have time.
Remember: All questions have the same value, therefore by attempting as many questions as possible you stand the best change of maximising your score. No marks are deducted for the wrong answer.
Preparation Materials
ACER produces the only official MSAT - Malaysia preparation materials. All questions contained in our booklets have been used in past tests, hence they are the best guide for test preparation.
There is currently 1 publications in the form of an e-book (hard copies are not available)

When and how will I receive my results?
MSAT- Malaysia results will be released to applicants in April 2024. You will be notified by email when your results are ready.
You will be sent your Statement of Results (SOR) via email. ACER does not provide hard copies of results. When you access your results, you are advised to save and print a copy of the Statement of Results for your own records.
The MSAT - Malaysia statement of results includes your date of birth and the name used at the time your test was taken.
For security reasons it is not possible to provide replacement result statements to accommodate name changes.
ACER will provide your results to the Universiti Malaya directly for the purpose of electing applicants into their programmes. You are not required to do anything to facilitate this.
Due to privacy requirements ACER will not provide results over the telephone, by fax or by email. This is to protect candidate confidentiality
How will the Universiti Malaya receive my results?
ACER will provide your results to the Universiti of Malaya directly for the purpose of selecting applicants into their programmes. You are not required to do anything to facilitate this.
MSAT – Malaysia scores
You will receive a score for each of the three sections, together with an overall MSAT - Malaysia score. The Overall Score is a weighted average of the three section scores.
Please Note: The Overall Score is calculated to several decimal places and then rounded. The Overall Score is calculated before the rounding of section scores. This makes it impossible for test takers to replicate the process. To assist you in evaluating your test performance your scores will be accompanied by a chart showing an approximate percentile ranking for your Overall Score. This will give you an indication of how you have performed against other test takers in the same MSAT - Malaysia sitting as you.
Currency of Results
Your MSAT - Malaysia 2024 results remain valid and can be used for application for 1 year.
Can I appeal my score?
No, MSAT - Malaysia results are released only after careful calculation and extensive checking, for this reason, remarks for any component of the test are not offered. ACER cannot provide any additional information on scores or the scoring process. All information including score analysis and processing remains the intellectual property of ACER and no right of inspection is deemed to be vested in a Test taker.
How does ACER ensure equity and fairness?
MSAT- Malaysia is developed to rigorous professional and technical standards. Test questions are designed and
developed by a team of ACER writers, expert in their fields. All test questions must pass detailed panelling, trial testing, analysis and final review. The content, style, duration and sequencing of the tests are determined to ensure that the testing programme is relevant, fair, valid and reliable. MSAT - Malaysia test data is subjected to statistical analysis to check that each question has performed as required. Test questions in development are carefully scrutinised in an ongoing attempt to minimise gender, ethnic or religious bias, and to ensure that the test is culturally fair. The test may contain a small number of trial questions which may not contribute to test taker scores but allow us to ensure that new test questions are working to the expected standard.
Appeals and Complaints
If you have a serious complaint or wish to make an appeal in relation to your test sitting or results, please read the ACER complaint and appeals policy.
Should you wish to query a particular test question, please alert the supervisor of your concerns on the day of the test. Your query will be reviewed by the MSAT - Malaysia office and forwarded to the test developers for review.
Similarly, any complaints relating to technical issues, the test venue or physical discomfort suffered should be
reported immediately to the supervisor on the day so the issue can be addressed without delay, and in writing to the MSAT - Malaysia office immediately after your test session so that the issues can be resolved within the testing window if necessary.
Please note: It is not possible to schedule tests outside of allocated test windows. All technical and or delivery issues arising must be addressed immediately and resolved during the advertised test window in February each year. You are advised that MSAT - Malaysia results are released only after careful calculation and extensive checking and errors in scoring are highly unlikely
