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. You can also purchase the MSAT–Malaysia Sample Questions 2, from ACER directly.

You will receive a score for each of the 3 sections, together with an overall MSAT–Malaysia score. The Overall Score is a weighted average of the 3 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 2025 results remain valid and can be used for application for 1 year.

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.

Any complaints relating to test sittings should be reported immediately to your proctor at the time of your test session, and in writing to the MSAT–Malaysia Office immediately after your test session so that the issues can be resolved within the testing window.

Please note: It is not possible to schedule tests outside of the allocated test window. All technical and or delivery issues arising during remote testing must be addressed immediately and resolved during the allocated test window.

Test takers are advised that 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.
