* '''Familiarity with Exam Format''': Knowing the format of the exam reduces anxiety and helps you manage your time effectively during the actual test.
 
* '''Identification of Weaknesses''': Practice exams allow you to pinpoint areas that require further attention, enabling you to focus your studies more effectively.
 
=== Structure of the Lesson ===

Before we dive into the practice exams, it's important to understand the format of the A1 exam. The A1 level is the beginner level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The exam assesses four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. It is divided into two parts: a written exam and an oral exam.
|-


The written exam consists of three sections:
| Saya suka membaca buku. || saɪə ˈsu.kə məmˈba.tʃa ˈbu.ku || I like to read books.


1. Listening comprehension: This section assesses your ability to understand spoken Malay. You will listen to short dialogues and answer multiple-choice questions.
|-
2. Reading comprehension: This section assesses your ability to understand written Malay. You will read short texts and answer multiple-choice questions.
3. Writing: This section assesses your ability to write in Malay. You will be asked to write short sentences or a brief paragraph on a given topic.


The oral exam consists of two parts:
| Dia tinggal di Kuala Lumpur. || di.ə ˈtiŋ.ɡal di ˈkwa.la lʊmˈpʊr || He/She lives in Kuala Lumpur.


1. Interactive communication: This section assesses your ability to communicate effectively in spoken Malay. You will have a conversation with the examiner about a given topic.
|-
2. Monologue: This section assesses your ability to give a short speech or presentation in Malay.


It's important to familiarize yourself with the exam format before taking the test.  
| Mereka suka menonton televisyen. || məˈre.kə ˈsu.kə məˈnɔn.tɔŋ ˈte.le.viz.jən || They like to watch television.


== Exam Strategies ==

In addition to knowing the exam format, there are some strategies you can use to improve your performance on the A1 exam:
| Saya ada kawan baru. || saɪə ˈa.dɑ ˈka.wan ˈba.ru || I have a new friend.


1. Manage your time wisely. Each section of the exam is timed, so make sure you pace yourself accordingly.
|-
2. Read and listen carefully. Pay close attention to the instructions and questions, and make sure you understand what is being asked of you.
3. Don't leave any questions unanswered. You won't be penalized for guessing, so if you're not sure of an answer, take your best guess.
4. Practice your writing and speaking skills. The oral exam can be challenging, so make sure you practice speaking Malay as much as possible.


By following these strategies, you can improve your performance on the A1 exam.  
| Dia akan datang esok. || di.ə ˈa.kən ˈda.tʌŋ e.sɔk || He/She will come tomorrow.
