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 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 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.
