Easy to miss: 'Kanan' means right, not left. 'Kira-kira' (about) must be kept as an approximation.

Model answer

It started about three days ago, in the right eye first. This morning my eyes were stuck together with yellow discharge, and they've been itchy all day.

Malay practice topics and interpretation examples

Language rules for Malay CCL

The Malay entry refers to General Policies A and B. NAATI treats Indonesian and Malay as separate languages, with identifiable differences in vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation despite their shared features.

Candidates who nominate Malay must use recognisably Malay forms where such differences exist. Excessive usage from the other language may cause examiners to fail the candidate.

Source: NAATI Language Policy for Credentialed Community Language (CCL) Tests, Language-specific information and general policies, as applicable. Checked .

Details to check: dates, numbers and respectful address

These examples show specific mistakes to avoid in our practice material. They are not a ranking of candidate errors or extra NAATI rules. Keep the timing, amounts and social meaning of the original, including polite requests and forms of address.

Dates and times: separate visiting hours from the arrival deadline

Example · Pre-Operative Consultation Before Knee Surgery · segment 9

Visiting hours start at 2pm on the ward. Please arrive tomorrow by 7am, and sign the consent form before admission.

Model answer

Waktu melawat di wad bermula pada pukul 2 petang. Sila datang esok sebelum pukul 7 pagi, dan tandatangani borang persetujuan sebelum kemasukan ke hospital.

Easy to miss: 2pm (visiting) and 7am (arrival) are easily swapped, and 'by 7am' means no later than 7am.

Numbers and amounts: retain the charge and promised completion period

Example · Formal Complaint Against an Electrician · segment 2

Saya upah seorang juruelektrik untuk mengubah suai pendawaian rumah saya di Newcastle bulan lepas. Dia janji siapkan kerja itu dalam masa tiga hari, tetapi mengenakan bayaran lapan ratus lima puluh dolar dan tidak menyiapkannya.

Model answer

I hired an electrician to redo the wiring in my house in Newcastle last month. He promised to finish the job within three days, but he charged me eight hundred and fifty dollars and didn't finish it.

Easy to miss: The amount: $850, not $815 or $8,500, and keeping 'three days'.

Address and relationships: preserve the reference to the late father

Example · Grief Counselling Follow-up Session · segment 2

Saya masih sukar tidur, Puan. Setiap malam saya teringat arwah ayah saya dan dada saya rasa berat. Saya cuma dapat tidur mungkin tiga atau empat jam sahaja.

Model answer

I'm still having trouble sleeping. Every night I think of my late father and my chest feels heavy. I only manage maybe three or four hours of sleep.

Easy to miss: 'Arwah ayah' means late (deceased) father, and 'cuma... sahaja' means 'only' three or four hours; both are easy to lose.

Hear a real one

From Acute Infective Conjunctivitis at a GP Clinic · Health · the same audio you get when you practise.

GP

Your eyes look quite red and swollen this morning. Can you tell me when the discharge and irritation first began, and which eye started it?

Patient

Ia bermula kira-kira tiga hari lalu, mata kanan dahulu. Pagi ini mata melekat dengan cecair kuning, dan rasa gatal sepanjang hari.

GP

Have you been in close contact with anyone else who has red or itchy eyes recently, at home, work or school?

Patient

Anak saya di tadika ada gejala yang sama minggu lepas. Penglihatan saya tidak terjejas, tetapi kelopak mata melekat sepenuhnya semasa saya bangun pagi tadi.

Questions people ask

Which variety of Malay should I use in the CCL test?

NAATI treats Malay and Indonesian as two languages. Where they differ, examiners expect identifiably Malay usage, and an excessive number of Indonesian usages may lead examiners to fail the candidate.

How often is the Malay CCL test held?

NAATI tests high-demand languages every month and the others at least 4 times a year, and bookings close 1 week before each session. As of 22 Oct 2026, 1:00 pm (Sydney time), NAATI lists 8 upcoming Malay sessions, 8 of them with seats; the next one with seats is Thu 19 Nov 2026. The current list is at naaticcl.com/naati-ccl-test-dates/malay: we check it every 2 hours, and NAATI updates its own list about once a day.

Is the NAATI CCL test available in Malay?

Yes. Malay is one of the languages NAATI tests for the CCL. Passing can support a claim for 5 points towards your skilled migration score. We currently publish 40 Malay practice dialogues.

Do I need a NAATI CCL Malay coaching class?

Not necessarily. naaticcl.com is a self-practice site, not a coaching class: you work through the 40 Malay dialogues and 15 mock tests on your own, at exam speed, and the AI marks each segment for what you kept, left out, changed or added. A class adds a teacher who listens and corrects you; if you want one, see the Malay CCL teachers and classes list on naaticcl.com. The score here is our estimate, not a NAATI result.

How many marks do I need to pass?

63 out of 90, and at least 29 on each of the two dialogues. Marks come off for information you leave out, add, or change, and for language quality. We mark against the same published categories; the score is our own model's estimate, not a NAATI result.

How much does the real Malay CCL test cost?

AUD $814 (NAATI fees for 1 July 2026 – 30 June 2027), and you do not know the result until NAATI finalises it. That is the whole reason this site exists: know where you stand before you pay to sit it.

Can I wear headphones in the test?

No — no headsets, headphones or earphones of any kind. You use the computer's speakers and microphone. Older guides that tell you to wear wired headphones will get you caught out on the day. Only one screen is allowed at any time; your phone or tablet acts as the second camera.

Can I take notes?

Yes, with a pen and loose sheets of paper only. No typing of notes, and no electronic resources — dictionaries, web browsing, live captions or transcription — during the test.

What if I miss something — can I hear a segment again?

Yes. One repeated segment per dialogue is allowed without penalty. Further repeats incur mark deductions.

How long until I get my result, and how long is it valid?

NAATI's candidate instructions say results come by email within 4–6 weeks; they are issued individually as they are finalised, so two people who sat on the same day can hear back on different days. The result is valid for five years from the date of issue (three years if issued before 9 August 2022) and cannot be extended. You can apply to sit again six months before expiry, according to NAATI’s FAQ.

Is CCL still worth 5 migration points in Malay?

Yes. Credentialed Community Language points remain in the 189, 190 and 491 points tests. CCL is not a professional interpreting credential — passing it does not qualify you to work as an interpreter.
