The use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in teaching and learning is organized and appropriate to improve the efficiency of the teaching and learning process for MUET especially in a rural area. As we know, the SIM COM2 quizzes are designed to stimulate interest, increase students self- confidence and guide students to produce a good piece of essay with variety of sentences where they can score a high band for language in MUET writing (800/4). This study uses the experimental methods, which are pre-test, brainstorming session, treatment and post- test. This study was conducted on 10 of my school's 6th upper form of Economy/Science students. The construction of SIM COM2 quizzes in Edmodo is carried out within two months. At first, the students could not score high marks in their language due to the traditional method and poor language background in their pre-test. 88% of students scored the range of marks of 11 – 18 (Band 2 – 3). Thus, they lost their interest and had a depleted motivation. Therefore, the SIM COM2 quizzes are used in one of the educational websites named Edmodo to teach writing in the computer lab to the 10 students and is built to help students to write variety of sentences in a captivating way. After using SIMCOM2 quizzes in teaching and learning through Edmodo, students could use various types of sentences in their post-test to get high marks for the language part in writing MUET where 100% students could score a band 4 – 5 (language). This study is recommended due to the MUET writing weightage is 90 of the other three skills and MUET is compulsory for the students to get into university.
