Message for Participants
To make it easier, participants need to analyze the type of UTBK test which consists of; 1) Scholastic potential test (TPS). This test covers general reasoning skills, quantitative skills including mastery of basic Mathematics, general knowledge and comprehension as well as reading and writing comprehension skills. 2) English proficiency test. This test aims to measure English language skills that support learning in higher education.
Then, 3) Academic ability test (TKA) which aims to measure knowledge and understanding of science taught (subjects) in schools and is needed to take higher education. This test emphasizes higher order thinking skills (HOTS).
For the UTBK exam group, namely, 1) there is a Science and Technology (Saintek) exam with TPS, English and TKA science (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) exam materials. The allocation of time is about 195 minutes. 2) Social and Humanities (Soshum) exam group with TPS, English and TKA Soshum exam materials (Geography, History, Sociology, and Economics). Time allocation 195 minutes. 3) Mixed test group (Science and Social Sciences) with TPS, English, Science and Technology TKA and Soshum test materials. Time allocation 285 minutes.
“In addition to learning and practicing answering questions, participants also need to maintain physical and psychological health. Make a regular study schedule. Periodically self-evaluate, which parts have been understood and which have not. What is understood, continue to be explored. What you don't understand, try again and practice again until you understand. Don't forget to pray and ask for the blessing of your parents. Happy learning and hopefully the results will be as expected," he said.
For information, the first batch of UTBK will be held on 17 - 23 May 2022 consisting of sessions 1 to 14 sessions. The second wave will take place on 28 May - 03 June 2022 for sessions 15 to 23.
