utbk
Also called: ujian tulis berbasis komputer
A computer-based test whose score is used for admission to state universities via the SNBT pathway.
What it means
UTBK is a computer-based written exam that is part of SNBT. The exam is taken on a computer at a designated test location. The results are used as the basis for admission to state universities. The materials and procedures are regulated in the new student admission policy.
Why it matters for families
Technical and mental readiness for the UTBK affects the results. Families need to pay attention to the schedule, test location, and transportation needs. Misunderstanding the computer system can make students panic on exam day.
Example
For example, the test location is 40 km from home. The family should prepare transportation costs and possibly accommodation so the student is not late. If not planned, the student may lose focus before the exam.
Common misunderstanding
Many think the UTBK can be retaken at will. The correction is that the opportunity to take the test follows the applicable selection period regulations.
