SMUP UNPAD study plan

SMUP UNPAD · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Penalaran Umum

  • Diagnose baseline ability in Penalaran Umum by completing and scoring one full timed practice set of deduction, induction, and quantitative reasoning items

  • Map each wrong answer to a specific error type (misread premise, invalid inference, arithmetic slip, time pressure)

  • Build a daily 20-minute drill habit targeting conditional syllogisms and 'semua/sebagian/tidak ada' quantifier logic

  • Set a personal target score and timing benchmark for domain 1 based on the diagnostic result

Your checkpoint

A one-page error log listing every missed item from the diagnostic with its error type and a corrected reasoning line

Week 2

Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Penalaran Umum & Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Pengetahuan Kuantitatif

  • Practice analytical reasoning passages with multi-constraint ordering and grouping, completing at least 15 passages under time

  • Reduce average time per Penalaran Umum item to under 90 seconds without dropping accuracy

  • Review core arithmetic, ratio, percentage, and number-property rules needed for Pengetahuan Kuantitatif

  • Drill 40 quantitative comparison items and record which comparison shortcuts you actually used

Your checkpoint

A timing sheet showing per-section accuracy and average seconds per item for both domains, compared with week 1

Week 3

Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Pengetahuan Kuantitatif & Tes Literasi - Penalaran Matematika

  • Master algebra, inequalities, and function manipulation through 50 targeted Pengetahuan Kuantitatif items

  • Learn and apply the 'sufficiency of statement' logic used in quantitative comparison questions

  • Translate 20 word problems from Penalaran Matematika into equations before solving, to separate modeling errors from calculation errors

  • Build a formula card covering geometry, sequences, and basic statistics, and verify it by solving one item per formula

Your checkpoint

A completed formula card plus a 20-item modeling worksheet where each problem is written as an equation before any computation

Week 4

Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Pemahaman Bacaan dan Menulis & Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Pengetahuan dan Pemahaman Umum

  • Practice identifying main ideas, author tone, and inference in Indonesian reading passages, 10 passages per session

  • Correct sentence structure, effective sentences, and punctuation errors in 30 editing items, citing the rule broken

  • Memorize and apply Indonesian spelling and word-formation conventions (e.g., di- as prefix versus preposition, hyphens, capitalization)

  • Review general knowledge and vocabulary items in Pengetahuan dan Pemahaman Umum and log every term you could not define

Your checkpoint

An editing portfolio of 30 corrected sentences, each annotated with the grammar or spelling rule applied

Week 5

Tes Literasi - Literasi Bahasa Indonesia & Tes Literasi - Literasi Bahasa Inggris

  • Read 6 long Indonesian nonfiction passages and answer literal, inferential, and evaluative questions on each

  • Complete 4 English reading sets focusing on main idea, reference, vocabulary in context, and author purpose

  • Build a personal list of 60 academic English words encountered in practice and use each in a sentence

  • Practice summarizing a 400-word passage in three sentences to test comprehension under time

Your checkpoint

A vocabulary log of 60 academic English words with original example sentences and a three-sentence summary for each of 6 Indonesian passages

Week 6

Tes Literasi - Penalaran Matematika & Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Penalaran Umum

  • Solve 30 multi-step Penalaran Matematika problems involving rates, mixtures, and data interpretation from tables and charts

  • Revisit the week 1 error log and confirm that previously mistyped reasoning patterns no longer recur

  • Practice mixed-set switching between verbal and numerical reasoning to build cognitive flexibility

  • Complete one full timed simulation of domains 1, 4, and 7 and analyze the result

Your checkpoint

A simulation report with section scores, a ranked list of the three weakest item types, and a written fix for each

Week 7

Materi Ujian Khusus Program Studi (Saintek/Soshum) & Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Pemahaman Bacaan dan Menulis

  • Confirm your intended study program and assemble the specific Saintek or Soshum review list for that program

  • Complete 40 subject-specific practice items in your chosen stream and log every concept gap

  • Review the highest-frequency grammar and editing rules from week 4 and re-test yourself on 20 new items

  • Close the top three concept gaps identified in week 6 with focused re-study and re-testing

Your checkpoint

A subject-specific concept-gap list for your program, with each gap marked closed only after scoring at least 80% on a re-test of that concept

Week 8

Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Penalaran Umum & Tes Potensi Skolastik (TPS) - Pengetahuan Kuantitatif

  • Run two full-length timed simulations under exam conditions, including the essay-free section order you expect

  • Review every error from both simulations and reclassify each as knowledge, strategy, or timing failure

  • Finalize a per-section time-allocation strategy and a rule for when to skip and return

  • Consolidate all formula cards, vocabulary logs, and error logs into a single one-hour pre-exam review sheet

Your checkpoint

A one-page pre-exam review sheet plus a final simulation scorecard showing improvement over the week 1 baseline

Milestones

Week 2: Average time per Penalaran Umum item is under 90 seconds with accuracy at or above your week 1 baseline

Week 4: You can explain, without notes, the grammar or spelling rule behind at least 25 of the 30 sentences you corrected

Week 6: Simulation score for domains 1, 4, and 7 combined has improved by at least 10 percentage points over the week 1 diagnostic

Week 8: Final simulation score meets or exceeds your target set in week 1, and your pre-exam review sheet fits on one page
