UM UGM CBT study plan

UM UGM CBT · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Tes Potensi Skolastik & Penalaran Matematika

  • Diagnose baseline ability by completing one timed 40-question Tes Potensi Skolastik set and one timed 20-question Penalaran Matematika set, then tabulate accuracy per subtest.

  • Build a personal error log template that records question type, root cause, and correction rule for every wrong answer.

  • Drill verbal analogies and word relationships in 20-minute blocks until you can justify each answer pair in one written sentence.

  • Set up a spaced-repetition deck for Indonesian vocabulary, synonyms, and common analogy patterns, adding at least 60 entries.

Your checkpoint

A baseline scorecard listing accuracy percentage for each TPS subtest and Penalaran Matematika, plus an error log with at least 25 logged mistakes.

Week 2

Tes Potensi Skolastik

  • Practice number-sequence and pattern-recognition items daily, writing the rule you inferred before checking the answer.

  • Solve 30 quantitative-comparison items and articulate when to compute versus when to reason from structure.

  • Train syllogism and logical-deduction items by diagramming premises before selecting an option.

  • Review every error from week 1 and rewrite the correction rule in your own words.

Your checkpoint

A one-page rule sheet covering sequence patterns, comparison shortcuts, and syllogism validity checks, each illustrated with one self-solved example.

Week 3

Tes Potensi Skolastik & Penalaran Matematika

  • Complete two timed full TPS simulations under exam conditions and record time per subtest.

  • Identify the three TPS question types that consume the most time and practice a skip-and-return strategy on each.

  • Solve 25 Penalaran Matematika word problems involving ratios, percentages, and rates, showing full working.

  • Cut average time per TPS question by at least 15 percent versus week 1 baseline without dropping accuracy.

Your checkpoint

A timing report comparing week 1 and week 3 per-subtest pace and accuracy, with a written decision on which question types to skip first.

Week 4

Literasi & Penalaran Matematika

  • Read two Indonesian non-fiction passages per session and extract main idea, author stance, and supporting evidence in note form.

  • Practice 20 inference and assumption questions, writing why each distractor fails.

  • Solve 20 data-interpretation sets from tables and charts, stating the arithmetic before computing.

  • Review week 1-3 error logs and retire rules you now apply automatically.

Your checkpoint

A reading-and-data portfolio of 10 passages analyzed with main idea, stance, and evidence notes, plus 10 chart sets fully worked.

Week 5

Literasi

  • Drill 40 vocabulary-in-context and sentence-completion items, recording the clue word that determined each answer.

  • Analyze 15 author-purpose and tone questions, labeling each option as too broad, too narrow, contradicted, or supported.

  • Practice paragraph-organization items by ordering sentences and justifying the transition logic.

  • Time yourself on two 25-minute literacy blocks to build reading stamina.

Your checkpoint

A distractor taxonomy sheet classifying at least 30 wrong options by failure type (scope, contradiction, unsupported, extreme wording).

Week 6

Mata Pelajaran Pendukung Program Studi

  • Map your target study program to its required supporting subjects and list the specific topics tested at UM UGM level.

  • Review core theory for your two weakest supporting-subject topics and write condensed summary cards for each.

  • Work through 40 mixed practice items in your supporting subjects, tagging each by topic and difficulty.

  • Re-derive every formula or concept you missed from first principles rather than memorizing the answer.

Your checkpoint

A topic-coverage matrix for your supporting subjects marking each topic as mastered, shaky, or unstudied, with summary cards for all shaky topics.

Week 7

Mata Pelajaran Pendukung Program Studi & Tes Potensi Skolastik

  • Complete two timed mixed simulations covering all four domains and score each domain separately.

  • Close the three largest remaining gaps in your supporting subjects with targeted 30-minute drills.

  • Re-run 30 previously missed TPS items to confirm the correction rules hold under time pressure.

  • Refine your exam-day section budget, allocating minutes per domain based on week 7 data.

Your checkpoint

A gap-closure report showing before-and-after accuracy on your three weakest supporting-subject topics and on re-tested TPS items.

Week 8

Tes Potensi Skolastik & Literasi & Penalaran Matematika & Mata Pelajaran Pendukung Program Studi

  • Take three full-length timed simulations on separate days and log scores per domain.

  • Review only error logs and summary cards; add no new material after day four.

  • Rehearse exam logistics: section order, answer-sheet pacing, and a skip-and-return routine.

  • Confirm rest and timing routine for exam day and write a one-page final checklist.

Your checkpoint

A final readiness report with three simulation scores, trend lines per domain, and a one-page exam-day checklist.

Milestones

Week 2: Baseline TPS accuracy has improved by at least 10 percentage points, and the error log contains at least 50 entries with written correction rules.

Week 4: Timed TPS simulation score is stable or rising while average time per question is at least 15 percent faster than week 1; 10 literacy passages and 10 data sets are fully worked.

Week 6: Every topic in the supporting-subject coverage matrix is marked mastered or shaky, with no topic left unstudied, and at least 40 mixed subject items are logged.

Week 8: Three full simulations completed with domain scores trending upward and no domain below 60 percent accuracy; final checklist written.
