UM UNDIP exam-day guide
UM UNDIP · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Kartu peserta / registration card
Print and bring the participant card or registration proof you received after registering for UM UNDIP. If your card has not arrived or the format is unclear, confirm with the provider (UNDIP admissions office) before exam day.
Official photo ID
Bring the original identity document required by the provider (commonly a KTP for Indonesian citizens, or a passport for international applicants). Do not bring only a photocopy. Confirm the accepted ID types with the provider.
Printed proof of payment / registration status
Keep a printout or screenshot of your payment confirmation and registration status in case there is a discrepancy at check-in.
Exam permit or admission ticket details
Note the exact date, session time, building, and room printed on your permit. Re-check the official UNDIP announcement shortly before the exam in case of schedule or venue changes.
Pencils, eraser, and sharpener (if paper-based)
For a paper-based CBT-style answer sheet, bring 2B pencils and a clean eraser. Confirm with the provider whether the test is computer-based or paper-based, since this changes what you may bring.
Black pen
A black ballpoint pen is useful for signing the attendance list and filling in administrative forms.
Watch without smart features
A simple analog or digital watch helps you pace yourself if the room clock is not visible. Smartwatches and phones are usually prohibited at the desk; confirm the provider's device policy.
Light jacket or layers
Exam halls are often heavily air-conditioned. Dress in neat, modest clothing and bring a light layer you can remove.
Water and a light snack
Bring water in a clear bottle and a small snack for before or after the session. Check whether food and drink are allowed inside the exam room.
Transport and arrival plan
Plan to arrive well before the reporting time, allowing for traffic around the UNDIP campus (Tembalang or Pleburan, depending on your venue). Identify the building in advance.
Read the official exam-day announcement
Re-read the official notice from UNDIP for reporting time, dress code, prohibited items, and entry rules. Do not rely on secondhand information.
Rest and health preparation
Sleep adequately the night before, eat a normal breakfast, and bring any prescribed medication you need. Avoid trying new foods or heavy caffeine on exam morning.
Plan the day
Re-check the official UNDIP announcement for date, session, venue, and reporting time. Confirm your registration card and ID are ready. Plan the route and estimate travel time; if possible, do a dry run to the campus or check the building location on a map.
Stop learning new material. Review your own summary notes, formula sheets, and past mistakes. Focus on the subjects weighted in your chosen study program (for example, Saintek versus Soshum groupings) and on time management for each section.
Do at least one timed practice set under exam-like conditions: no phone, fixed duration, answer sheet or computer interface as applicable. Review errors immediately afterward rather than only checking the score.
Pack your bag: registration card, original ID, pencils and eraser or pens, watch, jacket, water, snack, and any printed confirmations. Lay out your clothes. Charge your phone but plan to switch it off at the venue.
Do a light review only, set two alarms, and go to bed at a normal hour. Avoid all-night cramming, which typically costs more in concentration than it gains in facts.
Eat a normal breakfast, drink water, and leave with buffer time for traffic and entry queues. Arrive before the reporting time stated by the provider; late arrivals may be refused entry, so confirm the cutoff with the provider.
Locate your room, follow signage and staff instructions, and complete attendance and identity checks. Keep your ID and registration card accessible. Switch off your phone and store it as instructed.
Read the instructions and confirm the number of questions and time limit. Answer the questions you are confident about first, marking uncertain ones for a second pass. Do not spend too long on any single item.
Return to marked questions, eliminate clearly wrong options, and make a reasoned choice. Reserve the final minutes to check that every question has an answer and that your identity details are filled in correctly.
Note any issues (for example, technical problems during a computer-based test) and report them to the invigilator before leaving. Keep your documents until results are announced and monitor the official UNDIP channel for the next stage.
Rules to check
Bring the original identity document and registration card required by the provider. If you are unsure which documents are accepted, confirm with the provider before exam day rather than assuming.
Follow the provider's instructions on prohibited items. Phones, smartwatches, and unauthorized notes are typically not allowed in the exam room; confirm the exact list with the provider.
Arrive by the stated reporting time. Late-arrival and entry-cutoff policies vary, so confirm the cutoff with the provider and plan to arrive early.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the test, and do not look at others' answers or materials. Follow the invigilator's instructions at all times.
Breaks, if any, are at the discretion of the invigilator. Do not leave the room without permission, and confirm the provider's policy on toilet breaks before the session begins.
Scoring and answer-marking rules are set by the provider. Confirm whether wrong answers are penalized and how answers must be recorded (answer sheet or computer interface) before you begin.
If a technical or administrative problem occurs during the test, raise it immediately with the invigilator and note the details. Do not attempt to fix equipment yourself.
Keep your registration documents and any exam receipts until results are announced, and rely only on official UNDIP announcements for results and next steps.
