UM UNESA study plan

UM UNESA · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Tes Potensi Skolastik

  • Map the Tes Potensi Skolastik subtest structure (verbal, numerical, figural, and reasoning components) and record the exact item format and timing for each

  • Diagnose baseline accuracy in verbal reasoning (analogy, synonym-antonym, relationship classification) by completing 40 timed items and logging error types

  • Build a personal error taxonomy with at least five recurring mistake categories and assign each wrong answer to one

  • Establish a weekly study log template that tracks hours, items attempted, accuracy, and review status

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic report listing baseline accuracy per TPS subtest, your five error categories, and a completed study log template

Week 2

Tes Potensi Skolastik

  • Drill numerical reasoning: number series, arithmetic word problems, and quantitative comparison, targeting 80 items with written solution paths

  • Memorize and apply core shortcuts for ratios, percentages, averages, and unit conversion without a calculator

  • Reduce average time per numerical item to under 90 seconds while keeping accuracy above 70 percent

  • Review every wrong item from week 1 and rewrite the correct reasoning in your own words

Your checkpoint

A 60-item numerical reasoning set completed under time, with a written solution for every incorrect answer

Week 3

Tes Potensi Skolastik

  • Practice figural and spatial reasoning: pattern completion, rotation, mirroring, and sequence continuation across 50 items

  • Apply a systematic scanning routine to diagram-based items so no option is skipped

  • Combine verbal, numerical, and figural items into a single 60-minute mixed set to practice switching cognitive modes

  • Identify your two weakest TPS subtests and schedule targeted review blocks for them

Your checkpoint

A timed 60-minute mixed TPS simulation with a score breakdown by subtest and a prioritized weakness list

Week 4

Tes Potensi Skolastik & Penalaran Matematika

  • Complete a full-length TPS simulation under exam conditions and record section-by-section timing

  • Analyze Penalaran Matematika item types (data interpretation, quantitative comparison, applied problem solving) and note the reasoning chain each requires

  • Solve 30 Penalaran Matematika items involving tables, charts, and multi-step word problems

  • Set a target score per domain and convert it into a required accuracy rate for practice sets

Your checkpoint

A full TPS simulation score report plus a written target-accuracy table for all four domains

Week 5

Penalaran Matematika

  • Master data interpretation from tables, bar charts, line graphs, and pie charts across 40 items

  • Translate word problems into equations reliably, covering rates, mixtures, work, and sequential change problems

  • Practice estimation and answer-elimination strategies to cut solving time on multi-step items

  • Log every arithmetic slip separately from conceptual errors to distinguish speed problems from knowledge gaps

Your checkpoint

A 50-item Penalaran Matematika set with a split error log separating computational slips from conceptual gaps

Week 6

Penalaran Matematika & Literasi Bahasa Indonesia

  • Complete a timed Penalaran Matematika simulation and reach at least 75 percent accuracy

  • Analyze Literasi Bahasa Indonesia passage types (expository, argumentative, narrative) and identify the question stems each typically carries

  • Practice finding main idea, inference, author purpose, and tone across 8 passages with written justification for each answer

  • Build a vocabulary and connective-word list for academic Indonesian to speed passage comprehension

Your checkpoint

A passage-analysis workbook covering 8 Indonesian texts with main idea, inference, and purpose answers justified in writing

Week 7

Literasi Bahasa Indonesia & Literasi Bahasa Inggris

  • Drill English reading comprehension: main idea, detail retrieval, inference, vocabulary in context, and author attitude across 8 passages

  • Review English grammar and structure items covering tense, agreement, connectors, and sentence completion

  • Practice skimming and scanning routines that locate evidence before reading answer options

  • Compare performance between Indonesian and English literacy sets and reallocate time to the weaker one

Your checkpoint

A comparative literacy report with accuracy per question type for both languages and a revised time-allocation plan

Week 8

Tes Potensi Skolastik & Literasi Bahasa Indonesia & Literasi Bahasa Inggris & Penalaran Matematika

  • Complete two full-length simulations across all four domains under strict timing

  • Review every flagged and incorrect item from all eight weeks and confirm each error category is closed or documented

  • Rehearse exam-day logistics: section order, time checkpoints, and a rule for when to skip and return

  • Finalize a one-page formula, strategy, and vocabulary summary sheet for last-day review

Your checkpoint

Two full simulation score reports showing improvement over the week 4 baseline, plus a finalized one-page review sheet

Milestones

Week 2: Numerical reasoning accuracy reaches at least 70 percent at under 90 seconds per item, verified by a timed 60-item set

Week 4: Full TPS simulation completed with a per-subtest score breakdown and a written target-accuracy table for all four domains

Week 6: Penalaran Matematika accuracy reaches at least 75 percent on a timed simulation, and 8 Indonesian passages analyzed with written justifications

Week 8: Both full-length simulations score above the week 4 baseline in every domain, and the one-page review sheet is complete
