UM UNY CBT study plan

Diagnose baseline ability in Tes Potensi Skolastik and Penalaran Matematika by completing one timed 40-question mixed set under exam conditions.

Classify every missed item into a named error type (concept gap, misread, time pressure, careless arithmetic).

Build a personal formula sheet covering number properties, ratios, percentages, and basic algebra, written from memory then corrected.

Establish a weekly log template that records date, domain, items attempted, accuracy, and minutes per item.

Drill verbal-reasoning item types (analogy, synonym-antonym, sentence completion) in blocks of 15 with a two-minute review after each block.

Practice numeric-pattern and series questions using a written checklist of operations to test in order.

Solve 20 word problems by translating each into an equation before calculating, showing the translation step explicitly.

Cut average time per Penalaran Matematika item to under 90 seconds without dropping accuracy below 70%.

Work through logic-deduction and syllogism sets, drawing diagrams for every item rather than reasoning in your head.

Memorize and apply the standard quantitative-comparison decision rules (when to compute, when to reason by structure).

Introduce a two-pass strategy: answer easy items first, flag hard ones, return only if time remains.

Review all logged errors from weeks 1-2 and re-solve each one cold, without looking at the original working.

Complete a full-length simulated section for domains 1 and 4 under strict timing with no pauses.

Identify which item types consume disproportionate time and set a hard skip rule for each.

Recompute the formula sheet from memory and verify it against your notes.

Rank sub-skills by expected score gain per study hour and pick the top two for week 5.

Read one 600-800 word Indonesian nonfiction passage daily and write a one-sentence main-idea statement for each.

Practice identifying the author's purpose, tone, and implicit assumptions in Indonesian texts using explicit textual evidence.

Build a vocabulary log of 60 English academic words drawn from reading, each with a self-written example sentence.

Answer inference and detail questions in English passages while underlining the exact line that justifies each answer.

Drill English grammar and sentence-structure items (tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, connectors, reference words) in sets of 20.

Practice Indonesian text-structure questions covering paragraph coherence, cohesive devices, and effective-sentence selection.

Compare paired answer options and articulate in writing why the wrong one is wrong before choosing.

Complete two timed 25-question reading sets, one per language, and record accuracy and pace.

Run a full-length simulation covering domains 1, 2, and 3 in one sitting to rebuild cross-section stamina.

Audit remaining weak sub-skills in literacy and schedule targeted re-practice for the two worst.

Rehearse a passage-skimming routine: read the question stem first, then locate evidence, then verify.

Log every remaining recurring error and confirm each has an assigned fix strategy.

Complete two full-length mixed simulations under exam conditions and compare scores for stability.

Review only the error log and formula sheet; add no new material.

Rehearse timing checkpoints (for example, target item count at the 25%, 50%, and 75% marks) and confirm them in simulation.

Finalize the exam-day routine: section order, skip thresholds, and a plan for recovering from a slow start.
