Edtech startup Quipper has just held a National UTBK Online Tryout which was held in October 2020 and March 2021. This online tryout was attended by 84,000 students from all over Indonesia.

So, the assessment will be adjusted to the difficulty level of the question. Therefore, the more questions students can solve, the higher the score they will get. With this assessment system, Quipper hopes to help students get an idea of ​​the actual UTBK-SBMPTN implementation.

“The UTBK tryout held by Quipper this time has been based on the analysis of UTBK material from several years earlier carried out by experts in the field of education,” said Quipper Indonesia’s Content Manager Hanani Faiza in an official statement, Monday (5/4/2021).

Hanani also said, the National UTBK online tryout material that was implemented was the result of an analysis of the UTBK material several years earlier. According to Hanani, the number of participants this time also increased compared to the previous period.

“The number of students who took part in the National UTBK Online Tryout this time increased to 40 percent,” he continued. In this implementation, Quipper also provides a new feature, namely ‘Opportunity Check’ to find out the opportunities for students to pass in the intended majors and PTNs.
