The Soul Draining TKA (Tes Kemampuan ABIGAIL)

TKA aka Tes Kemampuan Akademik, or might i say Tes Kesabaran Agit? It is a fun experience, but a stressful one indeed.

I think we started preparing for TKA a few months ago? But like… individually preparing. We actually prepared TKA with the teachers a around two months before the actual TKA starts. The math excercise? STRESSFUL. The actual exam? BIKIN SINTING. I might admit that the last two months befre TKA was the most stressful moments of my life. But thankfully, the exam has alreadyy passed.

Okay, let’s begin from the very very very very start, shall we? The start of the year was already filled with so much try out exams, i wasn’t very happy with the try out eams, and the result too. We had 5 try out exams (cmiiw), and 3 OF THEM WERE A FAIL. Either the problem was thhe code, or the web, the application, or the login password, or the username—THERE WERE ALWAYS PROBLEM AT THREE OF THOSE TRY OUTS. Thankfully the other two was successful.

Okay, so short story long, we went to Ithisom by grabcar, and alhamdulillah fortunately all of our grabcar that we ordered wa clean, and the drivers ere super kind! Only one was sokab though, aku gasuka kakak itu. So this one grab driver was driving so recklessly, AND HE THREW HIS TRASH TIDAK PADA TEMPATNYA, aku sebel banget, SEBEL BANGET. Minimal di keep dulu lah ya trashnya, baru dibuang, JANGAN DI TENGAH JALAN, BUKA JENDELA TERUS LANGSUNG BUANG SAMPAH SEMBARANGAN, jujur itu penngen aku raup mukanya. Padahal kan buang sampah in a proper way ituu basic manners. Kalian jangan gitu ya fellow friends, ga baik!

Okay, let’s move on to the try outs and exam. Okay, the try outs was HARD and in my honest opinion, it was pretty complex. The try out result was not what i expected, because what do you mean i got less than 70 on both math and Bahasa? That sucked, honestly. and none of my score were up to tthe score minimum, pretty disapointing honestly. But that’s owkieeee, because the exam was actually not as hard as i expected it to be (even though i’m still not sure about my result). Day 1 exam, it was math. Math wasn’t really stressful, but te time we got was super limited indeed, and it annoyed me so much. The questions i mostly got was geometry and algebra, which i fortunately understand. The unfoortunate thing? I lost track of time and didn’t get to double check all of my answers, i didn’t get to fill the character survey they had. Second day of exam, Bahasa. I was really grateful because i got so many time eft, and i get to duble check my answers, even triple check my aswers. But i did not expect that the character survey has so many questions, i got like.. 32 questions, if i’m not wrong. overall, the actual exam wasn’t was complex as i expected it to be and i hope i’m happy with thhe result once it comes out. The most fun thing about TKA? Jajan tahu bulat sama sotong didepan ithisom, that’s the only 100000/10 out of all the experience. SOTONG SAMA TAHU BULATNYA ENAK BANGET ASLI, AKU SUKA BANGET! Bumbunya micin sama bubuk cabai extra pedas!

Ini kritik terbuka untuk pemerintah incaase they’re reading this. Bapak ibu yang terhormat, saya mohon jika membuat ujian akhir untk kelas 6, 9 dan 12, yang masuk akal ya. Minimal kalo nggak masuk akal, waktunya yang dibanyakin ya bapak ibu. 75 menit untuk 30 soal matematika yang isinya cuma yapping tentang backstory soalnya? Mending gausah sama sekali ya bapak ibu, bukan menguji otak namanya kalo hampir semua isi soalnya cuma backstory yang isinya 3 paragraf. Kalo mau bapak ibu aja yang nyobain TKA nya sendiri. overall? 10/10 termasuk jajan, kalo ga termasuk jajan? -10/10.

Sincerely, Jasmine
