Tests Administered in IUP UGM Stage 1
In the IUP UGM selection, participants will undergo two stages of selection. The first stage consists of GMST and AcEPT.
GMST, which stands for Gadjah Mada Scholastic Test, is an English-language scholastic potential test consisting of three parts: Verbal, Quantitative, and Figural.
If you have ever worked on questions based on Academic Potential Tests (TPA) and Scholastic Potential Tests (TPS), many concepts are quite similar.
If you are interested in obtaining information about the types of questions and materials on GMST, you can find that information on our page.
A little additional information: the GMST test score is calculated based on the number of correct answers without any deduction for incorrect answers (this information is from 2023; if there are updates, please let us know in the comments). The highest score for GMST is 800.
GMST Part 1 is verbal, consisting of 40 questions with a time limit of 30 minutes. This means you have less than 1 minute to complete each question.
GMST Part 2 is quantitative, also consisting of 40 questions with a time limit of 40 minutes, and finally, GMST Part 3 is figural, consisting of 40 questions with a time limit of 30 minutes.
As for the AcEPT test, it is quite similar to the TOEFL, with additional sections in Vocabulary and Composing Skills. The details are as follows:
- Listening: 20 Questions in 15 minutes
- Vocabulary: 30 Questions in 20 minutes
- Grammar: 40 Questions in 30 minutes
- Reading: 40 Questions in 45 minutes
- Composing: 40 Questions in 40 minutes
Once again, this is information we obtained in 2023. So, if you are reading this article in 2024, there may be updated information from IUP UGM.
Tests Administered in IUP UGM Stage 2
Once you pass Stage 1 of the IUP UGM selection, you will proceed to the essay writing session and interview.
The theme of the essay will be determined later. For tips and tricks on writing in English, there is another article that explains this well.
As for the interview session, it will be conducted in English by several people. Some questions that may arise include:
- Why choose IUP UGM?
- Why choose that major?
- What are your current activities?
- Who will finance your studies?
- If you fail the selection, what will you do?
- What are your plans after graduation?
- Opinions on current issues (varies depending on the time)
Certainly, each person's interview experience may differ. You should practice a lot. Specifically for prospective FK IUP UGM students, in addition to the essay and interview, there will also be MMPI and SJT tests. What are those?
Tests Administered in IUP UGM Stage 2 for Prospective Medical Students For prospective students of IUP UGM Medical School, in Stage 2, there will be MMPI and SJT tests.
MMPI stands for Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
MMPI is a psychometric test used to measure adult psychopathology worldwide. The purpose of this test is to provide an accurate depiction of important personality dimensions and psychopathology in psychiatric clinics. This is certainly very important for prospective medical students.
In this test, respondents will be asked to answer a number of questions. The number of questions to be answered depends on the type of MMPI test taken. The answers to these questions will later be converted by psychiatrists or clinical psychologists into a report.
The results of the MMPI test are usually measured using clinical parameters that indicate the mental health condition of the participants. There are ten clinical parameters, each indicating different psychological conditions. It would be quite lengthy to explain; you can check it out in detail here.
JT stands for Situational Judgment Test. SJT is an assessment designed to measure candidates' judgment in relevant role settings or work-related settings. Perhaps in civil service, it is similar to the Personal Characteristics Test (TKPA). The SJT can present scenarios (from simple to complex) and a list of possible responses.
As a participant, you will be asked to be aware of the existing situation and make judgments regarding the possible responses. The SJT encourages participants to use their judgment regarding effective behavior in facing specific situations, not just focusing on knowledge or skills. If you are interested in learning more about this test, there is a great journal here.
