Days where the UTBK SBMPTN activities have been carried out for the third session. Towards 2 am, Ana was awakened by her mother and asked to eat and then take a shower leaving at half past 5 am, the selection at that time was held at exactly 7 am. Ana went to take part in the UTBK SBMPTN at Airlangga University accompanied by her brother, Ms. Syahrul, and Mr. Mus by car. In the middle of the campus menu trip, Ana stared at the half-open window of the car, enjoying the cold morning breeze just to try to relax her mind. During the trip to campus, Ana tried not to think about negative things that would make her mind even more chaotic. He arrived at the campus at 06.28.
"Sis, please escort and accompany me to go to the Pharmacy Faculty building" Ana asked her sister.
"Just go alone, learn to be brave enough to go there (the Pharmacy Faculty building) by yourself," Pak Mus said to Ana.
"Yes, have the courage to go there yourself," said Kak Syahrul.
"It's true what Pak Mus and Sis Syahrul said," said his brother.
In the end, it was Kak Syahrul who tried to take Ana to the Pharmacy Faculty building, because he still didn't have the courage to go there alone. When walking towards the entrance gate which was guarded by several security guards, it turned out that the security guards did not allow anyone other than exam participants to enter.
"Sir. Where is the Faculty of Pharmacy building?" Ask Kak Syahrul to the security guard.
"The building is on the right and the most corner, you can see from here the building is blue," replied the security guard, pointing to the magnificent building of the Faculty of Pharmacy that was visible from a distance. "Sorry, only SBMPTN participants are allowed to enter there, for the introduction, please just wait outside," continued the security guard.
"Thank you sir," said Kak Syahrul to the security guard.
"An, you go there alone huh. The security guard said that only exam takers were allowed to go there. Later I, Pak Mus, and your sister will be waiting in the car," said Sis Syahrul.
Ana also ventured and started to go there alone. Meanwhile, the security guard directed the three escorts, namely Mr. Mus, his sister Ana, and Ms. Syahrul to park the car and wait somewhere outside the location of the Faculty of Pharmacy building.
"Sir. I want to ask, where is the Faculty of Pharmacy building?" Ana said when she approached one of the security guards standing on the side of the road.
"Close to here, the building is on the right," replied the security guard, pointing to the Pharmacy Faculty building.
Ana continued on her way, arriving in front of a building that looked very grand, she asked the security guard to make sure it was the Faculty of Pharmacy building.
"Sir. Is it true that this is the Pharmacy Faculty building?" he asked.
"Yes, that's right," replied the security guard while showing his head.
Before entering the lobby of the Faculty of Pharmacy building, all participants who had arrived there were told to wash their hands first and then the examination committee ordered them to wait on the terrace of the building and form two rows of participants according to their respective examination room groups. Ana got a CBT 2 exam room on the 6th floor of the Faculty of Pharmacy building. Participants in the CBT 2 exam group are welcome to enter first, then hand over the complete exam documents to the exam committee in the lobby. Participants who have submitted their complete exam documents are welcome to wait in the lobby to wait a few minutes and then receive exam instructions from the committee. After half an hour of waiting, all participants were given disciplinary instructions during the exam from the committee and then entered their respective exam rooms. Ana got a seat in the right corner and the very back, she just sat alone because no other participant sat on the seat right next to her.
Before working on the exam questions, examinees were told to wait in order to receive instructions on how to work on the exam questions as well as submissions about things that are not allowed to be done during the exam from the supervisor and exam committee. After that, each of the examinees was given a piece of black paper to use as a scribble count.
"Sir, I'm sorry. Can you come here?" Ana called the exam supervisor while raising her hand. Then the exam supervisor came up to him.
"Does the username have to be written under the test number?" asked by Ana.
"Yes, that's right," replied the supervisor.
After about 15 minutes of waiting, the exam finally started. In the middle of working on the exam questions, Ana suddenly felt a stomach ache, this made her concentration very disturbed. With cold sweat pouring down, Ana tried to hold back from going out of the room to defecate because the examinees were not allowed to leave the room if the exam time was not over. Until the exam time is about to end, his stomach still feels sick, he can only give up whatever score he gets from the test. Especially when the exam committee approached him to watch him work on the questions, his body felt increasingly tense and trembling.
Several hours later, finally the exam was over and each participant was ordered to leave the exam room starting from the participants who sat in the front seat to the very back. Ana's mind was starting to feel a little relieved and calm, but strangely when the exam time was over, she didn't feel any stomach cramps anymore. One of the exam supervisors came to approach Ana.
"Where are you from?" asked by the exam supervisor.
"I'm from Gresik sir" replied Ana.
"come here by yourself or delivered?" continued to be asked by the exam supervisor.
"I came here with my brother, sir," replied Ana.
"What campus did you enroll in?" asked by the exam supervisor.
"I registered at this campus (Airlangga University) and Padjadjaran University" Ana answered.
"Enroll in what major?" asked the exam supervisor.
"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine" Ana answered.
"wow! cool and great to choose the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Hopefully it will be accepted later, especially on this campus, "said the exam supervisor.
"Yes. Amen, sir," said Ana. 'Actually, I don't like the Veterinary Medicine major, sir,' he muttered to himself.
Ana left the exam room and went down to the lowest floor. He felt confused about the place he was going through because initially he entered through the lobby of the building but he left through the back room of the motorbike parking lot 'Ha! what space is this?, how come there are many motorbikes here, is this a motorbike parking lot? this room' he muttered to himself. It didn't take long for him to find the way out of the building because he followed behind the examinees who also passed through the room. Immediately he walked to the courtyard of the main gate to enter campus C. He saw that the car that had taken him was not there anymore, he immediately contacted Sis Syahrul by phone to pick him up at that place, while waiting for him to sit in the hallway of the campus garden. Not long after, Pak Mus' car came to pick him up. When Ana was approaching the car, she was almost hit by a moving car because she was careless about the road situation.
"Ma'am, stop! Look at the situation on the right and left of the road before you want to cross," said the security guard.
"Oh yes, sir," was the sudden response from Ana while shocked by the snapping from the security guard.
While in the car. "Did you wait long? Asked by Mr. Mus. "Earlier I was directed by the security guard to a parking lot outside which is also quite far from here, because parking is not allowed here," continued Pak Mus.
"It didn't take long to wait, only earlier I thought Pak Mus had parked his car around this location" Ana answered and said.
"Were you able to do the test easily?" asked Mr. Mus.
"Because it's quite difficult, sir," Ana replied, laughing shyly.
"It's pretty hard, but you can answer easy questions, right?" continued to be asked by Mr. Mus. And Ana responded by nodding her head.
When she was in the car on her way home, Ana's mind became worried. She was worried that she would not pass the selection and that this would make her parents even more disappointed. Pak Mus broke the silence in the car by inviting Ana to chat.
"Would you like to stop by? to Sunan Ampel or somewhere like that?" Pak Mus offered to Ana. "If you want, then I will turn around while it's still not far," said Pak Mus.
Ana seemed hesitant to accept Mr. Mus' offer, so she asked her brother for a decision.
"Sis. Shall we stop first or not?" Ana asked her sister.
"No need sir, we just go home" said his brother to Pak Mus.
"Okay, let's just go straight home," said Mr. Mus.
Ana looked at the crowds of cars passing by on the toll road from behind the car window while occasionally closing her eyes for a moment by leaning her head on the car seat cushion to relieve her fatigue a little. He thought he would leave whatever the results were to God, but still convinced himself that he would pass the SBMPTN, just to make his parents happy even though he didn't like the Veterinary Medicine major.
At 11.15, Ana arrived at her house. To his mother, he told at length about the activities when he was undergoing selection on campus from the beginning to the end of the activity. After being satisfied telling stories, he fell asleep soundly in the living room until late afternoon. Her mother woke her up in the late afternoon, Ana got up and went into the living room to peek at her mother talking to her neighbors from behind the window.
"Has Ana gone home Ma'am Deya?" asked Mrs. Lifa to Ana's mother.
"Fah, not long after the midday call to prayer, he arrived at home" Ana's mother answered.
"Did many of his friends also take the test?" continued to be asked by Mrs. Lifa.
"Not his friends anyway, but people from various regions, also many who took the test. Ana said when she told me, there were also quite a lot of test takers" Ana's mother answered.
After 4 days had passed, while she was in recitation, Ana was asked by her neighbor who had also been her Koran teacher.
"Did you pass the selection?" asked by Bu Bureauh.
"The announcement of graduation has not yet been issued, it was issued on June 14th," said Ana.
"oh. So you have to wait for the announcement. I think as soon as the test is finished, the graduation will be immediately announced, "said Mrs. Biroh.
Every day, Ana's mother always reminded her son to pray so that he would pass the SBMPTN. In fact, the mother does not know if her child is still enrolling in the veterinary department, she thinks that her child is enrolling in the general medical department. Every time, Ana also always remembers her worries, she feels guilty for hiding the truth from her parents in order to suppress disappointment from them.
