So I received an sms that I got shortlisted to take the test in Pusat PermataPINTAR in UKM the other day and the ujian saringan was this morning :) I got the first batch which is at 8am. I did a lot of Google-ing about this ujian though, so I guess its my turn to share my experience for those who are gonna sit this test as well in the future ;)

When I reached the computer lab, we were required to show our ICs to the person in charge as they will do the registration. As I was lining up, I counted that each computer lab have 20 computers, and there were around 3 computer labs, if not mistaken.

So, everyone in the lab I sat started at 8.30am... except me. I was so unlucky to choose a computer that was lag and "internet disabled". Haha. Ehem. Well. So the person in charge let me used the teacher's computer to do the test, hence I started the exam around 9am.

The test consist of 15 modules and you are required to finish everything within 150 minutes. Each modules has around 30 questions, so the trick is to do it fast and accurate. You are not allowed to go back to the previous page to change your answers once you press the "next" button, so be cautious!

Anyway, I don't recall properly all the topics of the modules by sequence but here is the rough procedure:

1. I forgot the title but its all about constructing 2D patterns :) This is really simple, just follow the picture given and construct it back :) No thinking required.

2. Patterns : This module gets harder as you go. Just follow the pattern and its simple logic until you reach almost the end. I have completely no idea what's the answer for the last 3 questions because it doesn't really make any sense to me. /.\ gah.

3. Numerical memory test : The question will show you a set of numbers for a short period of time (around 3 seconds) and you have to memorize it and retype it. You're not allowed to type it while the numbers are displayed. This one get harder as you go, until the end, its 9 different numbers in random sequence, so be prepared.

4. Similarities : You gotta think out of the box for this one. Example : The question goes like this "Red, Yellow". State the similarities. Its a subjective question so you can type like, "rainbow colors, traffic light, selangor flag, warm colors". Some of them I remembered were, 'frogs,snake' , 'rice, bread' , 'love, hatred'...

5. Categorizing : Just pictures and you have to select pictures of each rows that you think should belong to a category. You have to think a bit deep for this one.

6. Symbols matching : Example: " ) " means 9. and a whole lot other symbols haha... Then there will be a bunch of symbols asking you to type the meaning of each symbols based on what they gave. Easy.

7. Memory test! again. This time its harder because it involves alphabets. You have to arranged the numbers AND alphabets in ascending order after the question is displayed for a short period of time. Gotta think fast for this one.

8. Pictures again. This time, there is a LOT of pictures and they'll ask you to select which pictures are animals and fruits. A lot of concentration required for this one.

9. Thesaurus : Haha, they give you words and then asked you to explain the meaning. Example of words I recalled : impervious, pencil, historical artefak, eloquent, etc. This one, pandai2 lah.

10. Comprehension: Its ethical questions, really :) Like, what should you do when you found a phone on the floor? But there are also, Biology related questions. Eg, What is metabolism process? What is greenhouse effect. How rain is formed? What is the negative effect of ICT? HOTS questions, hahahaha....

11. Symbols matching! This one I'm actually a bit blur, because the questions give you 2 symbols and another set of different symbols. Its a true or false questions and you have to choose whether its true/false that the 2 symbols are SIMILAR to the set of symbols. This one, I can't help much sorry ><

12. Arithmetic :) Simple maths like 2+3=5. Until you reached like the last 5 questions of the module, the maths is a bit confusing. It involves speed and money. Its what you learnt in Form 4 Physics but, I was so blank at that time because I was rushing time :?

13. Spot the missing part! This one, haha, pandai2 lah :)

14. I think I'm missing something. General knowledge is involved too like, whats the distance between the moon and the earth, inventor of the phone.

15. Okay, I definitely forgotten something and I can't recall it. Sorry peeps!
Note: You are not allowed to bring anything inside the lab, like calculator, pens, pencils and papers.

So I really hope I got this asasi pintar tho haha...
Ah well :)
