Brilio.net - Opened almost every year, the CPNS selection always attracts the attention of millions of applicants. Many make various preparations in order to pass to become civil servants. In fact, not a few try many times in order to be able to hold the title of PNS, even though the stages passed are not easy.
As is known, the CPNS selection is divided into several stages. After passing the administrative selection, participants will enter the SKD test stage which includes working on questions with a predetermined passing grade. Although the questions seem easy, in fact many fail at this stage because the scores do not meet the passing grade.
Therefore, many study hard to pass the SKD selection and are willing to spend a lot of money to join a tutoring program at an institution. The cost of joining this tutoring program is arguably not cheap. One of the tutoring institutions in Yogyakarta, called the Youth Educational Center (YEC), offers a study package price for the CPNS test starting from IDR 3,450,000 to IDR 5,850,000.
But not everyone has a bigger budget to attend tutoring. Many also choose to study independently by utilizing the ease of technology in order to pass the CPNS selection. One of them is Gilang, a graduate of UGM History who decided to study independently, due to limited funds.
"I believe that taking such classes still has a positive impact on applicants. Maybe there are formulas, tricks, and of course fellow fighters in getting the SK PNS. But the process so far has been self-study. It just so happens that I don't have the money to take such classes," said Gilang to brilio.net .
In the era of technological advancement, finding a learning method is actually not difficult. Moreover, now there are many learning materials that can be accessed anytime and anywhere.
