He also found no significant obstacles in this exam. “There are usual disturbances, for example, network, servers, those cannot be predicted by the committee,” he explained.
The test takers’ ability to use the application was also considered good. However, it needs to be continuously improved along with the development of information technology sophistication. “So that fellow participants must always improve literacy to be better so that later if someone does not pass. Hopefully, there won’t be, in the future, it will follow again so it must be improved,” he said.
