Bekasi, 2 April 2026 — A serious yet enthusiastic atmosphere was evident in the Computer Laboratory of Al Siddiq International School during the implementation of the second Try Out of the Academic Competency Test (TO2 TKA). This activity was attended by Year 9 male and female students as part of a systematic effort to prepare themselves for the actual examination.
The TO2 TKA was conducted in an orderly manner under the direct supervision of the Principal, Mr Amal Dzikrullah, S.Pd., M.Pd. His presence not only ensured the smooth running of the activity but also served as tangible support for the students as they faced an important stage in their academic journey.
The subjects tested in this TO2 TKA included Bahasa Indonesia and Mathematics—two fundamental areas that serve as key indicators of students’ academic ability. From the outset, participants appeared focused and committed as they worked through each question, making careful and measured use of their time.
This try-out was not merely a practice session, but also a means of reflection for students to assess their level of readiness. Through this activity, students learned to recognise their strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to develop more effective and targeted study strategies.
On the other hand, the TO2 TKA also trained essential skills such as time management, speed, and accuracy in answering questions. Under the pressure of limited time, students were required to remain calm, focused, and think clearly—abilities that are crucial for success in the actual examination.
Beyond academic achievement, this activity also helped to build students’ mental resilience. They were trained to face challenges with confidence, manage anxiety, and maintain concentration in competitive situations. Thus, the readiness developed was not only academic but also psychological.
Through the implementation of TO2 TKA, it is hoped that Year 9 students will become more mature in developing strategies, better prepared for their final examinations, and able to demonstrate their full potential. The enthusiasm and dedication shown throughout the activity reflect a strong determination to achieve optimal results in the future.
