Complete Guide to Calculating Report Card Average Scores for SNBP, Here's the Formula

Kapanlagi.com - The National Selection Based on Achievement (SNBP) has become one of the favorite pathways for students who wish to continue their education to State Universities (PTN) in Indonesia. This pathway offers a golden opportunity for outstanding students to continue their studies without having to take written selection exams. However, before moving further, there is one crucial step that needs to be considered: calculating the report card average score.

Calculating the report card average score is not just a matter of numbers, but also plays an important role in formulating strategies for choosing the right study programs and PTNs. With accurate calculations, students can identify the subjects they excel in as well as their chances of being accepted into SNBP. But remember, precision is key! Errors in calculation can have fatal consequences for your educational future.

In this article, we will guide you step by step in calculating the report card average score, both per semester and overall, in accordance with the provisions of SNBP 2025.

1. Understanding SNBP: Entry Path Without Test

SNBP, or National Selection Based on Achievement, is a new pathway that replaces SNMPTN since 2023, offering a golden opportunity for outstanding students to continue their education at public universities.

Unlike before, SNBP evaluates not only academic achievements but also non-academic accomplishments, making it more comprehensive. To participate in this selection, high school/vocational school students with a three-year study period need to include report cards from semesters 1 to 5 along with a portfolio containing their three best achievements.

The selection process conducted by the Educational Testing Management Center (BPPP) of the Ministry of Education is also interesting because it does not charge a registration fee, making SNBP an inclusive pathway open to all students who aspire to achieve their higher education dreams.

2. Basic Formula for Calculating Average Report Card Scores

Let's start with the important first step: calculating the average per semester! It's quite easy and fun. You just need to add up all the subject grades you have learned, then divide it by the number of subjects.

For example, if we look at the grades in semester 1: Mathematics 75, Biology 80, Physics 90, Chemistry 75, Indonesian Language 80, English 90, and Religious Education 95, the total becomes 585. If we divide by 7, the number of subjects, we get an average of 83.57.

This number will be an important benchmark for calculations in the following semesters, and this process needs to be repeated until semester 5. Ready to calculate and achieve success?

3. Calculating Overall Semester Average

After you successfully obtain the average grade per semester, it's time to move on to the next stage: calculating the overall average! The method is quite simple, just add up all the average grades from each semester, then divide the result by the number of semesters.

For example, if you have Semester 1: 80, Semester 2: 84, Semester 3: 86, Semester 4: 92, and Semester 5: 83, then the total is 425. By dividing 425 by 5, you will get an overall average of 85.

This process is crucial to ensure that you meet the grade criteria set by the State Universities (PTN) you aspire to!

4. Determining Outstanding Subjects

In addition to calculating the average score, students are encouraged to delve deeper into their outstanding subject scores. For example, if your Chemistry and Biology scores stand out, consider choosing a major that aligns with those interests.

The method of calculating it is quite simple: sum the scores from semesters 1 to 5 for the same subject, then divide by the number of semesters. This method not only helps you understand your academic strengths but also guides your next steps in your educational journey!

5. Additional Preparation for SNBP 2025

After calculating the average score, the next step is to ensure that the report card data has been fully uploaded to the School and Student Database (PDSS), and don't forget, the school must have a valid National School Identification Number (NPSN).

According to the Instagram account @masukptn, participants who meet the administrative requirements have a greater chance of being accepted. Equally important, also prepare an impressive non-academic achievement portfolio, listing your top three achievements, such as awards from competitions or extracurricular activities.

6. What documents are required to register for SNBP?

Important documents that need to be prepared include report cards from semester 1 to 5, a portfolio of outstanding achievements, and data that has been uploaded to PDSS.

7. How can I determine my chances of being accepted into a PTN through SNBP?

The chances of being accepted into your dream study program can be measured through a careful combination of your average report card grades and the level of competition in that major.

8. Is SNBP open to students from different majors?

SNBP provides a golden opportunity for students to explore various study programs, even if they come from different majors in high school.
