Secrets to Success in the CPNS 2024 SKB: Complete Guide and Essential Tips for Candidates!

Kapanlagi.com - The selection for Civil Servant Candidates (CPNS) 2024 has now entered a very crucial phase for participants who have successfully passed the Basic Competency Selection (SKD). For those who qualify, the next challenge is the Field Competency Selection (SKB), which will be the final determinant in their journey towards civil servant status.

The schedule for the announcement of SKD graduation results has been set for November 17-19, 2024, in accordance with the official letter from the Acting Head of the National Civil Service Agency Number 5419/B-KS.04.01/SD/K/2024.

This stage is very critical, as only participants who meet the requirements—namely passing the SKD, being within three times the number of available positions, and achieving the passing score—will proceed to the SKB.

For participants, understanding the SKB guidelines is extremely important. With thorough preparation, they are expected to face the next challenges with confidence and achieve their dream of becoming civil servants.

1. Announcement of the Schedule and Stages of SKB

Prepare yourself! The Field Competency Selection (SKB) for prospective civil servants (CPNS) 2024 will be held from November 20 to December 17, 2024. The Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenpanRB) emphasizes that this SKB aims to measure the abilities and potential of participants according to the positions applied for.

Only participants who successfully pass the Basic Competency Selection (SKD) will proceed to the SKB, which will be conducted using various methods. "Thorough preparation is very important, as it is the key to achieving the dream of becoming a CPNS," said an official from the National Civil Service Agency (BKN).

2. SKB Guidelines for Specific Positions

The material for the Field Competency Selection (SKB) varies according to the type of position applied for.

For example, for those targeting positions as Computer Analysts, Informatics, or Instructors, the test will consist of two main components: a Computer Assisted Test (CAT) weighted at 75%, and a practical work test weighted at 25%, where participants will be assessed through tasks such as application development and data management.

Meanwhile, applicants for other positions that also require SKB based 100% on CAT will follow materials specifically designed by the supervising agency and integrated into the question bank of the National Civil Service Agency (BKN).

3. Form of Additional SKB and Its Assessment

Central and regional agencies have their own policies in the implementation of the Additional Field Competency Selection (SKB), with significant differences in the weighting of assessments.

At the central level, the additional SKB can contribute up to 50% of the total SKB score, while the interview test only plays a maximum role of 10%. This means that for participants who undergo interviews at central agencies, they can only expect a weight of 10% in the final score.

In contrast, at regional agencies, the weight of the main SKB using the Computer Assisted Test (CAT) is set at a minimum of 60%, highlighting the importance of this exam in determining graduation.

4. Types of SKB Tests to Study

To prepare for the tests, participants need to explore the various types of exams they will face, ranging from psychological tests and academic potential tests to health and physical fitness tests.

Not only that, they must also be ready for practical work tests, gain additional points from competency certification, and face interview sessions.

All of these test sequences are designed to ensure that each participant has the competencies that meet the requirements of the desired position.

5. Preparation Strategy Towards SKB

Careful preparation is the key to success for participants facing the SKB, where studying various questions and maintaining physical and mental health is highly recommended.

A CPNS career expert emphasizes, "Optimal physical condition allows participants to stay focused throughout the test."

In addition, studying the guidelines provided by KemenpanRB and seeking additional references will provide richer insights, enabling participants to perform at their best in the exam that determines their future.
