Ryan Aditya Moniaga (18), a student of Kolese Kanisius, Menteng Raya Urban Village, Menteng Sub-District, Central Jakarta, Jakarta, achieved the highest score of national exam (unas) in Indonesia. The total value reached 58.05 (from a maximum of 60) or an average of 9.67, which is highest in Indonesia for Science Major.
Here some tips of his learning strategies that stated to all of us:
  • Ryan tells of his hard work in daily study and preparation when facing unas. Ryan every day wakes up around 04.30 to study and prepare to go to school.
  • Ryan's study schedule starts at 7 pm to 11 pm. But, during those four hours, he did not keep learning nonstop. Occasionally he stopped to rest, watch TV, or other activities to keep balance.
  • "The key is by doing a lot of practice exam questions almost every day," he said.
  • In addition to mathematics and physics, in the seconds leading up to the D day, he also boosted four other lessons tested, namely chemistry, biology, Indonesian, and English. The pattern is the same, multiply doing the questions.
  • By conducting tryouts at school many times since November 2013. it is expected that students can be better prepared to do the tested questions.
  • Problems that made material tryout taken from the material unas a few years earlier.   "The problems were then discussed and solved together, especially the hard-difficult," said Ryan who also multiply group learning activities in the days leading up to unas.   "By studying the group, difficult questions become easy because the problem is worked up to meet the answers," he added.
  • What is also held firmly by Ryan as a student is honesty. At school, honesty is the main thing. "(Honesty) has become the school slogan Be honest, be honest," said the student who was waiting for the announcement of SNM graduation PTN (national selection entered public college) in ITB Bandung.
