IUP UGM is a faculty-administered entrance pathway for international undergraduate programs. Reviewed 2026 faculty routes use GMST and AcEPT, with accepted external English scores able to exempt AcEPT in some faculties, followed by faculty-specific selection such as interviews or LGD; Medicine also publishes SJT and MMPI stages. This independent English-language MCQ bank prepares for GMST/AcEPT knowledge and does not simulate listening delivery, composing performance, interviews, discussions, or psychological assessments.

1A retail merchant purchases an imported electronic device for USD 400. She marks up the price by 40% above the cost, then offers a 15% promotional discount on the marked price. What is the net profit on one device?

A.USD 76

B.USD 84

C.USD 100

D.USD 160

Explanation: The marked price is USD 400 * 1.40 = USD 560. Applying the 15% discount gives USD 560 * 0.85 = USD 476, so the profit is USD 476 - USD 400 = USD 76.

2Consider the number sequence: 4, 11, 25, 53, 109, ... Which number correctly replaces the next term in this progression?

A.221

B.218

C.225

D.215

Explanation: The sequence follows the recurrence relation T_n = 2 * T_(n-1) + 3. Specifically: 2(4) + 3 = 11; 2(11) + 3 = 25; 2(25) + 3 = 53; 2(53) + 3 = 109. Therefore, the next term is 2(109) + 3 = 218 + 3 = 221.

3Working alone at a constant rate, automated pump A can drain a water reservoir in 6 hours, while automated pump B can drain the same reservoir in 12 hours. If both pumps operate simultaneously, how many hours will it take to drain the entire reservoir?

A.3.6 hours

B.3.0 hours

C.4.0 hours

D.7.5 hours

Explanation: In one hour, pump A drains 1/6 of the reservoir and pump B drains 1/12. Their combined rate is 1/6 + 1/12 = 1/4 of the reservoir per hour, so the reciprocal gives a total time of 4 hours.

4A chemical solution in a laboratory contains acid and distilled water mixed in the ratio 3:5. If 20 liters of distilled water are added to the solution, the new ratio of acid to water becomes 1:3. What was the initial volume of acid in the solution?

A.12 liters

B.8 liters

C.15 liters

D.24 liters

Explanation: Let the initial volumes be 3x liters of acid and 5x liters of water. Then 3x / (5x + 20) = 1/3, so 9x = 5x + 20 and x = 5. The initial acid volume was therefore 3x = 15 liters.

5If alpha and beta are the real roots of the quadratic equation 3x^2 - 12x + 5 = 0, what is the exact value of (alpha / beta) + (beta / alpha)?

A.38/5

B.34/5

C.44/15

D.14/5

Explanation: By Vieta's formulas, alpha + beta = -(-12)/3 = 4, and alpha * beta = 5/3. The expression (alpha / beta) + (beta / alpha) equals (alpha^2 + beta^2) / (alpha * beta). Since alpha^2 + beta^2 = (alpha + beta)^2 - 2(alpha * beta) = 4^2 - 2(5/3) = 16 - 10/3 = 38/3, dividing by alpha * beta gives (38/3) / (5/3) = 38/5.

6Simplify the radical expression completely: sqrt(48) + sqrt(108) - sqrt(75). Which of the following is equivalent?

A.5 * sqrt(3)

B.7 * sqrt(3)

C.4 * sqrt(3)

D.sqrt(81)

Explanation: Factoring perfect squares out of each radical: sqrt(48) = sqrt(16 * 3) = 4 * sqrt(3); sqrt(108) = sqrt(36 * 3) = 6 * sqrt(3); and sqrt(75) = sqrt(25 * 3) = 5 * sqrt(3). Combining like terms yields (4 + 6 - 5) * sqrt(3) = 5 * sqrt(3).

7In a campus dining hall, 2 meal sets and 3 beverage cartons cost USD 13.50, while 3 meal sets and 2 beverage cartons cost USD 16.50. What is the total cost of 1 meal set and 1 beverage carton?

A.USD 6.00

B.USD 5.50

C.USD 6.50

D.USD 7.00

Explanation: Let m and b be the two prices in USD. Adding 2m + 3b = 13.50 and 3m + 2b = 16.50 gives 5m + 5b = 30, so m + b = USD 6.00.

8A circle is inscribed inside a square whose area is 64 cm^2. What is the exact area of the region inside the square that lies outside the circle?

A.64 - 16*pi cm^2

B.64 - 32*pi cm^2

C.16 - 4*pi cm^2

D.64 - 64*pi cm^2

Explanation: The side length of the square is s = sqrt(64) = 8 cm. A circle inscribed within this square has a diameter equal to the side length (8 cm), meaning its radius is r = 4 cm. The area of the inscribed circle is pi * r^2 = 16*pi cm^2. Subtracting the circle's area from the square's area gives 64 - 16*pi cm^2.

9Consider the sequence: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ... What is the 8th term of this sequence?

A.511

B.255

C.512

D.1023

Explanation: Each term in the sequence can be expressed in the form T_n = 2^(n+1) - 1. For n = 1, T_1 = 2^2 - 1 = 3; for n = 2, T_2 = 2^3 - 1 = 7; for n = 3, T_3 = 2^4 - 1 = 15. For the 8th term (n = 8), T_8 = 2^(8+1) - 1 = 2^9 - 1 = 512 - 1 = 511.

10Train A departs Station X travelling toward Station Y at a constant speed of 60 km/h. Exactly 2 hours later, express Train B departs Station X on a parallel track travelling in the same direction at a constant speed of 90 km/h. How many hours after Train B departs will it overtake Train A?

A.4 hours

B.3 hours

C.5 hours

D.6 hours

Explanation: In the initial 2 hours, Train A covers a distance of 60 km/h * 2 h = 120 km. When Train B departs, the distance between them is 120 km, and Train B gains on Train A at a relative speed of 90 km/h - 60 km/h = 30 km/h. The time required for Train B to close the gap is distance / relative speed = 120 km / 30 km/h = 4 hours.

IUP UGM: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master rapid algebraic and arithmetic calculations without a calculator: focus on estimation techniques, fraction-to-decimal conversions, and quick ratio manipulation.

2Diagram analytical logic puzzles immediately: set up grid matrices or sequence lines on scratch paper to manage relational constraints and seating conditions efficiently.

3Practice abstract spatial rotation and net folding: identify contrasting geometric faces and unique vertex connections to eliminate incorrect rotated shapes quickly.

4Strengthen grammatical structure and error recognition: focus on subject-verb agreement, participle clauses, inverted conditionals, parallel structures, and relative pronoun usage in academic contexts.

5Develop skimming and active reading skills for AcEPT passages: read topic sentences to identify thesis statements and rhetorical organization before answering inferential and vocabulary questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the structure of the IUP UGM entrance examination?

Reviewed faculty routes use GMST and AcEPT in English. Faculty-specific stages differ and can include an interview, LGD, SJT, or MMPI, so applicants must use the notice for their target faculty rather than assume one university-wide sequence.

Can I be exempted from taking the AcEPT test?

Some faculties permit an AcEPT exemption when an applicant submits an accepted external English score. The accepted tests and minimum scores are faculty-specific and must be checked in the current faculty notice.

What faculty-specific stages are required beyond the written CBT?

Stage 2 selection varies by faculty: the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) requires an interview and Leaderless Group Discussion (LGD); the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing (FK-KMK) mandates an interview, Situational Judgement Test (SJT), and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI); FISIPOL incorporates an essay and interview; and Geography includes an interview and presentation.

Does this practice bank simulate the interview or psychological tests?

No. This independent study bank is dedicated exclusively to the written multiple-choice components: the Gadjah Mada Scholastic Test (GMST) and Academic English Proficiency Test (AcEPT). It does not simulate or replace oral interviews, Leaderless Group Discussions, or psychological/psychiatric evaluations (MMPI/SJT).

Who is eligible to apply for IUP UGM in 2026?

Eligible candidates are high school graduates from 2024, 2025, and 2026 holding an Indonesian SMA/MA/SMK diploma or recognized international secondary school qualifications (such as Cambridge A-Levels, International Baccalaureate Diploma, or equivalent national curricula).
