A.Stethoscope : Physician

B.Microscope : Chemist

C.Scalpel : Anesthesiologist

A.Ambiguity

B.Vagueness

C.Solitude

D.Prominence

Explanation: Apathy (a state of indifference or lack of emotion) is an antonym of enthusiasm (passionate interest or zeal). Obscurity (the condition of being unknown, inconspicuous, or unnoticed) has as its direct antonym prominence (fame, distinction, or high visibility).

5SEED : SPROUT :: EMBRYO :

A.Zygote

B.Fetus

A.Ephemeral

B.Fleeting

C.Volatile

Explanation: Inchoate (just begun, rudimentary, or not fully developed) is antonymous to mature (fully formed and developed). In the same antonymic pattern, transient (lasting only for a brief interval) is paired with permanent (everlasting or continuous).

9PENICILLIN : BACTERIA :: ANTIFUNGAL :

A.Virus

B.Mycosis

C.Protozoa

D.Helminth

Explanation: Penicillin is an antibiotic agent specifically formulated to treat infections caused by bacteria. In parallel, an antifungal medication is an antimicrobial agent targeted at eradicating fungi and treating fungal diseases (mycosis).

10PROTRACTOR : ANGLE :: SEISMOGRAPH :

A.Atmospheric precipitation

B.Oceanic salinity

C.Ground motion

D.Tectonic elevation

Explanation: A protractor measures an angle. In the same instrument-to-measurement relationship, a seismograph records ground motion as a function of time; earthquake intensity is instead a descriptive measure of observed effects at a location.

SMUA UNAIR: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master foundational TPA logic and series: Practice verbal analogies, conditional deductions (modus ponens and modus tollens), and numerical pattern sequences to maximize your baseline score.

2Work through complete quantitative derivations: For Saintek math and physics, solve problems with explicit unit conversions and formula derivations rather than relying on rough estimates.

3Review core chemical and biological mechanisms: Ensure thorough familiarity with stoichiometry, equilibrium constants, redox reactions, cellular energetics, and Mendelian inheritance ratios.

4Understand economic models and sociological concepts: For Soshum topics, focus on elasticity graphs, macroeconomic policy impacts, social stratification theories, and historical turning points in Indonesian independence.

5Simulate computer-based testing conditions: Practice answering multiple-choice items under strict timed conditions to build test stamina for multi-subtest CBT sittings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SMUA UNAIR and what tracks are available in 2026?

SMUA (Seleksi Mandiri Universitas Airlangga) is UNAIR's independent admissions pathway. In 2026, it comprises four distinct tracks: Mandiri Prestasi (achievement and portfolio-based), Mandiri UTBK Plus (combining national UTBK scores with a UNAIR program-specific subject CBT), Mandiri Ujian Tulis (UNAIR's institutional computer-based examination comprising TPA and program-specific TKA), and Mandiri Kemitraan (partnership track utilizing the written examination score).

What subjects are tested on the SMUA Mandiri Ujian Tulis?

Mandiri Ujian Tulis tests common Tes Potensi Akademik (TPA: verbal analogies, logical syllogisms, numerical series, and spatial reasoning) along with program-specific Kemampuan Akademik (TKA) subjects. Depending on whether you apply to Saintek (natural sciences/engineering/medicine) or Soshum (social sciences/humanities) programs, your TKA tests will cover high school mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, or economics, sociology, history, and geography.

How does Mandiri UTBK Plus differ from Mandiri Ujian Tulis?

Mandiri UTBK Plus allows applicants to utilize their standardized national UTBK (SNBT) scores for the general scholastic component, requiring them to sit only for UNAIR's program-specific Kemampuan Akademik (TKA) CBT. Mandiri Ujian Tulis, in contrast, requires applicants to take both the TPA and TKA directly through UNAIR's own testing system.

Are there special health or physical requirements for UNAIR programs?

Requirements vary by chosen program. Applicants must use the current PPMB program information for any health, color-vision, or skills conditions; MCQ practice cannot substitute for those checks.

How much is the SMUA UNAIR registration fee?

The current Sarjana application procedure lists Rp 300.000 for one program choice or Rp 750.000 for two choices. Applicants should verify the amount and payment channel in the active registration form for their route.
