Abstract
Universitas Terbuka (UT) in Indonesia has thousands of students with a wide-range of diversity in terms of background, age, place of living, lifestyle, etc. These differences influence the student way or condition in facing their final examination. In UT system, the most frequent test being applied for administering final examination is objective test. The answers for objective test need to be written on a special examination sheet that is readable by computer system. The students are required to fill their identity details manually, and darken the circle available on the sheet by using special pencil. This process has to be done properly and supported by related documents such as: student examination list, student identity card, student examination card, registration decision, and UT invoice receipt. Any technical mistake in filling up the form or incomplete identity detail on the sheet would result in failure of issuing student’s final examination result. The huge number of failures, as happened in 2008-2009, became quite prominent cases faced by UT and the students. The failure of issuing this examination result would further affect students’ motivation or willingness to complete their study at UT. This paper will describe the number and the type of students’ mistakes in filling up their identities on the examination sheet. Moreover, the reason of why they did their mistakes will also be reviewed. Several efforts to minimize the students’ mistakes in order to maintain UT’s credibility in the future will be given at the end of this paper.
