Apa yang diujikan?
Sesi kedua, disebut juga sebagai sesi grammar, menguji kecakapan Anda terhadap standar
formal aturan penulisan/grammar bahasa Inggris. Banyak aturan dapat berterima dalam
percakapan (spoken) tapi tidak dalam penulisan (written). Anda harus menggunakan cara yang
paling ekonomis (hemat waktu) dan matang (dengan baik) dan strategi yang terbaik dalam
menjawab semua soal dalam sesi ini.

Skill apa yang harus Anda persiapkan?

Anda harus betul-betul mengetahui aturan grammar yang benar dengan baik agar Anda dapat
dengan cepat mengetahui jawaban mana yang tidak sesuai dengan grammar yang formal.

Pendekatan apa yang harus Anda gunakan untuk menjawab soal

Part A - Structure?
- Ketahuilah bahwa petunjuk soal meminta Anda mengenali standar penulisan bahasa Inggris
yang formal.
- Ketahuilah bahwa Anda akan memilih satu jawaban yang paling benar untuk melengkapi
jawaban. Boleh saja diantara beberapa jawaban bisa melengkapi kalimat tapi hanya ada satu
yang paling benar.

Untuk pertanyaan Part A, Anda harus:

1. Membaca semua kalimat, dan mencoba memasukkan pilihan jawaban yang tersedia. Misal
masukkan terlebih dahulu pilihan jawaban A.
2. Jika jawaban A tidak benar, cobalah untuk memikirkan kenapa tidak benar.
3. Jika Anda sudah mengetahui kenapa jawaban A salah maka silahkan lanjut ke pilihan B, C,
dan D.
4. Jika masih saja tidak yakin, cobalah untuk mengingat rumus dari kalimat tersebut.
5. Jika Anda tidak bisa mendapatkan jawaban yang paling benar, eliminasilah terlebih dahulu
jawaban-jawaban yang jelas salah dan cobalah untuk menebak.
Contoh:
During the Daytona 500, the lead car ___________, leaving the others far behind.
A. forwarded rapidly
B. advanced rapidly
C. advanced forward rapidly
D. advanced in a rapidly manner
Analisa soal: Hal yang pertama Anda lakukan yaitu mencoba memasukkan jawaban A pada
soal. Anda dapat mengetahui bahwa jawaban A salah karena kalimat soal membutuhkan kata
kerja sementara jawaban A tidak memiliki kata kerja. Jika Anda yakin bahwa kata
kerja advanced pada jawaban B sudah sesuai untuk mengisi kalimat di atas maka Anda tidak
perlu lagi ke pilihan C dan D. Tapi jika anda kurang yakin Anda boleh lanjut ke pilhan C. Anda
melihat bahwa jawaban C berlebih-lebihan karena terdapat dua kata yang mepunyai makna
sama. Advance telah bermakna move forward (maju). Sementara jawaban D
kata rapidly (adverb) sebelum manner (noun) harusnya rapid (adjective) untuk membentuk

suatu phrase (gabungan kata) yang benar. Ingat rumus (Adjective + Noun) bukan (Adverb +
Noun).

Pendekatan apa yang harus Anda gunakan untuk menjawab soal

Part B - Written Expression?
- Lagi, ingatlah bahwa Anda sedang mencari penulisan bahasa Inggris yang benar.
- Ingatlah bahwa Anda sedang mencari kata atau frasa (gabungan kata) yang salah, yang mesti
diubah agar kalimat menjadi benar.

Untuk pertanyaan Part B, Anda harus:

1. Membaca seluruh kalimat soal.
2. Jika Anda tidak menemukan jawaban yang salah dengan cepat. Maka ingatlah rumus-rumus
yang Anda telah pelajari dan pastikanlah pilihan-pilihan jawaban yang benar.
Contoh Soal I:
In the united states, there are much holidays throughout the year.
A

Analisa jawaban: Ketika Anda membaca kalimat secara keseluruhan Anda dapat mengetahui
dengan cepat bahwa much tidak sesuai dengan kata holidays. Much menandakan uncountable
noun (benda tak bisa dihitung) sementara holidays dengan jelas merupakan kata benda yang
bisa dihitung (countable noun).
Contoh Soal II:
Tomatoes grows all year long in Florida
A

B C

Analisa jawaban: Jika Anda menjawab dengan terburu-buru, hanya dengan melihat pilihan
jawaban Anda bisa sja terkecoh dan memilih jawaban A dengan asumsi bahwa tomatoes
(plural/jamak) harusnya tomato (singular/tunggal) karena kata kerja grows berbentuk tunggal.
Tapi jika Anda membaca seluruh kalimat Anda akan mendapati bahwa konteks kalimat tidak
mendiskusikan tentang satu tomat. Olehnya jawaban yang Anda pilih yaitu jawaban
B. Grows seharusnya grow.

22. B - previously --> known berbentuk sebagai adjective. (Adv + Adj).
23. C - used --> have been + VIII
24. D - their --> their merujuk ke patients
25. A - imported --> has + VIII
26. C - the --> in the U.S. Army
27. C- their --> their + Noun. Thiers + Noun
28. D - amount --> heat menandakan uncountable noun. Amount (untuk uncountable noun) dan
number (untuk countable noun)
29. C - and --> (both + and)
30. B - was designed by --> butuh kata kerja (was)
31. B - short courses --> (Adjective + Noun) bukan (Noun + Adjective)
32. D - moved --> terdapat tahun di kalimat. Maka perlu kata kerja simple past (moved) bukan
has moved (past perfect)
33. A -actor --> kalimat bermaksud pelakunya (actor)
34. C - live --> alive terletak dibelakang kalimat. Live (adjective) + Noun
35. C - result of --> result + of (berpasangan)

36. B - the project --> on the project (frasa yang sudah umum)
37. B - profitable --> costly (adjective) --> profitable (adjective). Harus paralel. Profitably
(adverb)
38. D - been mined --> have been + VIII
39. C - other --> other + noun. Others + Noun
40. B - making --> pelajari perbedaan do dan make
Peluang Kris mendapat nilai A (dari nilai-nilai yang dapat diraih A, B, C, D atau E) untuk
Matematika adalah 0,6 dan untuk bahasa Inggris 0,7 . Berapakah peluang Kris hanya
mendapatkan satu A ? (dari Test masuk UI 2010 (kode 308))
Jawab:
P (Matematika dan Bahasa) = 0,60 x 0,70 = 0,42
P (Matematika saja) = 0,60 0,42 = 0,18
P (Bahasa saja) = 0,70 0,42 = 0,28
P (Matematika saja ATAU Bahasa saja) = 0,18 + 0,28 = 0,46 (Selesai).
Catatan:
Soal semacam ini jarang ditemui oleh anak-anak SMA. Para siswa lebih takut lagi karena sistem
nilai menggunakan A, B, C, D, E. Sementara anak-anak SMA sering mengenal nilai dengan
bilangan dari 1 sampai dengan 100. Padahal sistem nilai di atas tidak berpengaruh ke inti
masalah. Lengkap sudah soal di atas menguji nyali anak-anak SMA.
Soal di atas juga menguji kemampuan anak-anak memahami konsep peluang sekaligus
menghubungkannya dengan konsep himpunan (lebih bagus lagi dengan konsep logika).
Paman APIQ mengusulkan agar kita memanfaatkan diagram Venn untuk memahami permasalah
di atas. Kemudian menguji berbagai macam pertanyaan yang mungkin.
Dengan membayangkan diagram Venn,
himpunan M = P (Matematika) = 0,60
himpunan B = P (Bahasa) = 0,70
himpunan irisan M dan B = P (Matematika) x P (Bahasa) = 0,60 x 0,70 = 0,42
Berapakah peluang Kris hanya mendapatkan satu A?
Hanya mendapatkan satu A maksudnya adalah matematika dapat A dan bahasa inggris tidak atau
bahasa inggris dapat A dan matematika tidak.
Masih dengan memanfaatkan diagram Venn biasa,
P (matematika saja) = P (matematika) P (irisan M dan B) = 0,60 0,42 = 0,18
P (bahasa saja) = P (bahasa) P (irisan M dan B) = 0,70 0,42 = 0,28
Jadi, peluang hanya mendapatkan satu A =
P (matematika saja) atau P (bahasa saja) = 0,18 + 0,28 = 0,46 (Selesai).

Setelah berlatih beberapa kali dan mengamati diagram Venn maka kita juga dapat menghitung
langsung,
Peluang hanya mendapat satu A = P (matematika) + P (bahasa) 2 [P (matematika) x P
(bahasa)]
= 0,60 + 0,70 2.(0,60)(0,70)
= 1,30 2.(0,42)
= 1,30 0,84
= 0,46 (Selesai).
Mari berlatih dengan beberapa pertanyaan lain sesuai saran Paman APIQ.
a. Berapakah peluang mendapat nilai A dua-duanya?
Jawab: P (matematika) x P (bahasa) = 0,60 x 0,70 = 0,42
b. Berapakah peluang mendapat nilai A setidaknya satu?
Jawab: P (matematika) + P (bahasa) P (matematika) x P (bahasa) = 0,60 + 0,70 0,42 = 0,88
c. Berapakah peluang tidak mendapat nilai A sama sekali?
Jawab: 1,00 P (nilai A setidaknya satu) = 1,00 0,88 = 0,12
Bagaimana menurut Anda?
