Hansel and Grethel

Once upon a time there dwelt near a large wood a poor wood cutter, with his wife, and two children by his former marriage, a little boy called Hansel, and a girl named Grethel. He had little enough to break or bite; and once, when there was a great famine in the land, he could hardly procure even his daily bread; and as he lay thinking in his bed one night, he sighed, and said to his wife, “What will become of us? How can we feed our children, when we have no more than we can eat ourselves?”

Passing Grade SBMPTN 2016

Passing grade adalah suatu ukuran standar yang didapat dari perhitungan sederhana terhadap hasil ujian SBMPTN yang menggambarkan kira-kira seorang peserta dapat mencukupi dalam urutan peringkat kuota penerimaan jurusan yang dipilihnya tersebut. Secara umum, nilai passing grade tidak dapat ditentukan secara pasti karena bergantung pada kuota (daya tampung) dan banyaknya peminat pada pilihan tersebut pada tahun itu. Nilai passing grade biasanya ditentukan berdasarkan nilai rata-rata dari hasil test pada tahun sebelumnya. Maka, nilai passing grade tersebut nilainya tiap tahun fluktuatif, bisa naik turun. Akan tetapi rumusnya sama. Semakin favorit PTN dan jurusan tersebut, maka passing gradenya semakin besar dan tentu persaingan untuk masuk juga akan berat.
