Ruangguru’s Application Launched Various Features and New Look

Jakarta, 21st February 2019. The 2019 SBMPTN admission system will experience various changes from the previous years. This year, participants must first take the UTBK (Computer Based Writing Test), the scores obtained can then be used to register to the intended university and study program. Prospective students can take at least a maximum of 2 tests a year. Meanwhile, the types of questions in the 2019 SBMPTN will be similar to the 2019 National Exam which uses HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) questions or questions with high analytical skills.

In an effort to help students face the 2019 National Exam and SBMPTN, Ruangguru has prepared various content material in ruangbelajar such as the SBMPTN practice questions and video discussion from 2014–2018. Not only that, but there is also going to be a prediction of the 2019 SBMPTN UTBK questions that every Ruangguru user can take part in a free Online Tryout to face the 2019 National Exams and SBMPTN. Since it was first launched in 2017, ruangbelajar products, which is an application-based online learning with animated learning videos, practice questions, and infographic-based summaries have become student’s favorite platforms that have been used by more than 10 million users.

Therefore, to increase user comfort in the learning process, Ruangguru’s application undergoes a massive revamp that offers a new look that is fresher. The first change is, users can now directly access ruangbelajar on the main page by selecting the desired class, curriculum, and subjects. Animated learning videos in ruangbelajar can now be downloaded to an SD (Secure Digital) card so users can watch videos without spending their internet quota anymore.

Users can now use ruangbelajar on PCs and laptops through ruangbelajar for desktops that can be accessed in Windows and MacOS so learning can be more comfortable in larger screens.

Aside from the new appearance, the Ruangguru application is also equipped with various new features, one of which is roboguru, a robot that can answer the National Exam and SBMPTN practice questions. Users can send questions that are difficult in the form of photos, then roboguru will show five similar questions and the answers that are the most relevant to the question. This feature can be used by all Ruangguru application users.

“In the past, if you want to take an exam, practice question training is usually one of the most compulsory preparation components. Ruangguru wants to simplify this activity by launching roboguru. Students can just take a picture of the National Examination & SBMPTN practice questions, later roboguru will automatically bring up the answer in just a few seconds. In addition, other questions that are similar to the type of questions photographed by students will also be displayed. With the system, we hope that student learning can be more practical. This service can also be experienced for FREE now,” said Iman Usman, CPO, and co-founder of Ruangguru.

The Ruangguru team has also prepared various analyses on topics and patterns of questions that often appear in SBMPTN for the past 10 years, for example in Basic Mathematics, the topic of arithmetic and geometric sequences always come up every year and appeared 3 times more than that topic of Exponents. Analysis like this can be accessed in the ruangbaca platform in the Ruangguru application.

CEO and co-founder of Ruangguru, Belva Devara said “We are very happy with the achievements we have achieved this year. We have grown more than 20 times in the past 6 months.
