PSEE Exam: My Honest Experience

Photobucket

Hey readers! 

Recently, I received an email from SPA9 about the online exam – Penilaian Memasuki Perkhidmatan Awam (PSEE) – Ujian Penilaian Psikometrik for the position of PEMBANTU TADBIR (PERKERANIAN/OPERASI) GRED N1 (SEMENANJUNG) under the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam and Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. And today was the day of the exam!

Honestly, this isn’t my first time taking the PSEE. Previously, I had the chance to sit for exams for KASTAM and PENOLONG PEGAWAI PEMBANGUNAN MASYARAKAT GRED. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to move to the next stage because my score didn’t meet the expected benchmark for those positions.

So when I got another chance to take the PSEE, I decided to look for tips to improve my approach. Some people said it’s important to be consistent, honest, and fast when answering. Some said to be yourself, and some also shared tips by saying you need to be fake for some certain things when answering, but the key is consistency.

That’s exactly what I did last time - be myself, honest, and fast - but I still didn’t pass, which left me a bit confused, especially the consistency part.

This time, I knew I needed a different approach. So I tried asking ChatGPT for help, and it gave me a mock exam. I practiced repeatedly, focusing on the areas where I needed to be more consistent. Slowly, I started to understand the patterns and the types of questions. Even my mock scores were quite high, which gave me a bit of confidence heading into the real exam.

When the exam started… boom! My first thought: “What the hell?” 

The questions were nothing like the mock. Instead of “Strongly Agree – Strongly Disagree,” it was “This is very me – This is not very me," which is still understandable to find the keyword. But some of the question were tricky like this:

“Saya merasa seronok melihat galeri” “Saya merasakan diri saya sebagai popular” “Saya akan bermeditasi atau berdoa”

Tricky, right? There’s no right or wrong answer - it’s all about your social tendencies and lifestyle. Suddenly, all my mock prep felt a bit… scammed. 😅

Nevertheless, I did my best to answer every question carefully. I hope my answers fit the expectations for this category. Since I’ve failed before, I’m not putting my hopes too high - but if I get to the next stage, Alhamdulilah. If not, I’m still grateful for the opportunity.

I’ll update again once I receive the results!
