Are there right and wrong answers on the AKHLAK test?

Each option carries a different score weight. Options that best reflect the AKHLAK core values score highest, while extreme or self-serving options score low. Your target is consistently choosing high-value responses until your total clears the 65 threshold.

How long should I prepare for the AKHLAK test?

Around 4 to 8 weeks of regular practice. Week one for understanding the 6 values and their behavior guides, the following weeks for timed drills and error-pattern review, then full simulations in the final week.

Is the AKHLAK test the same as the TKP in the civil service exam?

Both use situational questions with weighted options, yet the frameworks differ. The civil service TKP scores against ASN BerAKHLAK values, while the RBB AKHLAK test scores against the 6 SOE core values. TKP practice helps with the format, and the value framework still needs separate study.

What if my AKHLAK score is high but my TKD fails?

RBB eliminates per component: the TKD, AKHLAK, and TWK each have their own thresholds (58, 65, and 50 in RBB 2025). Failing one component means elimination, so all three deserve balanced preparation.

How to Pass the BUMN AKHLAK Test: 90 Questions in 30 Minutes

Passing the BUMN AKHLAK test means answering 90 situational questions through the framework of the 6 SOE core values (Amanah, Kompeten, Harmonis, Loyal, Adaptif, Kolaboratif) at a pace of 20 seconds per question. In RBB 2025 this component carried 50% of Stage 1 with a passing threshold of 65, the largest share of any component.

5 Steps to Prepare for the AKHLAK Test

Effective preparation takes 4 to 8 weeks of regular practice. The order matters: understanding the values comes before drilling questions.

Memorize the 6 values and their behavior guides

Start from the foundation: study the six AKHLAK values until you can recite each one's behavior guides without notes. Each value has three official behavior guides. Amanah, for example, covers fulfilling promises and commitments, taking responsibility for tasks and decisions, and standing firm on moral values and ethics. This understanding becomes the lens you use to read all 90 questions. Without it, you judge answer options by personal standards that may sit far from the test's scoring standard. Write a one-page summary of the 6 values and their 18 behavior guides, then reread it daily through your first week.

Tips

Use the AKHLAK acronym to remember the order: Amanah, Kompeten, Harmonis, Loyal, Adaptif, Kolaboratif
Pin the summary somewhere you see often

Calibrate your viewpoint: answer as the ideal SOE candidate

AKHLAK questions ask how you respond to workplace situations: a colleague makes a mistake, a supervisor assigns sudden work, a team falls into conflict. The key is answering from the viewpoint of an ideal SOE employee who lives all six values, while staying consistent from question to question. Train yourself to ask: which value is this question testing, and which response reflects it best? Avoid two common traps: extreme options (too passive, like staying silent about a problem, or too aggressive, like escalating straight to top management) and options that benefit yourself. High-scoring responses usually combine initiative, healthy communication, and the organization's interest.

Tips

Each question usually tests one or two dominant values, identify the value before choosing
Consistency across answers is read too, keep one character throughout the test

Projecting an exaggerated image that flips direction across similar questions lowers the credibility of your profile.

Drill situational questions on a 20-second timer

Rhythm separates casual practice from real test conditions. With 90 questions in 30 minutes, you average 20 seconds per question: enough to read the situation, identify the value being tested, and choose. That time disappears into reading alone if you are unaccustomed. Start with 30 questions in 10 minutes, then build up to full sets of 90 questions in 30 minutes. Timed practice also trains fast decisions: applicants who linger between two similar options run out of time in the final third, where the remaining questions carry equal weight.

Tips

Skim the question and options by hunting the key verb in each option
When two options feel equal, pick the one with broader organizational impact and move on

Review error patterns, recalibrate your framework

After each practice session, examine your low-scoring answers and look for patterns. Most applicants err in the same value group repeatedly, for instance always picking passive options on Harmonis questions because avoiding conflict feels polite, or picking total obedience on Loyal questions even when the order has an ethics problem. Patterns like these reveal the personal framework that needs recalibrating, and that recalibration is the heart of AKHLAK preparation. Write down your error patterns, phrase each correction in one sentence (for example: Loyal stays within law and ethics), then test it on your next practice set.

Tips

Discuss confusing questions with a mentor or fellow applicant, outside viewpoints speed up calibration

Run full simulations under real test conditions

In the final week before the test, run at least two full simulations: 90 questions, 30 minutes, no pauses, on the device and in the room you will use for the real thing. RBB online tests are taken from home, so technical conditions (connection, device, a quiet room) are part of your performance. Full simulation also trains stamina: the AKHLAK test runs in one sitting alongside the TKD and TWK, and your concentration in the final minutes of that sequence decides outcomes. Track your simulation scores and make sure they hold above 65 before test day, with a safe margin around 75 or higher.

Tips

Simulate at the same hour as your actual test schedule
Prepare a backup internet connection starting from your simulations

Situation	Low-scoring response	High-scoring response
A teammate keeps submitting their part late	Staying silent to keep the mood pleasant	Talking it through kindly, offering help, agreeing on a shared deadline
A supervisor asks you to polish a report so targets look met	Complying fully because it is an order	Presenting the data as it is and proposing an improvement plan
A new work system arrives and feels inconvenient	Sticking with the comfortable old way	Learning the new system first, channeling feedback through proper lines
A great idea for your team's problem comes from another division	Politely declining since it is your team's territory	Inviting them to contribute and sharing credit openly
