Participate in the National Level Chemistry Competition for SMA/SMK/Equivalent | Mengikuti Lomba Kimia Tingkat Nasional Jenjang SMA/SMK/ Sederajat
Three weeks ago, CV Project Inter Kreasi held a chemistry competition event, Insight Chemistry Competition I, at the National Level for SMA/SMK/Equivalent. When the post on the official account passed on my social media homepage, I was immediately attracted to "try to join the event". From there, I looked for information about registration and the flow of the competition. At that time, the preparation from the beginning of registering until the D day of the match was about one week because, at that time, I knew the information a week after the event opened.
Tepat di tiga minggu kemarin, CV Project Inter Kreasi membuat event lomba kimia yaitu Insight Chemistry Competition I Tingkat Nasional Jenjang SMA/SMK/Sederajat. Waktu postingan di akun resminya itu lewat di beranda media sosial saya, saya langsung tertarik "coba ah ikut eventnya". Dari situ saya langsung mencari info mengenai pendaftaran dan alur lombanya. Waktu itu persiapan dari awal mendaftar sampai hari H lombanya sekitar 1 minggu, karena pada saat itu saya tau informasinya di seminggu setelah eventnya dibuka.?
After knowing the grid of the questions during the exam, I immediately made an adequate study flow because I knew the preparation was only one week. The lattice is similar to what I learned in Vocational High School, especially the Analytical Chemistry major. The primary lessons of chemistry are taught in class X and class XI.
Setelah mengetahui kisi-kisi tentang soal yang akan keluar pada saat ujian saya langsung membuat alur belajar saya yang efektif, karena saya tau persiapannya hanya 1 minggu. Kisi-kisinya pun tidak jauh beda dengan yang saya pelajari selama di SMK khususnya jurusan Kimia Analisis, pelajaran dasar tersebut diajarkan waktu di kelas X dan kelas XI.
At first, I was hesitant when registering because I knew that most applicants were from the high school level. Therefore, to make me believe "maybe it doesn't hurt to take part in the competition from the SMK level" because, in my opinion, maybe in terms of theory, most of the ideas at the high school level are more detailed, while at the SMK level, especially in Analytical Chemistry, it's more of an analytical practicum.
Awalnya sempat ragu-ragu saat mendaftarnya, karena saya tau pasti kebanyakan rata-rata pendaftarnya dari jenjang SMA. Maka dari itu untuk membuat saya yakin "mungkin ga ada salahnya untuk mengikuti lomba tersebut dari jenjang SMK", karena menurut saya mungkin dari segi teori kebanyakan pada jenjang SMA teorinya lebih mendetail, sedangkan pada jenjang SMK khususnya di Kimia Analisis lebih kepada praktikum analisisnya.?
Long story short, all the preparations were ready. On D-day, it turned out that the question/competition server had an error when entering the username and password. Errors/errors are sudden, and the committee, who has carefully designed the concept of the race flow, still has errors. And I also experienced that when designing the idea for an event at school during the student council first.
Singkat cerita, segala persiapan pun sudah siap. Di hari H nya ternyata pada server soal/lombanya mengalami error di bagian awal masuk username dan password. Kesalahan/error itu sifatnya tiba-tiba, panitia yang sudah dengan matang merancang konsep alur lombanya pun masih terdapat error. Dan saya pun pernah mengalami hal itu saat merancang konsep untuk event di sekolah waktu OSIS dulu.
Finally, 15 minutes later, the server was usable. The test time given is 1 hour, and because there was an error of 15 minutes, it took 45 minutes to work on 40 questions. Immediately after working on the problem, I can't wait to know what the results will be.
Akhirnya 15 menit kemudian, server bisa digunakan. Waktu ujian yang diberikan yaitu 1 jam, dan karena ada error 15 menit jadi 45 menit mengerjakan dalam 40 soal. Langsung saja, setelah mengerjakan soal tersebut, tidak sabar buat mau tau gimana hasilnya.
The notification from the competition organizer's account finally appeared. Without waiting anymore, I immediately clicked on the certificate's name, ranking, score, and result. When I saw it thank God, I was ranked 15th (20th) out of 379 participants at the National High School and Vocational Level. I didn't expect it to be rich, "it turns out that you can take the SMK level to take part in the competition, yes, it's a risk to compete with the high school level", even though I haven't had the luck to become the 1st place winner. From there, thank God, my confidence has increased. But remember, don't be easily satisfied with today's results. Keep the spirit and try for the future.

Notifikasi dari akun penyelenggara lomba akhirnya muncul, tanpa menunggu lagi saya langsung mengklik nama, peringkat, perolehan nilai, dan hasil sertifikatnya. Pas dilihat ternyata alhamdulillah saya ada di peringkat 15 (20 besar) dari 379 peserta jenjang SMA dan SMK tingkat Nasional. Sempat ga nyangka juga kaya "ternyata bisa loh jenjang SMK buat ikut lomba, ya memang resikonya bersaing dengan jenjang SMA", ya walaupun belum rezekinya buat jadi juara 1. Dari situ alhamdulillah rasa percaya diri meningkat. Tapi ingat jangan gampang puas dengan hasil hari ini, tetap semangat dan berusaha untuk ke depannya.?
After knowing about the rankings, I was curious "is there any participating SMK levels other than SMK Negeri 5 Bekasi City?" it turns out there are. Vocational levels that participated were from the Chemical Analysis Vocational School and SMK AK YKPI Bogor, SMKN 7 Bandung, and other SMKs who followed. For the complete score results, you can also access the link below.
Setelah tau tentang peringkatnya, saya pun penasaran "ada ga sih jenjang SMK yang berpartisipasi selain dari SMK Negeri 5 Kota Bekasi?" dan ternyata ada. Jenjang SMK yang ikut itu ada dari SMK Kimia Analisis juga dari SMK AK YKPI Bogor; SMKN 7 Bandung; dan dari SMK lain yang mengikuti.
You can also access the complete score at the link below.

Participating in competitions is a way to improve our learning, gain experience, expand practice questions about the material, and much more. That's all I can tell you. I also participated in a chemistry competition in 2021, to be exact, in March too and got a silver medal too (maybe I'll tell you about it in the following article). Thank you for listening to the story that I have shared. I hope it is helpful.
Mengikuti lomba merupakan cara untuk meningkatkan cara belajar kita, mencari pengalaman, memperluas latihan soal tentang materi, dan masih banyak lagi. Mungkin cuma itu saja yang bisa saya ceritakan, saya juga pernah mengikuti lomba kimia di tahun 2021 tepatnya di bulan maret juga dan mendapat mendali perak juga (mungkin saya akan cerita di next artikel). Terimakasih buat sudah menyimak cerita yang sudah saya share, semoga bermanfaat.
