For students who are unable to follow UN next week, it has been scheduled for the following tests which will be held on May 12,13,14, and May 16. But the student reason should be obvious, for example, if they are ill, they are required to bring a doctor's note.

“For those who are ill will also be accommodated with a doctor's consent. We will come to the hospital to bring UN script. But if it is not allowed by the doctor, they join in the following tests," Achmad completed.
