In line with Adi, one of the PGRI 1 Mejobo Kudus Vocational Schools, Artika Fatmawati, said that the interest and aptitude tests that UMM conducted were perfect. This enlightens her and her friends, who still need clarification about its potential.

“The test results that came out were in perfect agreement with me. I am also happy because the major I want is in one of the professional recommendations I got from the test. Besides that, the UMM stand is also interesting because various games use the latest technology, such as Metaverse, so it's not just distributing flyers," she said. (cdr/syi/wil)
