CBT Exam Laptop Rental — PPDB, BNSP, Campus Tests, and CPNS

CBT exam laptop rental from Arental (PT Amanah Sewa Nanjaya, NIB 0220106601498, KBLI 77394, operating since 2021) means packages of 100–500 units with the lockdown browser pre-installed (Safe Exam Browser, the BNSP/LSP certification browser, the BKN CAT system), a venue site survey, and a 4% spare pool kept on-site. CBT (Computer-Based Test) organisers in Indonesia typically need large volumes inside a short window: junior/senior-high PPDB admissions during the new-school-year season, recurring BNSP/LSP certification, end-of-semester campus exams, and multi-location CPNS civil-service tests. Arental supplies rental packages of 100-500 units with the lockdown browser pre-installed, a venue site survey, invigilator training, and a handover certificate (BAST) per session.

CBT Use Cases

CBT Laptop Rental Scenarios We Serve Most Often

Typical volume, duration, and invigilation profile per exam type. Use it to benchmark your own exam-team planning.

Online PPDB (Junior/Senior High Admissions)

Volume of 100-300 units per school/zone, a 3-7 day exam window, multiple sessions per day. Light lockdown (the browser issued by the regional Education Office). Invigilators are schoolteachers, so a briefing is mandatory because they are not IT specialists. Peak season: May-June every year, with planning starting in February.

BNSP / LSP Certification

Volume of 50-150 units per wave, exam duration of 2-4 hours per session, a full day per certification body (LSP). A dedicated LSP lockdown browser (it varies by body). Invigilators are BNSP assessors — familiar with technical SOPs but still needing a briefing on the Arental platform.

Mid-/End-of-Semester Campus Exams

Volume of 200-500+ units for large public/private universities, lasting 1-2 weeks across all faculties. Lockdown via Moodle Safe Exam Browser or an internal LMS platform. The main challenge: overlapping exam schedules per study program — requiring you to plan unit shifts between buildings within a single day.

Multi-Location CPNS / PPPK Tests

Volume of 100-300 units per venue × 5-15 venues across Indonesia. Strict BKN lockdown (the CAT system). Video proctoring + audio recording. Multi-day sessions (2-5 days per wave). Requires on-site technicians per venue + a remote war-room for real-time monitoring.

Professional Certification (PMI, OJK, Bappebti)

Volume of 30-100 units per session, 3-4 hours long, a few times a year. Enterprise-level lockdown (PMP, CFA Indonesia, the OJK WMI/WPPE securities licences, the Bappebti broker licence). Invigilators are senior professional assessors. Reputational stakes are high — tolerance for technical disruption is near zero.

Corporate Assessment Centres

Volume of 20-80 units for mass recruitment at state-owned enterprises (BUMN) and multinationals. Lockdown via an assessment platform (Mercer Mettl, Talview, Hogan, or the client’s own HR app). 1-2 days per wave, usually on weekends. Same spec as the base tier, but a good-quality front camera is needed for video proctoring.

ANBK & Teacher Certification (PPG) Support

Two recurring public-sector CBT needs with strict device and invigilation requirements — schools running the National Assessment, and LPTKs running teacher certification exams.

ANBK (National Computer-Based Assessment)

ANBK is Indonesia's Ministry of Education annual program for primary, junior, and senior secondary schools, measuring literacy, numeracy, character, and learning-environment factors through a sampled group of students at each school.

A proctor and a technician must be present at every session per the official ANBK procedure — schools without enough devices can piggyback ('menumpang') onto another host school.
Devices follow the minimum spec the Ministry sets for the ANBK ExamBrowser — both laptops and Chromebooks are allowed as long as they comply.
The assessment runs in two waves each school year: senior/vocational high school first, then primary/junior high, with a rehearsal session before exam day.

How Arental helps: For schools short on compliant devices, Arental supports the piggyback mode: units pre-imaged with the ANBK ExamBrowser, technicians on standby to assist the school's proctor on exam day, and fast replacement if a device fails to boot mid-session.

PPG / Teacher Certification

PPG (Teacher Professional Education) — both the pre-service and in-service tracks — is run by LPTKs (teacher-training universities) appointed by the Ministry of Education/Religious Affairs to award a teaching certificate. One of its stages, the Knowledge Test (Uji Pengetahuan), is administered online/CBT simultaneously in nationwide waves.

Participant volume per wave can reach thousands of teachers, spread across partner LPTK campuses in multiple cities.
The online exam needs a stable internet connection plus a device compliant with the official Ministry exam platform.
LPTKs whose in-house devices fall short for a large wave typically rent extra units for the exam period.

How Arental helps: For LPTKs renting extra units, Arental prepares laptops with a lockdown profile matched to the PPG exam platform, technicians on standby throughout the session, and a per-session/wave handover certificate (BAST) — the same pattern used for the other CBT packages on this page.

Minimum CBT Laptop Spec That Is Safe for Exams

The spec below is proven across hundreds of exam sessions — the minimum components that guarantee the exam application runs stably without lag, the battery survives a full session, and video proctoring does not throttle the CPU.

Component	Minimum	Recommended (Video Proctoring)
Processor	Intel Core i3 10th Gen / Ryzen 3 5300U	Intel Core i5 11th Gen+ / Ryzen 5 5500U
RAM	8 GB DDR4	8-16 GB DDR4
Storage	256 GB SSD	256-512 GB SSD
Display	14-inch HD (1366×768) anti-glare	14-inch FHD (1920×1080) anti-glare
Battery	6 hours, SoH ≥80%	6-8 hours, SoH ≥85%
Camera	HD 720p (for login + ID verification)	HD 720p + privacy shutter
Connectivity	Wi-Fi 5, RJ45 Ethernet	Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet
OS	Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (lockdown profile)	Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (lockdown profile)

Note: the spec above is the target we hold for every unit before delivery. Each unit is boot-tested for its lockdown profile, network connectivity, camera, and battery before being packed. If you need a special spec (e.g. a 2-in-1 tablet, a 15-inch screen for accessibility, or a JIS keyboard for a Japanese-language exam), mention it at quotation.

CBT Deployment Workflow — From Contract to Exam Day

How a 200-unit CBT rental package across 3 venues is steered from contract signing to the D+1 handover certificate. This workflow has run across hundreds of exam sessions in Greater Jakarta and beyond the main island.

D-21 to D-14 — Site Survey + Spec Confirmation

Our technicians visit every venue (school, campus, hotel, LSP office). They check power capacity per room, the LAN/Wi-Fi network, desk layout, and emergency exits. We confirm the laptop spec + the lockdown browser required with the committee lead. Output: a site survey report + a final spec sheet per venue.

D-13 to D-7 — Mass Imaging + Lockdown Setup

200 units are imaged at the Kebon Jeruk warehouse with the Windows lockdown profile the committee requires. We install Safe Exam Browser / the LSP browser / the standalone exam app. Each unit is boot-tested, logged into the exam portal, given dummy questions, and exits lockdown. Inventory is updated with a serial number per unit + an asset tag per venue.

D-6 to D-3 — Deploy to Venues + Room Setup

Units are delivered per venue in boxes labelled by session/room. Technicians set up each room: installing power strips, LAN connections per desk, unit labels per seat number, and a boot test of 5 units per room. The unit cabinet keys are handed over to the venue committee. The delivery handover certificate (BAST) is signed per venue.

D-2 to D-1 — Technical Rehearsal + Invigilator Briefing

Every unit boots into lockdown, logs into the exam portal, and runs a 5-minute sample question set. The 60-minute invigilator briefing covers: the boot SOP, login, troubleshooting, escalation, and the spare-unit swap. A dedicated per-venue WhatsApp group is created with Arental technicians. A 4% spare pool (8 units per 200) is on standby at the primary venue.

Exam Day — Technicians on Standby + <15-minute Replacement SLA

The Arental team stands by at the primary venue (1 technician per 100 units) + remote support for distant venues. Any technical issue (a hung unit, a lockdown error, a network drop) is escalated via the WhatsApp group, with a response under 5 minutes and a unit replacement in under 15 minutes. The per-unit audit log is exported for the committee’s records.

D+1 to D+3 — Collection + Final Handover Certificate

Units are collected per venue against a serial-number checklist. Each unit gets a visual inspection + boot test. The final handover certificate (BAST) is signed per venue. An audit summary report (sessions served, active vs spare units used, technical incidents) is sent to the committee lead within 2 working days.

CBT Laptop Rental Price Tiers

Price per unit per day, already including the lockdown profile, LAN cable, an optional mouse, and technical support. The 4% spare pool is bundled free. Site survey + invigilator briefing + a per-session handover certificate (BAST) are included.

CBT Exam FAQ

Questions from Exam Committees & LSP Assessors

What gets asked most often when shortlisting a CBT laptop rental vendor.

Yes — Arental's CBT units are pre-imaged with whatever lockdown browser the exam committee specifies: Safe Exam Browser (for Moodle), an LSP/BNSP certification browser, the BKN CAT system, or a standalone PPDB exam app; USB autoplay, Task Manager and Cortana are all disabled. We prepare each unit with a Windows profile already imaged with the lockdown browser the committee requires: Safe Exam Browser for Moodle, the dedicated exam browser from an LSP/BNSP certification body, the browser from an assessment provider (Pearson VUE or Prometric in their local Indonesian flavour), or a standalone CBT app such as the one issued by the regional Education Office PPDB committee. Every unit is boot-tested into its lockdown profile before delivery, and we switch off USB autoplay, user switching, the Task Manager shortcut, and Cortana to minimise cheating vectors. The list of lockdown environments we have already deployed can be shared when you request a quotation.

Minimum spec for a web-based CBT: Intel Core i3 10th Gen+ / Ryzen 3, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, a 14" FHD display, 6+ hours of battery, and a front-facing camera. For heavy video proctoring (CPNS BKN) we step up to an i5-class ThinkPad T490/T14. For web-based CBT (the majority of providers today), the reliable minimum is: Intel Core i3 10th gen+ or AMD Ryzen 3 5300U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, a 14-inch HD/FHD screen, a healthy 6+ hour battery, and a front camera for live proctoring. We typically deploy Lenovo ThinkPad T440/T460/T470, HP EliteBook 840 G3/G5, or Dell Latitude 5480/5490 — generations already proven for exam workloads. For tests with intensive video proctoring (CPNS BKN, international certifications), we upgrade to a ThinkPad T490/T14 so that streaming camera + audio does not throttle the CPU while the exam application is running.

Arental's multi-location CBT deployment is split into waves: a venue site survey at D-7, per-venue unit deployment at D-3/D-2, a technical rehearsal at D-1, on-site technicians on exam day with a <15-minute replacement SLA, then collection plus a per-venue handover certificate at D+1. For multi-location jobs we usually break the work into waves: at D-7 (seven days before exam day) our technicians visit every venue to survey power, network and desk layout. From D-3 to D-2 the units are deployed per venue, with a formal handover to the local committee lead. At D-1 we run a technical rehearsal: every unit boots, logs into the exam portal, runs a short sample question set, all under invigilator supervision. On exam day, Arental's team stands by at the primary venue (with remote support for distant venues) to replace any problem unit in under 15 minutes. At D+1 the units are collected and a handover certificate (BAST) is signed per venue.

Arental's CBT damage clause: minor damage (scratches/scuffs) is covered by the package insurance, major damage (cracked LCD/motherboard) is borne by the committee at vendor part prices, and a lost unit is charged at market value. Three-year statistics: major damage under 0.3%, losses under 0.05%. The standard Arental clause for CBT packages: minor damage (scratches, screen scuffs) is covered by the package insurance — no extra charge. Major damage (cracked LCD, failed motherboard) is borne by the committee PIC at replacement-part costs equal to vendor pricing — before the exam we provide a transparent part price list. A lost unit is charged a replacement cost equal to market value — we encourage committees to require invigilators to take a unit roll-call per session (start + finish) so losses are detected immediately. Our statistics: over the past three years, under 0.3% of units suffered major damage; lost units stayed under 0.05% with good invigilator controls.

Minimum lead time is 10-14 working days for 200 units across multiple venues (ideally D-21 for PPDB). An order at D-7 or later can still be accommodated with a spec-fixed package and rush pricing. The minimum lead time is 10-14 working days before exam day for a 200-unit multi-venue package. That breaks down as: D-14 to D-10 to confirm spec + lockdown, D-9 to D-7 for the power and network site survey per venue, D-6 to D-4 for mass imaging of 200 units at the Kebon Jeruk warehouse, D-3 to deploy to the venues + train invigilators, and D-2 to D-1 for the technical rehearsal + CBT server connection test. For PPDB, whose schedule is usually fixed (May-June, set by the regional Education Office), we suggest ordering a minimum of D-21 before the first day. An order at D-7 or later can still be accommodated, but with a spec-fixed package (no custom lockdown) and rush pricing.

Yes — Arental's CBT package includes a 60-minute invigilator briefing (on-site or via Zoom), a one-page SOP PDF per venue, and a 4% spare pool (1 unit per 25 active units) on-site for swaps. Every CBT package includes a 60-minute pre-exam invigilator briefing (at the primary venue, or via Zoom for multi-location jobs). The material covers: how to power on / boot the lockdown profile, troubleshooting the exam portal login, restarting the application if it hangs, the escalation flow to Arental technicians via a dedicated per-venue WhatsApp group, and the spare-unit swap procedure. We also supply a one-page SOP PDF per venue + 1 spare unit per 25 active units (a 4% ratio) ready on-site. For committees that have never run CBT before (e.g. a school using online PPDB for the first time), our team helps compose the invigilation SOP + an exam-day checklist.
