BKN CAT Simulation Becomes Primary Tool for Applicants Ahead of 2026 CASN Selection

As enthusiasm grows ahead of the opening of the 2026 Prospective Civil State Apparatus (CASN) selection, the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) is now providing free Computer Assisted Test (CAT) simulation services. This feature serves as a vital tool for prospective applicants to assess their readiness before the official examinations commence.

The BKN CAT simulation is more than just standard practice questions; it is specifically designed to replicate the actual Basic Competency Selection (SKD) examination system. Participating in these simulations offers several strategic advantages for applicants, including system adaptation to the BKN CAT interface, improved time management under pressure, an accurate measurement of subject mastery, and the reduction of exam-day anxiety.

For those wishing to begin early preparations, BKN provides official access through the following steps: visit the official website at https://cat.bkn.go.id/simulasi/, select the ‘Register Simulation’ menu, and complete the required form. Once registered, users can log in with their username or email and password, select an available simulation, and begin the exam to receive their scores.

Despite the availability of the simulation feature, the BKN emphasised that this does not imply that the 2026 CPNS or PPPK registration will open in the near future. To date, the government has not released an official schedule regarding the opening of the 2026 CASN registration.

The BKN urges the public to remain vigilant against hoaxes and not to trust selection schedules circulating on social media unless they originate from official government channels. All information regarding ASN recruitment will only be announced through the official SSCASN portal and the BKN official website.
