Abstract
This study aims to analyze the factors that influence learners in choosing Biology as the subject of choice of UNBK and analyze the most dominant factor in influencing learners choose Biology as the preferred subject of UNBK. This research is a mixed method research using sequential mix method with qualitative-quantitative sequential explanatory strategy. The population in this study are students of science majors class XII who choose Biology in SMA N 1 Pecangaan and SMA N 1 Jepara, amounting to 208 learners. The technique of sampling data using random sampling technique. Determination of the number of samples using Isaac and Michael formula with a 95% confidence level, so that obtained at least 131 samples from 208 members of the population. The results of this study indicate: (1) There are 9 factors that influence the Friends and Parents, Interests and Motivation, Ideals and Profession of Parents, Ability, Teacher and Parents, School Environment, Perception, and Interest and Achievement. The most dominant factor affecting is Friends and Parents with an eigenvalue of 6,922 which can explain the variant variation of 24.723% of cumulative variance percentage of 71,675%.
Highlights
Most of the implementation of National Examination/Ujian Nasional (UN) 2018 had been based on computer which usually called Computer-based National Exam (UNBK), there are differences on the implementation of National Exam (UN) held on 2018

At Natural Sciences Department there are six subjects to be tested for UN, they are Mathematics, Indonesian Language, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics
Summary
Most of the implementation of National Examination/Ujian Nasional (UN) 2018 had been based on computer which usually called Computer-based National Exam (UNBK), there are differences on the implementation of National Exam (UN) held on 2018. All of the subjects from the previous year are compulsory to be tested for UN based on the corresponding major. At Natural Sciences Department there are six subjects to be tested for UN, they are Mathematics, Indonesian Language, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. UNBK for High School (SMA), there are four subjects to be tested, they are Mathematics, Indonesian Language, English Language, and one more alternative subject based on the major of the student (Natural Sciences/SocialSciences/Language). The existence of that system gives the students to choose the subject based on their characteristic. For measuring the potentials (skills) of the students individually. There are many factors affect students’ decision. Based on the research that has been conducted there are factors affecting someone on deciding choices
