Introduction to the YOS Exam (Turkey University Entrance Exam)
efore discussing the YOS Preparation Course at Elite Lingo, it is essential to understand what the YOS Exam is.
The YOS (Yabancı Uyruklu Öğrenci Sınavı) — translated as Foreign Student Examination — is a university entrance exam for undergraduate programs in Turkey. It was established and organized by the Student Assessment and Selection Center (ÖSYM).
The YOS Exam is conducted annually to assess international applicants who wish to pursue higher education in Turkey. It is designed exclusively for foreign students, and it is offered in both Turkish and English. Candidates can choose the exam language based on their preferred language of study at the university.
The exam consists of two main sections:
1. Written Exam:
The written part of the YOS exam evaluates three key subjects — Mathematics, Geometry, and Intelligence (Logic Reasoning).
The test includes 80 to 100 multiple-choice questions.
Candidates are given 100 to 120 minutes to complete it.
The exam follows a negative marking system, meaning every four incorrect answers eliminate one correct answer.
To qualify for the next stage, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 50 out of 100, though top universities often require higher scores for admission.
2. Oral Exam (Language Assessment):
After passing the written test, candidates are required to take a language proficiency interview in either Turkish or English, depending on their chosen program.
If the student’s language level meets university standards, they can proceed directly to enrollment.
If not, they must first attend a six-month preparatory language course before beginning their academic studies.
The YOS Exam serves as a critical gateway for international students aspiring to study Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Pharmacy, and other undergraduate disciplines in leading Turkish universities.
