CoHE’s Decisions Regarding Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS)
February 11, 2022
Starting from the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) for 2022, the
requirement of having the minimum scores for TYT and AYT, which were 150
and 180 points, respectively, for the selection of associate and
undergraduate degree programs was abolished.
According to the new decisions, the requirement of getting the minimum
score of 150 points in the TYT score type for the calculation of the exam
scores in the SAY, SÖZ, EA and DİL score types, and getting the minimum
score of 150 points for the TYT score type and the minimum score of 180
points in the SAY, SÖZ, EA and DİL score types for the calculation of
placement scores was abolished.
As of this year, the placement score will be calculated by adding the high
school grade point average for all candidates whose exam scores are
calculated in the relevant score types.
Candidates will have the opportunity to be placed according to score
supremacy, with the placement score that will be calculated by adding the
high school grade point average to the exam score, as in previous years.
Whose TYT and AYT Exam Scores will be calculated?
Candidates will continue to be required to get 0.5 or more raw scores from
the Basic Mathematics or Turkish Language Test for the calculation of the
TYT exam score. The SAY, SÖZ, EA and DİL scores will not be calculated for
the candidates who do not have a TYT score or whose TYT score is not
calculated, even if they take AYT and/or YDT.
Candidates will continue to be required to get 0.5 or more raw scores from
at least one of the two tests in AYT regarding the related score type
required for the calculation of the test scores in the SAY, SÖZ and EA
score types and to get 0.5 or more raw scores from the Foreign Language
Test required for the calculation of the exam score in the DİL score type.
Universities will determine the minimum scores in the application to
special talent programs
Candidates can apply to higher education programs that admit students with
a special talent exam in case their TYT scores are calculated, and the
relevant higher education institution will decide whether a minimum score
requirement is sought, and if so, the institution will determine the
minimum score required to apply to the program. The decision will be
announced to the candidates through media outlets.
Candidates will continue to be required to meet the success ranking
condition in some programs
Candidates are still required to get into the determined success rankings
needed to choose medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law, architecture,
engineering and teaching programs.
200 and more points obtained from 2021-TYT
The scores taken from 2021-TYT (200 scores and more) can be used in
2022-YKS after conversion. On the other hand, the scores taken starting
from 2022-TYT (200 scores and more for TYT) cannot be used in the following
year.
Exam Duration is Extended
The duration of the Basic Proficiency Test, which was 135 minutes, was
extended by 30 minutes, making it 165 minutes.
