The examination consists of two parts. The first is the "Basic Learning Skills Test" which assesses abstract reasoning. The questions have a minimal dependence on language but explanations are given in English and Turkish. The second part is the "Turkish Language Proficiency Test" which assesses the candidate's comprehension of written Turkish.
The two-part examination is in a single booklet. It is a multiple-choice test, and the candidate is required to select the right answer among the five alternatives.


Can someone please tell me what a Basic Learning Skills test is And how can mathematics be asked in a multiple choice test? In Holland the way of calculating counts, not the answer :-S

Im really freaking out here because I just read that they dont care about the results for the second part about turkish language, when it comes to placing u in a unşiversity.. but I know no mathematics at all and im definitely not good at abstract reasoning :-S

HOW can I prepare for this exam and how can I find a website which gives me all info? Ive been searching for 2 hours and all i get is turkish pages or english not working pages!!

The official page where you can find everything what you need and samples of this exam is http://www.osym.gov.tr/
Unfortunately its in Turkish,but I think your knowledge of Turkish will be enough.

Thank you, I will buy such a book. I sort of became upset so I called Kadir.. he thinks he will be able to teach me the maths with the help of a book. but my mathematics is really SIFIR!

Well you need a minimum of 40 points. I probably dont need to score higher as the department i wanna get into is not that hard as for example medicines. But the 40 points I need will be scored upon topics I dont know anything about. I seem to have a blank when it comes to mathematic, geometry and those kinda things. I had 6 years of mathematics lessons and I took special trainings in the last year and I couldnt pass my maths exam! I came 0.1 short but still! It was one of the highest grades I had ever gotten for maths!

Anyway Kadir said that if we study hard for the coming 4 months, I'll stand a good chance. Because what to do if I dont pass? We will go ask the müdürlüğü of EGE Ãœniversite for the requirements of entering Turkish language and literature department. Its really funny: in the exam ur knowledge of turkish doesnt count when placing the students. But isnt my knowledge of turkish way more important than my knowledge of maths for me to succeed in the field ı wanna study in?
