Which Exam Is for You?
YDS is the classic 80-question ÖSYM format used by academics, civil servants and associate professor candidates. YÖKDİL is a field-specific (Social / Health / Science) exam used only by academic staff, with fewer distractors than YDS. We map your route to your goal at enrollment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many YDS sessions per year?
ÖSYM runs YDS twice a year (March and September). Our calendar syncs to those dates: January and July are our intake months.
Starting from scratch, how many months to score 75?
If your base is B1: typically 4–5 months of intensive study. If A2 or below: we recommend a 2-month General English foundation first; 6–8 months total is realistic. The free placement chat gives you a concrete plan.
Is YDS or YÖKDİL easier?
Both are graded on the same scale, but YÖKDİL usually plays to your field knowledge (social / health / science), giving academics an edge. If you're academic staff, lean toward YÖKDİL.
Can I attend online?
Yes — in-person class plus live recording plus digital question bank means you can catch up the same week even if you miss a lesson.
