"As an international student, the YOS exam felt overwhelming at first. TestPrep's tutors not only prepared me for the Math and IQ sections but also guided me through the entire university application process. I was accepted to Istanbul University's Medical Faculty. I couldn't have done it without their support."

Ask for detailsThe YOS (Foreign Student Examination) exam is the primary pathway for international students seeking admission to Turkish universities. Each university designs and administers its own YOS exam, typically consisting of Mathematics, Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and IQ (Abstract Reasoning) sections. Scoring well on the YOS is essential for gaining admission to competitive programs such as Medicine, Engineering and Law at Turkey's top universities.
TestPrep's YOS program is specifically designed for international students. We provide comprehensive preparation across all three sections with special emphasis on the IQ component, which is unique to the YOS format. Our tutors have deep knowledge of each university's exam format and question styles, allowing us to create targeted preparation plans for your specific university choices.
Our students have been accepted to Turkey's most prestigious institutions including Istanbul University, Ankara University, Hacettepe University and Istanbul Technical University. We support you not only with exam preparation but also with university selection, application procedures and program matching to ensure you find the best fit for your academic goals.

The group never had more than six students, so it was easy to stay involved. I finally understood what was going wrong in Time Management. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Felix Schmitz
We weren't sure whether online lessons would be effective. We were able to follow the mock results regularly. The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. The tutor's close attention to weaker areas gave us confidence. It was good to see confidence returning over time. We were pleased with the support we received.
Madison Chandler
Over time, IQ & Logic became one of the most organized parts of my YÖS / TR-YÖS preparation. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class.
Shota Takeuchi
Our child wasn't sure how to organize the preparation for YÖS / TR-YÖS. Preparation looked calmer and more organized closer to the exam.
Hina Maeda
The YÖS / TR-YÖS format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. My confidence improved along with the results.
Mika Valdez
I was taking Mathematics at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster.
