YDS, or the "Foreign Language Proficiency Exam" (Yabancı Dil Bilgisi Seviye Tespit Sınavı), is an exam conducted by ÖSYM in Turkey. It replaced the KPDS (Public Personnel Foreign Language Exam) and ÜDS (Interuniversity Foreign Language Exam). YDS is an academic language test designed to measure a candidate's proficiency in grammar, reading comprehension, and vocabulary through a multiple-choice format.
The YDS exam has a broad range of participants, including:
The level required depends on the target score. For a score of 50-60, an Intermediate level with proper training is sufficient. However, candidates aiming for a score of 70 or higher should be at an Upper-Intermediate or Advanced level.
Registration for the YDS exam is done online or through ÖSYM offices.
The YDS exam consists of 80 questions, each worth 1.25 points. Only correct answers are evaluated, and there is no penalty for incorrect answers.
The exam duration is 150 minutes. Participants are not allowed to leave the exam room within the first 110 minutes and the last 15 minutes.
Associate professorship candidates need at least 65 points, and PhD and proficiency in arts candidates require a minimum of 55 points. For academic positions, each university sets its own minimum score, but typically, a score of 65 is considered successful. For language compensation, the scores are classified as follows:
Although ÖSYM has stated that YDS scores are valid indefinitely, some universities and institutions may impose their own validity limits. It's important to check with the relevant institution for specific requirements. For language compensation, the score is valid for 5 years. Among multiple scores, the highest one will be considered valid.
