LGS & YKS English
School exam preparation aligned with the Turkish curriculum and question style.
What LGS and YKS English are
LGS (Liseye Geçiş Sınavı) is the national exam Turkish students sit at the end of middle school to place into high school; YKS (Yükseköğretim Kurumları Sınavı) is the exam at the end of high school for university placement. Both include an English section that follows MEB's curriculum closely, distinct in style from international exams like IELTS or Cambridge.
Exam format
How the exams are structured
Both are multiple-choice, curriculum-based English questions embedded within a larger national exam: vocabulary in context, dialogue completion, grammar in use, and short reading passages, all written and scored to match the MEB syllabus your school is already teaching from.
Who it's for
Who takes it
Middle school students preparing for LGS placement, and high school students preparing for the YKS English section as part of their overall university placement score.
How we prepare you
How we prepare you
Lessons stay aligned with what your school is covering week to week and match the Turkish curriculum's own question style, so exam day doesn't feel different from a normal practice session. There's no switching between an international exam's format and the school exam's format, which is where many students lose points unnecessarily.
Frequently asked questions
Is this different from Cambridge or IELTS preparation?
Yes, LGS and YKS use a different question style rooted in the MEB curriculum, not an international exam format. We prepare each separately so the two don't get confused.
Can this run alongside my school's own English classes?
Yes, and it's designed to: lessons reinforce and extend what school already covers rather than teaching a separate curriculum.
