YOS in Ankara? We Are Ready To Deliver

A lot of students come to us for help getting into Turkish universities. Generally we specialize in SAT and ACT for this, because we are experts in English language exams. We work with a lot of international students and sometimes the university is happy to take a Turkish entry exam, so we also offer YOS.

YOS Academic Exam Testimonial – Not Yet

What? No YOS Academic Exam review yet?

We have delivered this service successfully many times.

Unfortunately although we send out hundreds of review requests, people are often too busy, or don’t care, or just don’t want to leave a review. 🙁

The industry average review response rate is just 1 to 3%.

For famous brands it is typically a much higher response rate of 6 to 8%.

But we are not famous … not yet anyway 🙂

If you want this service, contact us, we will be happy to help you.

If you are a foreign student from a Turkish speaking country or region, then entering Turkish universities is potentially easier to achieve via a Turkish language test. This is especially popular with students from Turkish speaking countries such as Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Khazakstan, Uzbekistan. It is also common for students from Turkish speaking areas of Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon and Bulgaria. Turkish-speaking citizens from the migrant communities in Germany, Holland, Austria, Sweden and other European countries also sometimes prefer to enter university in Turkey rather than in their home country, for example for family reasons. However, if the student comes from country where English is not part of their daily lives or where the cost of going to America, the UK or Europe is a little high, or where there are cultural similarities, why not learn Turkish and choose a Turkish university? There is a rising popularity with students from some African countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, Egypt and Tunisia for this reason.

The benefit of taking YOS is that it is much easier for a Turkish speaking student to pass an exam in their own language, and it is objectively an easier test than either SAT or ACT. The negative aspect is that YOS is not accepted outside Turkey, so if you are also considering going to university in America, the UK or the European Union, SAT or ACT might be better for you.

Here you can read about the challenges that are waiting for you in the exam. When you are ready to study for your YOS in Ankara, we will be happy to work out the best study programme for you.
