How to Calculate 2026 YKS Scores and High School Graduation Points (OBP)

Turkish university entrance exams (YKS) for 2026 will calculate scores based on net correct answers from the TYT, AYT, and YDT sessions, along with test standard deviations and the Secondary Education Achievement Score (OBP). The process begins with determining each candidate's correct and incorrect answers for every test.

Turkey's ÖSYM system applies a rule where four incorrect answers nullify one correct answer. Candidates must achieve at least 0.5 net points in a test to have their score calculated for that section. If a candidate scores zero nets in a specific test, their score for that particular exam type will not be computed.

After net scores are established, the average and standard deviation for each test are calculated based on all participants' results for that year. These figures are used to convert raw net scores into standard scores (Z and T scores), with an average of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. This system means a single net point on a difficult test, where the national average is low, can yield a higher score than a net point on an easier test.

Finally, weighted scores are generated by multiplying the standard scores with weighting coefficients specified in the ÖSYM guide. For the TYT score, Turkish and Basic Mathematics tests each contribute 33%, while Social Sciences and Science tests contribute 17%. The final placement score, used for university applications, is the weighted score plus the OBP.
