Turkish Exams (TDYS / TSTS)

Take an official Turkish proficiency (TDYS) or level-placement (TSTS) exam — no prior course enrollment required. External candidates are welcome.

Türkçe Dil Yeterlik Sınavı (TDYS)

An official Turkish language proficiency exam, open to external candidates without prior course enrollment. It assesses four skills — listening, reading, speaking and writing — each worth 25% of a 100-point total, with a multiple-choice section for listening and reading followed by speaking and writing assessments. The exam covers the B2 and C1 proficiency levels.

Successful candidates receive an official Turkish Language Proficiency Certificate for the level achieved: B2 (70–79 points) or C1 (80–100 points).

Register any time — you don't need a scheduled session. After your application is approved, we'll assign you to an exam session based on your preferred dates and contact you.

Türkçe Seviye Tespit Sınavı (TSTS)

A Turkish level-placement exam that measures your current proficiency and places you into the appropriate level — A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. It evaluates listening, reading, speaking and writing (25 points each, 100 total) and is open to anyone who wants to determine their Turkish level. University students are exempt from the fee.

The placement exam itself does not award a certificate. To receive an official certificate, take the Turkish Language Proficiency Exam (TDYS) afterwards.
