After TR-YÖS/2 2026: Questions, Results and University Applications

[TURKIYE]

After TR-YÖS/2 2026: Published Questions, Results and University Applications​

2026-TR-YÖS/2 took place on 11 October 2026. Later that day, Türkiye's assessment and examination authority, ÖSYM, released part of the question booklet and answer key. The next stage is different from preparing for the exam: establish exactly what has been published, wait for your official result, and identify universities and programmes that can consider your application and score.

Keep the stages separate: publication of questions and answers does not mean that candidates' scores have been released. Receiving a TR-YÖS score does not automatically create a university application either.

Completing paperwork for study​

What has ÖSYM published?​

The announcement dated 11 October provides 10% of the basic question booklet and answer key. You can access the file through ÖSYM's official TR-YÖS/2 booklet announcement. An answer to a published question lets you review that question; it does not make this small selection a reliable estimate of your overall result.

Before relying on a file being circulated, check three things:

• The full exam label: 2026-TR-YÖS/2, rather than another sitting or a university's own examination.
• The file's scope: the publicly released selection is 10%. A purported complete paper is not an official release simply because people are sharing it.
• The publisher: start from ÖSYM's announcement instead of an unknown message or a link asking for your account details.

A useful way to review: Record the type of mistake you noticed: reading the question, calculation, time management or selecting an answer. This can inform future preparation without turning your recollection of the exam into a supposed final score.

Dates and the status of each stage​

Stage	Date or status	What it means for you
TR-YÖS/2 examination	11 October 2026	This sitting has taken place
Partial question and answer release	11 October 2026; a 10% selection	Review of the published material, rather than a candidate result
Result announcement	5 November 2026 in ÖSYM's published calendar	A scheduled date; monitor official announcements for changes
University applications	According to each university and programme's announcement	The exam result date does not establish an application window
TR-YÖS validity	Two years from the exam date under this sitting's guide	Also check the university's rules for accepting the result

Use ÖSYM's examination calendar and the official results service. Select the correct examination: a result for another exam appearing on the service does not mean that TR-YÖS/2 results are available.

What to do when your result is released​

Open the results service at its official address and sign in with your identity number, foreigner number or TR-YÖS number and password, as applicable to your account. Save your result document, then check your name, candidate number, examination label and score before sending it to a university.

A short practical checklist:

• Keep the original document in your study folder, with a backup you can access.
• Give the file a clear name identifying the sitting and year. Keep an earlier result document instead of overwriting it.
• Record the document's release date and the exam date separately. The validity period runs from the examination date.
• If there is a problem with your details or result, promptly consult ÖSYM's procedures for this sitting. Do not assume that a complaint to a university will correct the examination record.

Keep control of your examination account: Providing a result document when required is different from handing your password to an admissions agency. Retain access to your email, account and recovery methods.

Organising documents and an online application​

An exam result and a university offer are different stages​

ÖSYM administers the examination and publishes the result. University applications, enrolment, scholarships, accommodation and residence permits are separate processes. Asking whether your score is good is only a starting point. The practical questions are whether you meet this programme's eligibility rules, whether it is accepting applications, and what it requires alongside your score.

What to check in the university announcement	Question to ask	Record to retain
Applicant eligibility	Does my citizenship category and educational background qualify for international admission?	Official admission requirements
Accepted examination results	Is this sitting accepted, and is there a minimum score?	The accepted tests and criteria table
Application window	Is there an open window or an announced later round?	The calendar and application receipt
Teaching language	Which language evidence is accepted, and is preparation required?	The programme's language requirements
Fees and enrolment	When is payment due, and what happens if enrolment is not completed?	A written offer and payment policy
Educational documents	What are the requirements for the diploma, transcript, translations and equivalency?	The document checklist and university response

A minimum score does not guarantee an offer. Treat it as one admission requirement, then read the selection procedure, available places and conditions specific to the subject. If the announcement does not explain whether the second sitting is accepted, ask the international office before paying a non-refundable fee.

Useful work while waiting for the result​

Build a manageable shortlist of programmes you actually want to study. For each one, record the city, teaching language, required documents, written costs and application deadline. Mark information the university has not confirmed. A blank field is more useful than a deadline copied from a previous year.

• Documents: Prepare your diploma, transcript and identification. Check that your name is consistent across the documents before arranging translations or uploading them.
• Language: Read the requirements for your particular programme. The language of your TR-YÖS booklet does not automatically waive proof of the teaching language.
• Budget: Separate tuition from accommodation, living expenses, insurance and document costs. Keep the estimate provisional until you obtain the relevant written offer.
• Correspondence: Ask a specific question naming the exam sitting, programme and intended admission year. Keep the written reply with your application records.

Three examples to keep decisions grounded​

First example: You checked every published question and believe you answered all of them correctly. That covers only the released selection. Wait for the official result before basing an admission decision or payment on it.

Second example: A university accepts TR-YÖS, but its application window closed before this sitting's result is due. Ask about an announced later round or using the result in another admission cycle. Do not assume that applications will reopen automatically.

Third example: An agency representative describes your score as a guaranteed route into medicine. Request the programme's criteria, official procedure and written offer. A verbal assurance cannot replace the university's requirements.

Preparing an application for study​

Quick questions​

Were TR-YÖS/2 results published with the question booklet?
The 11 October announcement concerns 10% of the questions and answer key. Results are a separate stage, scheduled for 5 November 2026 in the calendar.

Can I work out my final score from the answers I remember?
Use your review to understand your performance, then wait for the official score document to submit to universities. A post-exam estimate cannot replace it.

Does validity begin on the result publication date?
The 2026 TR-YÖS/2 guide specifies two years from the examination date. Also read the acceptance conditions at your chosen university.

Is the exam also a scholarship or residence permit application?
Prepare a separate application for each process. The score alone is not a scholarship, enrolment or residence decision.
