The central exam within the scope of the Transition to High School System (LGS) for 8th-grade students, organized by the Ministry of National Education (MEB), will be held tomorrow.
A total of 1,022,658 students have applied for the central exam. The exam will be conducted in 4,244 buildings across 81 provinces and 920 districts within the country, and in 8 countries and 11 exam centers abroad. Students who do not take the exam, which is not compulsory, will be placed in high schools through local placement.
The exam will be based on the learning outcomes of the 8th-grade curriculum and will include questions measuring students' skills such as reading comprehension, interpretation, drawing conclusions, problem-solving, analysis, critical thinking, and scientific processes.
FIRST SESSION AT 09:30
The first session of the exam, which consists of two sessions, will start at 09:30, and the second session at 11:30. In the first session, a total of 50 questions will be asked from Turkish, T.C. History of Revolution and Kemalism, Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge, and Foreign Language, with a duration of 75 minutes.
In the second session, a total of 40 questions will be asked from Mathematics and Science, with a duration of 80 minutes.
During the 45-minute break between sessions, students can go out to the schoolyard and attend to their needs.
For the first time this year, students will be given a nutrition package consisting of dried fruit oat bars, walnuts, raisins, and water during the break between the verbal and numerical sessions to meet their nutritional needs, reduce exam anxiety, and increase motivation.
Additionally, to increase security during the exam, camera systems with artificial intelligence-supported infrastructure will be installed to enable pat-down searches at building entrances and monitor the distribution process of exam documents to room officials in meeting rooms.
IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT REQUIRED
Students must bring their photo-bearing, approved exam entry document and a valid identification document to the exam. Additionally, students must have at least two dark black and soft lead pencils, a pencil sharpener, and a non-smudging soft eraser.
When calculating exam scores, the number of correct and incorrect answers for each sub-test in the verbal and numerical fields will be determined. Each student's raw score for each sub-test will be calculated by subtracting one-third of the number of incorrect answers from the number of correct answers for that test.
Local placement procedures for students who do not take the exam will be carried out by provincial and district national education directorates based on school type, quota, and location, according to criteria such as students' residence addresses, school success score superiority, and the low number of unexcused absences, in order, within the secondary education registration areas.
In case of a tie in the evaluation, placement will be made based on the end-of-year success score superiority in the 8th, 7th, and 6th grades, respectively.
