Sample KPSS Lisans GY-GK Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the KPSS Lisans GY-GK exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 40+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which sentence incorrectly joins the Turkish conjunction 'ki' to the preceding word?
A.Duydumki toplantı ertelenmiş.
B.Mademki geldiniz, görüşelim.
C.Oysaki seni aramıştım.
D.Bilmem ki ne söyleyeyim.
Explanation: The ordinary conjunction is written separately: 'Duydum ki'. 'Mademki' and 'oysaki' are established joined exceptions, while 'bilmem ki' correctly uses separate spelling.
2In 'Toplantıda bu konu da tartışıldı', what does the separately written 'da' express?
A.The location where the meeting occurred
B.An addition: this topic was also discussed
C.The ownership of the topic
D.A future-tense ending on the verb
Explanation: The separate conjunction 'da' adds this topic to other things discussed. The locative ending in 'toplantıda' is attached to its noun and performs a different function.
3Which version correctly capitalizes the official name of the Turkish Constitutional Court?
A.anayasa Mahkemesi
B.Anayasa mahkemesi
C.Anayasa Mahkemesi
D.anayasa mahkemesi
Explanation: Each word in an institution's official name begins with a capital letter. Therefore both 'Anayasa' and 'Mahkemesi' are capitalized in the court's name.
4Which choice correctly writes the intensive adjective meaning 'soaking wet'?
A.sırıl sıklam
B.sırılsık lam
C.sırıl-sıklam
D.sırılsıklam
Explanation: TDK treats this intensive form as one word: 'sırılsıklam'. Separating or hyphenating its parts does not follow the standard spelling.
5Outside special financial-document conventions, how should the number 235 be written in Turkish words in an ordinary report?
A.iki yüz otuz beş
B.ikiyüz otuzbeş
C.iki yüzotuz beş
D.ikiyüzotuzbeş
Explanation: The words forming an ordinary written-out number are separated: 'iki yüz otuz beş'. Special conventions for instruments such as checks do not change the ordinary prose rule.
6Read: 'Kütüphanelerin başarısı yalnızca kitap sayısıyla ölçülemez. Okurun doğru kaynağa ulaşabilmesi ve mekânı kullanabilmesi de önemlidir.' Which statement best captures the main idea?
A.Book counts are the only useful measure of library quality.
B.Library quality involves access and usability as well as collection size.
C.Libraries should stop measuring their collections.
D.The passage recommends replacing books with larger buildings.
Explanation: 'Yalnızca ... ölçülemez' rejects an exclusive measure without rejecting that measure entirely. The following sentence adds access to sources and usability as further dimensions.
7Read: 'Araştırmaya katılanların bir bölümü çevrim içi hizmeti tercih etti; sonuçlar bütün ilçe halkına genellenemez.' Which conclusion stays within the passage?
A.Every district resident prefers online service.
B.No participant preferred online service.
C.Some participants preferred online service, but the passage limits generalization to the whole district.
D.The survey established the district population's exact preference rate.
Explanation: The passage makes a limited claim about participants and expressly rejects generalization to all residents. A conclusion must preserve both the population studied and that limitation.
8Arrange these sentences into the most coherent paragraph: I. 'Bu nedenle önce veriler kontrol edilmelidir.' II. 'Yanlış verilerle hazırlanan bir rapor, doğru yöntem kullanılsa bile yanıltıcı olabilir.' III. 'Kontrol tamamlandıktan sonra analiz aşamasına geçilebilir.'
A.I–II–III
B.III–I–II
C.II–III–I
D.II–I–III
Explanation: The risk of incorrect data supplies the reason for 'Bu nedenle'. The instruction to check first is then followed by analysis after checking is complete, giving II–I–III.
9In 'Görevliler başvuruları dün inceledi', which word is the finite predicate (yüklem)?
A.inceledi
B.Görevliler
C.başvuruları
D.dün
Explanation: 'İnceledi' states the action with finite past-tense marking and functions as the predicate. The other words identify the actor, the object, and the time.
10Five people, A, B, C, D, and E, occupy numbered seats 1–5, one each. A is in seat 1, C sits immediately before D, and neither B nor D is in seat 5. Which seat must E occupy?
A.Seat 2
B.Seat 5
C.Seat 3
D.Seat 4
Explanation: C cannot occupy seat 5 because D must immediately follow, while D and B are expressly excluded from seat 5 and A occupies seat 1. E must therefore occupy seat 5. Feasible orders include A–C–D–B–E and A–B–C–D–E.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a score of 70 mean everyone passes?

There is no universal KPSS pass mark. Four wrong answers offset one correct answer before standardization; appointment and career-entry requirements depend on the relevant score type and recruitment notice.

Does this bank cover all KPSS routes?

It covers selected Lisans GY-GK topics. Field Knowledge, Önlisans, Ortaöğretim and EKPSS have separate assessments or eligibility and score arrangements; this is not a substitute bank for those exams.

How long are the 2026 results usable for B-group recruitment?

The 2026 guide provides a two-year validity period for B-group use. Consult the applicable recruitment notice and guide rather than assuming every KPSS use has the same validity.
