1Which version correctly distinguishes the attached Turkish suffix -ki from the conjunction ki?
A.Masada ki notu okudum ve anladımki toplantı ertelenmiş.
B.Masada ki notu okudum ve anladım ki toplantı ertelenmiş.
C.Masadaki notu okudum ve anladımki toplantı ertelenmiş.
D.Masadaki notu okudum ve anladım ki toplantı ertelenmiş.
Explanation: Masadaki contains an attached suffix forming a modifier. The conjunction ki in anladım ki is a separate word.
2Read the constructed sentence: 'Başvuruların sayısı artmasına rağmen işlem süresi kısaldı.' Which relationship does rağmen express?
A.A result expected solely from the increase
B.An example of the application types
C.A contrast between increased applications and reduced processing time
D.A condition that processing must become slower
Explanation: Rağmen marks concession or contrast. The sentence reports a shorter processing time despite the increase in applications.
3Read this constructed passage: 'Yeni sistem hataları azaltmayı amaçlıyor. Ancak ilk ayın verileri tek başına kalıcı bir başarı göstermez; sonraki aylar da izlenmelidir.' Which conclusion is supported?
A.The system has certainly failed
B.One month's results are insufficient to establish lasting success
C.No results should ever be measured
D.The passage proves that errors increased
Explanation: The passage calls for continued observation before judging permanence. It does not assert either failure or an increase in errors.
4Arrange these constructed Turkish sentences into the most coherent sequence: I. 'Bu nedenle raflar konu başlıklarına göre yeniden düzenlendi.' II. 'Okurlar aradıkları kitabı bulmakta zorlanıyordu.' III. 'Düzenlemeden sonra arama süresi kısaldı.'
A.I–II–III
B.II–I–III
C.III–I–II
D.II–III–I
Explanation: The difficulty provides the reason for reorganizing the shelves, and the final sentence states the subsequent result. Bu nedenle links the intervention to the previously described problem.
5A constructed notice states: 'Yalnızca kaydı onaylanan adaylar atölyeye katılabilir. Kaydı onaylanan her adayın katılması zorunlu değildir.' Which inference is valid?
A.Everyone with approval must attend
B.Anyone attending must have approval, but an approved person may choose not to attend
C.Anyone without approval may attend if seats remain
D.Approval and attendance are equivalent conditions
Explanation: Approval is a necessary condition for attendance. The second sentence explicitly denies that approval makes attendance compulsory.
6A hypothetical registration charge of TRY 240 is increased by 20% and then the increased amount is reduced by 25%. What is the final charge?
A.TRY 180
B.TRY 240
C.TRY 228
D.TRY 216
Explanation: The increased amount is 240×1.20 = TRY 288. Applying the reduction gives 288×0.75 = TRY 216.
7One clerk completes a batch alone in 6 hours and another in 3 hours. At their constant individual rates, how long do they take together?
A.1 hour
B.4.5 hours
C.3 hours
D.2 hours
Explanation: Their combined rate is 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2 batch per hour. One batch therefore takes 2 hours.
8A 12-litre solution contains 30% concentrate by volume. Assuming additive volumes, how much water must be added to make a 15% solution?
A.6 litres
B.9 litres
C.12 litres
D.24 litres
Explanation: The concentrate volume remains 12×0.30 = 3.6 litres. A 15% mixture must total 3.6/0.15 = 24 litres, requiring 24 − 12 = 12 litres of water.
9A team has four trained and three untrained members. A two-person committee is chosen uniformly from all distinct pairs. What is the probability that it includes at least one trained member?
A.4/7
B.2/7
C.6/7
D.16/49
Explanation: There are 7×6/2=21 distinct pairs. Only 3×2/2=3 pairs have no trained member, so the required probability is 1−3/21=6/7.
10A 12 m by 9 m floor will be covered with square tiles of side 60 cm. The order must include 8% extra tiles beyond the exact area requirement. Tiles come in packs of 12. Ignoring gaps and cuts, how many packs are needed?
A.25
B.26
C.27
D.30
Explanation: The floor area is 108 m² and each tile covers 0.6×0.6=0.36 m², so the exact requirement is 300 tiles. Including 8% extra gives 324 tiles, or 324/12=27 packs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this independent bank cover?

It offers selective practice in original Turkish comprehension and spelling, worked quantitative problems, selected history, geography and citizenship. It does not claim complete coverage of the official outline.

Does this reproduce the official assessment?

This is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or a simulation of the official language environment. The bank is selective rather than comprehensive. Four-option study questions do not replace any required writing, translation, recitation, interview, practical, physical, medical or subsequent training assessment.

Which eligibility rules apply?

Associate-degree graduates and eligible prospective graduates under this guide; higher-level graduation and application-date exclusions must be checked against the guide. A candidate must use the applicable education-level assessment rather than assume Lisans rules apply.
