Sample KPSS Ortaöğretim Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the KPSS Ortaöğretim exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 20+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Read the constructed Turkish sentence: 'Kitabı okuduktan sonra notlarını gözden geçirdi.' Which action occurred first?
A.Reviewing the notes
B.Reading the book
C.Both are explicitly simultaneous
D.The sentence gives no order
Explanation: Okuduktan sonra places the note review after reading the book. The construction establishes sequence rather than simultaneity.
2Which attached form correctly expresses arkadaşı ile under standard Turkish spelling?
A.arkadaşıyla
B.arkadaşıile
C.arkadaşile
D.arkadaşı-yla
Explanation: When ile attaches to a vowel-ending word, its initial vowel drops and a linking y appears. Arkadaşı ile therefore becomes arkadaşıyla.
3In 'Yağmur başladığı için gezi ertelendi', what is the stated cause of the postponement?
A.The trip had already ended
B.Rain began
C.The group changed its destination
D.The weather forecast was never read
Explanation: The clause yağmur başladığı için supplies the reason for postponing the trip. The other proposed causes do not appear in the sentence.
4A constructed notice says: 'Başvurular cuma günü sona erecek. Eksik belgeler pazartesiye kadar tamamlanabilir.' Which inference is supported?
A.New applications are accepted until Monday
B.The deadline for completing missing documents differs from the application deadline
C.Applications close on Thursday
D.No documents are needed for any application
Explanation: The notice gives separate deadlines for submitting applications and completing missing documents. The later document deadline does not extend the stated application period.
5Read: 'Bazı katılımcılar hem sabah hem öğleden sonra oturumuna katıldı. Sabah oturumuna katılanlardan en az biri öğleden sonraki oturuma katılmadı.' Which interpretation preserves both statements?
A.Nobody attended both sessions
B.There were attendees of both sessions, and at least one morning attendee did not attend the afternoon session
C.Every morning attendee also attended the afternoon session
D.Every afternoon attendee also attended the morning session
Explanation: The first statement establishes an overlap between the groups. The second explicitly places at least one morning attendee outside that overlap.
6A stationery shop sells 4 notebooks for TRY 70 at a constant unit price. What do 10 notebooks cost?
A.TRY 140
B.TRY 160
C.TRY 175
D.TRY 210
Explanation: The unit price is 70/4 = TRY 17.50. Ten notebooks cost 10×17.50 = TRY 175.
7A scanning station archives 21 records in 35 minutes at a constant working rate. How long will archiving 36 records take if one 10-minute pause occurs during the job?
A.50 minutes
B.60 minutes
C.70 minutes
D.80 minutes
Explanation: The working time is 36×35/21=60 minutes. Adding the stipulated 10-minute pause gives 70 minutes elapsed.
8A class's girls-to-boys ratio is 4:5. After 3 girls and 6 boys join, the ratio is 3:4. How many students were initially in the class?
A.27
B.36
C.45
D.54
Explanation: Let the initial counts be 4k and 5k. Then (4k+3)/(5k+6)=3/4, giving 16k+12=15k+18 and k=6, so the initial total is 54.
9A rectangular panel has a 20 cm diagonal and a 12 cm shorter side. How much trim is needed to go once around its edge?
A.32 cm
B.40 cm
C.56 cm
D.64 cm
Explanation: The other side is √(20²−12²)=√256=16 cm. One complete edge requires the perimeter, 2(12+16)=56 cm.
10Seventy-nine leaflets are sealed into exactly eight packets, each holding either eight or eleven leaflets. How many packets contain eleven leaflets?
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.6
Explanation: Eight packets of eight would hold 64 leaflets. The remaining 79−64=15 require five packets to hold three extra leaflets each, so five packets contain eleven.
