Score and ranking guide
Frequently asked questions about nets, scores, OBP and ranking in YKS.
How are nets calculated in YKS?
Net = number of correct answers − number of wrong answers ÷ 4. So four wrong answers cancel one correct answer. Blank questions do not affect the net. For example, 30 correct and 8 wrong gives 30 − 2 = 28.
How many questions are there in TYT?
TYT has 120 questions: Turkish 40, Basic Mathematics 40, Social Sciences 20 and Natural Sciences 20. The net of each test is calculated separately.
How is the TYT score calculated?
The net of each test is multiplied by that year's coefficient and the total is added to a fixed score. The weights set by ÖSYM are Turkish 33%, Basic Mathematics 33%, Social Sciences 17% and Natural Sciences 17%. The raw score stays between 100 and 500.
How are SAY, EA, SÖZ and DİL scores found?
These score types use TYT and AYT nets together. In 2026, SAY weights TYT 40%, AYT Mathematics 30% and Physics, Chemistry and Biology 10% each. EA weights TYT 40%, Mathematics 30%, Turkish Language and Literature 18%, History-1 7% and Geography-1 5%. DİL weights TYT 40% and Foreign Language 60%.
What is the threshold (baraj)?
At least 0.5 net in the tests is required to calculate a weighted score. For the TYT score you must have 0.5 net in Turkish or Basic Mathematics; for AYT score types, 0.5 net in at least one of the relevant tests. If you do not pass the threshold, that score type is not calculated.
How does OBP (diploma grade) count towards the score?
The diploma grade is multiplied by 5 to become the secondary education achievement score (OBP). OBP is multiplied by 0.12 and added to the raw score; this is the placement score. The upper limit is 60 points. If you were placed in a program the previous year, the coefficient is halved (0.06).
What is the vocational high school extra score?
When vocational high school graduates choose programs related to their field, an extra coefficient applies to their OBP. The conditions are published in the ÖSYM guide each year. When you turn this option on in sınavlab, the extra-points result is shown separately; check the guide to see whether it applies to you.
How is the ranking estimated?
After the exam each year ÖSYM publishes distribution tables showing the number of candidates by score. We look at which rank your score corresponds to in this table. sınavlab uses the 2026 YKS distribution. The first few thousand ranks and very extreme scores are approximate.
Why does the ranking differ every year?
The same net can give a different score and ranking each year, because ÖSYM standardises the score by the average and distribution of the candidates who take the exam; when the difficulty and the number of candidates change, the coefficients and ranking change too.
Is sınavlab's calculation the same as the official result?
No, it is an estimate. ÖSYM does not publish the coefficients; sınavlab uses values that match independent calculators. The official score and ranking are only in ÖSYM's result document.
Can I save the result I calculated?
If you are logged in you can save the result. Your practice exams are listed on the Score calculator page and the change in ranking compared with your previous exam is shown for each score type. You can delete records at any time.
