What students and teachers say

Real feedback from students and educators using StudyPulse to improve their results.

I wish this existed when I did VCE. I wasted so much time figuring out mistakes, but StudyPulse does it instantly. The mark breakdowns are exactly what you need to improve. Would've saved me hours of stress.

Abby Student, Mount Scopus

Honestly the best study tool I've used for VCE, the AI marking is insanely helpful and the mark breakdowns make it easy to see where I can improve. Definitely recommend for anyone trying to up their study scores!

Elliott Student, Carey Grammar

Extremely impressed with the AI feedback, the mark breakdowns are so helpful. I actually don't know how you made it so effective and there is nothing to improve in my books. All the UI is amazing.

Henry Student, Camberwell High School

I haven't seen anything like this before. The feedback is detailed, and it actually tells me what to fix. This is going to be so helpful for my 3/4 subjects this year.

Daniel Student, Trinity Grammar

StudyPulse has completely changed how I prepare for SACs. Instead of guessing what the examiner wants, I get specific feedback on every answer. My marks have gone up in every subject since I started using it.

Sarah Student, Year 12

The essay marker is a game changer for English. Students submit their analytical essays and get detailed feedback on structure, evidence use, and metalanguage in seconds. It's like having an extra teacher in the room.

Ms. Richardson Teacher, VCE English

My students used to wait days for me to return practice exams. Now they get instant feedback on every question through StudyPulse. I can see from the dashboard exactly who needs help, and my marking load has dropped significantly.

Mr. Chen Teacher, VCE Business Management

YKS – Common questions

We're actively building out YKS coverage. Leave your email above and you'll be the first to know when it launches.
StudyPulse covers 33 YKS subjects across Lise 4. Each subject has questions sourced from real past papers with marking calibrated to the official YKS mark schemes.
Yes, there's a free tier with 3 daily practice submissions, basic AI feedback, 15 AI Tutor messages, and leaderboard access. Premium unlocks 1,000 daily submissions, full question bank access, advanced feedback, handwritten answer scanning, and essay marking from $20/month.
Our AI is trained specifically on YKS mark schemes and examiner reports from Turkey. It understands the precise language and criteria examiners use, so feedback is accurate and actionable, not generic advice that could apply to any curriculum.
Yes, one account works across all 60+ curricula we support. Your progress, streaks, and subscription carry over automatically between curricula.
The YKS (Yuksekogretim Kurumlari Sinavi) has two main sessions. The TYT (Temel Yeterlilik Testi) is the Basic Proficiency Test with 120 questions in 165 minutes covering Turkish (40 questions), Basic Mathematics (40), Social Sciences (20), and Science (20). The AYT (Alan Yeterlilik Testi) is the Field Proficiency Test with 160 questions in 180 minutes covering Mathematics, Science, Turkish Literature, History, Geography, and Philosophy. There is also an optional YDT (Foreign Language Test) with 80 questions in 120 minutes, available in English, German, French, Arabic, or Russian.
Your university placement score combines TYT (40%) and AYT (60%) results. On top of that, your high-school diploma grade is converted into a Secondary Education Achievement Score (OBP) by multiplying your diploma grade (out of 100) by 5, producing a score between 250 and 500. Roughly 12% of the OBP is added to your exam-based placement score. The final placement score determines your ranking for university program preferences.
OSYM calculates four weighted placement score types from your TYT and AYT results. SAY (Sayisal) emphasizes mathematics and science for engineering and science programs. SOZ (Sozel) emphasizes Turkish literature, history, and social sciences for humanities and law. EA (Esit Agirlik) is an equal-weight blend of quantitative and verbal scores for business, economics, and education programs. DIL (Dil) is based on the YDT foreign language test for translation and language programs.
Turkey's Council of Higher Education (YOK) removed the previous threshold scores of 150 for TYT and 180 for AYT/YDT for choosing associate and undergraduate programs. However, you still need a raw score of at least 0.5 in Basic Mathematics or Turkish on the TYT for your score to be calculated. Additionally, minimum rank-of-success requirements still apply for competitive programs such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law, architecture, engineering, and teaching.
The YKS uses negative marking. For every four incorrect answers, one correct answer is subtracted from your raw score. Specifically, your raw score equals the number of correct answers minus one-quarter of the number of wrong answers. Unanswered questions carry no penalty, so leaving a question blank is safer than guessing randomly.
After results are released by OSYM, students submit a preference list of up to 24 university programs ranked in order of priority. OSYM then runs a centralized placement algorithm that matches students to programs based on their placement score, their preference order, and each program's available seats. Higher-ranked preferences are tried first, and you are placed into the highest preference your score qualifies for. Students who are not placed can try again the following year.
