e-YDS 2026/7 Exam Details: Schedule and Question Count for Arabic and Russian

Today, Sunday, June 28, 2026, exam centers in major Turkish cities are hosting candidates for the electronic foreign language exam (e-YDS 2026/7) in the Arabic and Russian fields. This exam, organized by the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center in Turkey (ÖSYM), is considered one of the most prestigious language credentials for academic and employment purposes in the country [1].

Precise Start Time and Entry Restrictions According to the official announcement by ÖSYM, the e-YDS 2026/7 exam will begin exactly at 13:45 local time. One of the most critical points candidates must note is the "no entry after 13:30" rule. Based on this regulation, the doors of the exam centers will be closed exactly 15 minutes before the start of the exam, and under no circumstances will candidates arriving later than this time be allowed to enter [1][2]. It is recommended that candidates be present at the location with valid identification documents at least one hour before the exam starts.

Number of Questions and Response Time The structure of the e-YDS exam is designed to assess candidates' various language skills in a digital environment. The exam consists of 80 multiple-choice questions covering topics such as reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and translation [1]. The time allotted to answer these questions is 180 minutes (3 hours). Given the electronic nature of the exam, candidates can manage their time via the timer available on the screen [2].

Required Documents and Security Warnings To enter the exam session, candidates must bring the "Exam Entry Document" (Sınav Giriş Belgesi) obtained from the AIS ÖSYM system. Additionally, presenting an original valid national ID card or passport is mandatory. Bringing any electronic devices, smartwatches, mobile phones, or even metal jewelry into the exam area is prohibited, and strict security checks are applied at the entrances [3].

Announcement of Exam Results One of the main advantages of electronic exams (e-YDS) compared to paper-based exams is the high speed of result announcements. The results for today's Arabic and Russian exams are expected to be announced late tonight or at the latest by the following morning through the official ÖSYM website. Candidates can view their digital scorecards using their identification number (TC) and password [1]. These results will be immediately verifiable in Turkish academic and administrative systems.
