ÖSYM Cancels Question and Changes Answer Key for Turkey's YKS 2026

The Assessment, Selection and Placement Center in Turkey (ÖSYM) has released an official statement regarding the results of scientific reviews and objections related to the national university entrance exam (YKS 2026). According to this report, during the final evaluation phase of the answer sheets, one question was canceled and the correct answer for another question was changed [1].

Details of Question Cancellation and Changes in the AYT Exam According to the official announcement, the changes apply to the Field Qualification Test (AYT) held in late June 2026. In the basic question booklet, Mathematics question number 23, which previously had option "C" recorded as the correct answer, was changed to option "A" after re-evaluation [3].

Additionally, in the "Turkish Language and Literature - Social Sciences 1" section, question number 20 was completely canceled due to scientific and technical errors [2]. This decision was made after expert scientific committees conducted a detailed review of candidate objections and statistical analysis of the questions [1].

How Scores are Calculated After Question Cancellation Many candidates and their families are concerned about the impact of these changes on final rankings and scores. According to Article 3.10.1 of the YKS 2026 candidate manual, questions canceled by ÖSYM or judicial authorities are removed from the evaluation cycle, and their points are distributed among the other valid questions of the same subject based on specific formulas [3][4]. This process ensures that the removal of a question does not compromise educational fairness or the final ranking of candidates.

Final Results Date for YKS 2026 With the finalization of the answer keys and the implementation of the new changes, the process of grading answer sheets via optical systems has entered its final stage. According to the official ÖSYM calendar, the final results of the 2026 Turkish university entrance exam for all candidates will be announced on July 22, 2026 [4].

On the specified date, candidates can visit the official results portal at sonuc.osym.gov.tr and enter their Identification Number (TC) and password to view their report cards containing raw scores, scaled scores, and national rankings [1][2]. Educational experts recommend that candidates update their estimates using the new final key until the results are officially announced.
