1. You do not have to fill out the entire preference

When candidates log in to the preference screen, they have 24 ÖSYM preferences. However, you do not have to fill them all. A correctly created list will be enough for you to settle.

2. Make a Choice According to Ranking, Not by Score

The biggest mistake of most students is to choose according to the score, not the ranking. However, the situation is the opposite. You should be based on the ranking of the students who are placed in the department of your choice.

3. Prospective Students Should Read Special Conditions

While deciding on the department they want to choose, university candidates should definitely examine the special conditions and explanations section in the guide shared by ÖSYM.

4. Do Not Mix TYT and AYT Results

Another critical point is the correct evaluation of TYT and AYT results. Candidates who pass the threshold in the first exam, TYT, can apply to 2-year associate degree programs, and those who pass the AYT threshold can apply to 4-year undergraduate and graduate programs.

5. Do not write the department you do not want just because you have enough points

One of the biggest mistakes that prospective students make is to turn to more popular departments because their score is enough, even though they do not want to. It is of great importance to make a choice knowing that you will do the profession you choose for many years.
