DGS Transfer Scores and Associate Degree Achievement

The Dikey Geçiş Sınavı, usually called DGS, supports vertical transfer from an associate degree to an eligible bachelor’s programme in Türkiye. A score report should be read alongside the student’s previous qualification and the receiving programme’s admission route. Use the DGS exam overview for preparation details and keep the official guide open when reviewing the result.

Separate question counts from the transfer score

According to ÖSYM’s DGS guide, the examination assesses quantitative and verbal reasoning. Raw net is calculated by subtracting incorrect answers divided by 4 from the number answered correctly. ÖSYM then standardises the test results. Practice totals can help you see whether reasoning accuracy improved; the official DGS result expresses that performance through the prescribed scoring process.

Quantitative reasoning and verbal reasoning can reveal different kinds of weaknesses. In quantitative questions, check whether you interpreted the information and selected a sound calculation method. In verbal questions, consider whether an argument, assumption or relationship was understood accurately. Record the error type as well as the result so revision targets an identifiable skill.

The associate-degree component

The official DGS candidate guide also includes ÖBP, the associate-degree achievement score derived from earlier tertiary study. It contributes under the published transfer formula. This matters because candidates with similar examination performance may receive different final DGS results after the relevant academic-achievement information is applied.

When reading the result document, distinguish the test-related scores from the final score used for the applicable admission route. Check the calculation details and the academic data used, then compare programme options based on the exact scoring category required.

Check the eligible transfer pathway first

The ÖSYM DGS guide directory provides current documentation, including the mapping from associate-degree graduation areas to bachelor’s programmes that accept transfers. A degree title that appears similar to your previous field may still have a different formal eligibility rule. Read the official mapping before treating any earlier admission result as relevant.

For practical planning, keep an eligibility checklist beside a preference list. Note the official programme title, entry conditions and the year of any historical comparison. Then select a revision priority in either quantitative problem solving or verbal reasoning based on the latest practice session.
