EKPSS is Türkiye’s public personnel selection examination for eligible candidates with disabilities, administered by ÖSYM. Understanding the score begins with the applicant’s education level and the exact recruitment route. The report’s test scores are used within a set of placement rules, while some candidates follow a separate lottery route. Use the EKPSS overview to prepare for the assessed subjects and read the official recruitment guide before selecting a post.
How the standardised result is formed
The ÖSYM EKPSS scoring guide calculates a raw net by subtracting incorrect answers divided by 4 from correct answers. It then creates standard scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. This separates a candidate’s practice answer count from the result produced by the official scoring process.
General Ability includes reasoning and problem-solving work, while General Culture requires knowledge and interpretation across its tested areas. Read practice results by subject and question type before calculating any overall progress trend.
The official guide assigns General Ability and General Culture an equal 0.5 weighting and reports the final result on a 40–100 scale. Standardisation takes the performance of the relevant test group into account, so the displayed official score should be the reference when considering eligibility.
Match the score code to education level
The ÖSYM examination rules label the secondary-school score EKPSSP1, the associate-degree score EKPSSP2 and the undergraduate score EKPSSP3. These codes signal different educational qualifications. When comparing your report to a vacancy, match the announced education requirement and the precise score type before considering the number itself.
A useful eligibility checklist includes the job title, diploma level, qualifying documents and any special conditions in the vacancy. Read the applicable preference guide because the requirements of a particular recruitment round determine which positions can be considered.
Examination and lottery pathways
The official EKPSS guide distinguishes examination-based placements from the separate kura lottery process available to certain eligible applicant groups. This difference concerns the selection procedure, so applicants should confirm their own route and the applicable documentation.
For exam preparation, focus on a recurring error type in reasoning or general knowledge and test the corrected approach with fresh questions. Keep the practice record separate from the official placement information.
