Exam English: YDS, SAT, TOEFL and IELTS Preparation

Getting a score in an exam is a separate skill from knowing the language. Two students at the same level can have very different outcomes: one may run out of time while the other reaches the target score. While improving your language level in one-on-one preparation, you also study the logic of the exam itself: getting to know the question types, dividing the time and systematically reading your mistakes.

Let’s identify your level and goal

Which exams can you prepare for?

Each exam has its own question logic, scoring structure and time pressure. Preparation is shaped accordingly.

YDS

The ÖSYM format, with an emphasis on vocabulary, grammar, translation and reading. Time management and depth of vocabulary are decisive in paragraph questions.

SAT

Preparation for the Reading and Writing sections, focusing on quickly analysing the question stem and building the habit of eliminating options.

TOEFL

All Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking sections are covered. Note-taking techniques and producing structured answers without setting up a template come to the fore.

IELTS

All four skills in the Academic and General Training formats. Writing Tasks 1 and 2 and the Speaking section are studied according to the evaluation criteria.

How is the preparation progressing?

Preparation begins with level assessment. Once your target score and available time are clarified, the weekly plan is established accordingly.

Question type analysis

You study what each question type in the exam measures and which solution method gives faster results.

Time management

You create a time plan on a section-by-section basis: it becomes clear how long you will stay on which question and where you should pass.

Practice-exam and error analysis

Solving practice exams alone is not enough. You separate the cause of each mistake: lack of knowledge, attention, time?

Regular progress tracking

You track your progress not by looking at a single trial result, but by looking at trends over time.

Get started with free trials

The quickest way to see where you stand is to do a trial run. In the free mini trial of 20 questions prepared in the real exam format for YDS, it includes questions from all ten sections; at the end, you see your score, ÖSYM band and a section-by-section analysis. You can also take a free Reading & Writing-focused SAT mini practice exam.

Who is it suitable for?

People with a target score

Those who need a certain score to apply and want to use their time efficiently.

People who have taken the exam before and got stuck

Those who took the exam but did not get the score they expected and want to solve their stuck point.

People planning from scratch

Those who have not yet decided which exam, when and how to prepare.

Sık sorulan sorular

How long does it take to prepare for YDS?

This depends entirely on your current level and target score. In general, meaningful progress can be achieved with a regular preparation period of 2-4 months. We create a special timeline for you at the first meeting.

What level do I need to be for exam preparation?

There is no specific lower limit. If you are at a beginner level, we create a plan that focuses on establishing the language foundation first, and if you are at an advanced level, we focus directly on the exam strategy.

Can I prepare for more than one exam at the same time?

The exams have common skills, but their question logic is different. Generally, it is more efficient to prioritize one exam and support the other through common skills; we determine this together according to your goals.

How are the lessons taught?

Lessons are one-on-one and live. At the end of each lesson, it becomes clear what you have studied and what you will focus on until the next lesson.
