The Ministry of National Education (MEB) has decided to switch middle schools and high schools to a Common Written Exam System. Under the new system, exams will use open-ended questions.

Who will prepare the questions?

Teachers will prepare two of the exam questions. The remaining questions will be selected from MEB's question pool. Teachers will also set the easy, medium and hard levels of the questions, as well as their points. The question pool will be opened to teachers 4 days before the exam.

Which grades are covered?

The system will apply to grades 5, 6 and 7 in middle school and grades 9, 10 and 11 in high school. English courses in grades 7 and 11 will be outside the scope.

There are also plans to integrate AI-assisted question writing and the scoring of open-ended questions into the system.
