Abstract:Admission of students to the higher education institutions in Turkey is implemented through a National University Entrance Exam (YGS) and Lisance Placement Exam (LYS) organized by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). Different from the other higher education institutions accepting undergraduate students, when the students are considered for the undergraduate programs of music education departments, a special skills exam is applied by the institution, to which the student applies. Although there are differences between the practice of every individual institution‘s undergraduate program on music education, in its essence, each of these institutions offers a set of courses, the content of which are defined by the Higher Education Council (YÖK). Yet, the exams taken by the candidates of undergraduate programs of music education differ significantly from one institution to another, and the categories of these exams are weighted differently. In this research, the exam booklets distributed to the candidates are taken as the basis. According to the research carried out, it is observed that the Special Skills Raw Grade (ÖYSP) is influenced significantly by the method adopted in weighting categories and subcategories as well as the differences in the implementations.
