- If you scored 200 or above in the 2020-TYT, those who wish to use their 2020-TYT score for 2021-YKS placement without entering any session of the 2021-YKS will pay 25 TL as the 2020-YKS Application Fee.
- Those who wish to be placed in a program with SAY, SÖZ, EA, or DİL scores in 2021-YKS (even if their 2020-TYT score is 200 or above) must apply for the 2021-AYT and/or 2021-YDT sessions and pay the exam fee.
