Özet

The interest in Physical Education and Sports Departments in Turkey is increasing every

year and the number of faculties and colleges providing education in this field is

increasing day by day. Special aptitude exams are held for student recruitment and the

physical abilities of the candidates are tested in these exams. In Sivas Cumhuriyet

University, the School of Physical Education and Sports was transformed into the Faculty

of Sports Sciences. There are Physical Education and Sports Teaching, Coaching

Education, and Sports Management departments within the faculty. Student admission

is done by special aptitude exam every year. In recent years, there has not been a unity in

the examinations of Physical Education and Sports Schools throughout Turkey, so there

is a need for a scientific evaluation of the examination systems. In this study, the accuracy

of different exam systems in our country is investigated and the effect of exam parameters

on passing the exam is examined.
