New Question Trends in LGS: Analytical Thinking Takes the Lead

Friday, October 15, 2021

Although the 2021 LGS (High School Entrance Exam) was held under the shadow of the pandemic, it stood out with new question trends. Questions measuring analytical thinking and problem-solving skills changed students’ study habits. In the “Activities and Announcements” section of our website, we thoroughly discuss these trends, their impact on LGS students, and how they lay a foundation for YKS preparation. Let’s explore the new face of LGS.

New Question Trends

On June 6, 2021, 1.2 million students took the LGS. In mathematics and science, more analytical questions stood out compared to previous years. For instance, in science, questions about energy transformations were asked through scenarios linked to daily life. In mathematics, geometry and problem-solving questions required logical reasoning. This shift helps prepare students for analytical questions in the YKS.

What Does It Mean for Students?

Analytical questions test reasoning skills rather than rote memorization. Students must analyze the result of a science experiment or solve multi-step problems in mathematics. This approach makes it easier for LGS students to grasp topics like genetics in Biology or waves in Physics when they move on to YKS preparation.

Preparation Tips

• Practice Analytical Questions: Focus on new-generation science and math questions available on EBA.
• Take Practice Tests: Solve one LGS mock exam per week to get used to the exam format.
• Emphasize Science: Study topics like energy and motion—they build a foundation for Physics in YKS.
• Group Study: Discuss questions with your friends to develop logical thinking skills.

In the 2021 LGS, 174 students achieved a perfect score—those well-prepared for analytical questions stood out with their success.

Parents and Teachers

Parents encouraged their children to use EBA to adapt to the new question types. In 2021, teachers adapted their lessons to align with analytical questioning and simulated science experiments in classrooms.

Final Word

The 2021 LGS challenged students with its analytical thinking trend but also served as preparation for the YKS. The new questions in science and math offer a strong foundation for Biology and Physics. Students, study with EBA. Parents, motivate your children. Teachers, focus on new-generation questions.
