FAQ – Preparatory School
What we aim as the preparatory school is to help our students acquire all four skills in foreign languages and use them in both their academic and business lives. We believe this is of vital importance in an environment of global competition and therefore adopt linguistic skills as part of the İstanbul Medipol University’s educational policy.
There are four tracks in the English Preparatory Program.
There are eight weeks in each track.
The dates of tracks can be checked from the Preparatory School Website at

The elements in the Preparatory Program are;
- a) TA (Teacher Assessments)
- b) TAT (Track Achievement Test)
- c) Projects
- d) MTE (Midtrack exam)
- e) Writing Portfolio
Grading has the components as follows:
- MIDTRACK EXAM (MTE): Each track will have a Midtrack exam that assesses the progress of the students. This exam constitutes 20% of the track score.
- TEACHER ASSESSMENT: Each student is given a weekly TA (Teacher’s Assessment) score by each instructor separately based on the student’s attendance, participation and homework assignments. The average of assessment scores from all teachers of a student constitutes 10% of the track score.
- TRACK ACHIEVEMENT TEST (TAT): At the end of each track, there will be a Track Achievement Test assessing students’ progress. This exam constitutes 40% of the track score.
- PROJECT: These are applications that enable our students to work collectively or individually and on a previously provided subject. Project evaluations comprise 15% of the Track average.
- WRITING PORTFOLIO: It is an collective evaluation of the work they have done to improve our students’ writing skills. Portfolio evaluations comprise 15% of the Track average.
After the mean average of the scores that the students achieve in all four tracks is calculated, 60% of this average point is added to the 40% of the P.L.A.T. exam at the end of the year. If the student’s overall score is higher than 70, the student passes the Preparatory School.
The pass score is 70, which is the 60% of the average scores of the four tracks added to the 40% of the P.L.A.T. exam at the end of the year.
If your absentee rate is above 15% of the classes taught, you can attend summer course but cannot take the P.L.A.T.
