In the 2017-2018 educational year, the university’s entry exam system, which is now called the Higher Education Introduction Exam (YGS) and the Licensing Placement Exam (LYS), is changed by changing the university’s entry exam system, which is already called the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS). Not only the name of the university entrance exam system, but also the number of sessions in the exam, the exam dates, the number of questions and the distribution of questions according to branches. The exam consists of two sessions: the Basic Qualification Test (TYT) and the Field Qualification Test (AYT). In this context, the purpose of this study is to expose the views of high school 12th grade students on the changing exam system and to evaluate the university entrance exam system in this context. The study is a qualitative research and the data is obtained through a semi-configured interview form. The data of the study was analyzed using the content analysis technique. According to the results of the study, the changes made during the education and teaching period can be said to cause anxiety and stress on students from time to time, but the application of the exam in a later date is positively welcomed by students. The results of the study are included in other situations that students perceive positively and negatively.
