e-TEP Past Papers: Do They Exist?
Short answer: there is no published archive of e-TEP past papers. The e-TEP is a new exam, and ÖSYM does not publish full exam booklets for it as it does for the YDS (as of the date this page was updated).
So what are the “e-TEP past papers” online?
Content shared under that name is usually one of these:
- Questions that candidates reconstructed from memory, often incomplete or wrong,
- Copies of sample questions that ÖSYM shared to introduce the exam,
- Questions from other exams (YDS, YÖKDİL, IELTS and so on) that do not match the e-TEP.
Practising with them is not harmful, but it can be misleading: the e-TEP tests four skills, and its question types are very different from the YDS. ÖSYM also holds the copyright of its questions, so be careful with “booklets” shared without permission.

What to do instead
The best preparation is to answer questions in the same format and with the same timing as the real exam. Everything on this site was written for that:
- 10 full practice tests: reading, listening, speaking and writing with real timing.
- 40 skill sets: to focus on one part.
- Sample questions: a few questions from each part, with answers.
