UDSP 2027 exam date: 24 April 2027 — application, admission document and results calendar

Q: When is the 2027 UDSP exam?

According to MEB's 2027 Exam Calendar, on Saturday 24 April 2027 as a paper-based exam. The start time comes with the guide; in 2026 the exam began at 10:00.

Q: When do 2027 UDSP applications open?

Not announced yet. In 2026 applications ran in a 12-day window about six weeks before the exam (11–22 May); if the same gap holds, 2027 applications are expected in March. Exact dates come with MEB's guide.

Q: How many times a year is the UDSP held?

The 2026 and 2027 calendars each list one sitting. Because a result is valid for two years, a 70+ score from 2027 can also be used for 2028–2029 enrolments.

Q: Where is the exam held?

In centres in all 81 provinces, at schools MEB designates. The centre and room are printed on the admission document; choosing another province depends on the guide's rules.

Q: What if I do not reach the 70 threshold?

The student can sit the next session, but with one sitting a year, enrolment in the international programme may slip by a year. That is why starting early to clear the threshold at the first attempt matters.

Q: Which schools require the UDSP?

Required from 2026-2027 to enrol in international programmes — IB Diploma, AP, Abitur, A-Level, IGCSE — at MEB-affiliated schools. See the UDSP schools guide for the list.

According to the 2027 Exam Calendar MEB published on 30 October 2026, the Foreign Language Proficiency Exam for International Diploma and Certificate Programmes (UDSP) will be held on Saturday 24 April 2027. Compared with the June sitting of 2026 the exam moves two months earlier, which moves the prep plan earlier too. Application dates will follow in the guide; this page is updated as MEB announces them.

The 2027 UDSP calendar

The exam date comes from the 2027 calendar of MEB's Directorate General for Measurement, Evaluation and Exam Services; the other steps are expected windows based on the gaps in the 2026 guide and are confirmed when the guide is published.

Step	Date	Status
Exam day	Saturday 24 April 2027 (paper-based)	Confirmed in MEB's calendar
Application window	Expected: March 2027 (in 2026 it opened ~6 weeks before the exam for 12 days)	To be announced with the guide
Admission document	Expected: 5 days before the exam (22 June → 27 June in 2026)	To be announced with the guide
Results	Expected: ~3 weeks after the exam, May 2027 (20 July in 2026)	To be announced with the guide

In 2026 the exam was first announced for 4 July and then moved to 27 June 2026; applications ran 11–22 May, admission documents were issued on 22 June and results came out on 20 July. Moving the 2027 exam to April means results arrive well before schools register students for international programmes, which eases the calendar for students entering grade 9.

How to apply for the UDSP

Wait for the guide. MEB announces the application dates and conditions in a guide published a few weeks before the exam. Applications go through the student's school or the electronic system named in the guide; in 2026 they ran through e-Okul / MEB's exam system.
Choose the exam language. The exam is taken in the language of the international programme the student will join; the choice is declared from the options in the guide.
Pay the fee and confirm. The fee and payment channel are in the guide; an unpaid application is void.
Download the admission document. It is published a few days before the exam and names the centre and room. Bring it with a photo ID.

The window is short (12 days in 2026). Contacting the school's international programme coordinator in February removes the risk of missing it.
