ÜDS İngilizce sınavı, KPDS İngilizce Sınavında zorlanan çeşitli branşlardaki akademisyenlere kolaylık sağlamak amacıyla ÖSYM tarafından 2000 yılında tasarlanmış ve uygulanmaya başlamıştır. ÜDS İngilizce sınavı, KPDS İngilizce sınavının kısaltılmış halidir.

ÜDS İngilizce sınavı, KPDS İngilizce Sınavından farklı olarak, ÜDS Sosyal Bilimler, ÜDS Fen Bilimleri ve ÜDS Sağlık Bilimleri olmak üzere 3 farklı alandan yapılır.

ÜDS Sosyal Bilimler, ÜDS Fen Bilimleri ve ÜDS Sağlık Bilimleri soruları bu geniş akademik alanlara dahil olan farklı branşlardaki metinlerden alınır. Fakat her ne kadar ÜDS Sosyal Bilimleri Soruları, ÜDS Fen Bilimleri Soruları ve ÜDS Sağlık Bilimleri soruları ilgili altbranşlardan alınsa da, ÜDS sınavları bir akademisyenin veya akademisyen adayının kendi branş bilgisini değil, İngilizce dilbilgisi seviyesini ölçmektedir. Bu durum, ÜDS Sağlık Bilimleri ve ÜDS Fen Bilimleri sınavlarında, sınava giren kişilerin soruların alındığı alan metinlerine olan aşinalığında bariz bir etki yaratmasa da, ÜDS Sosyal Bilimler sınavı pek çok alanı kapsamaktadır.

ÜDS ingilizce sınavı KPDS ingilizce sınavı ile aynı soru formatı ve soru tiplerine sahiptir. Fakat ÜDS İngilizce sınavı, 100 soruluk KPDS sınavının 2 soru tipi çıkarılarak ve soru sayısı azaltılarak 80 soru şeklinde kısalılmasıyla oluşturulur.

KPDS ingilizce sınavında 100 soru varken, ÜDS ingilizce sınavı toplam 80 sorudan oluşmaktadır. Hem ÜDS ingilizce hem de KPDS ingilizce sınav süresi 180 dakikadır. Sonuç olarak, ÜDS ingilizce sınavları, KPDS ingilizce sınavına göre soru sayısı / süre bakımından daha avantajlıdır. Ama ÜDS ingilizce sınavları KPDS ingilizce sınavından daha kolay değildir. Hem ÜDS ingilizce hem de KPDS ingilizce sınav soruları üst-orta İngilizce seviyesindedir.

ÜDS İngilizce Sınavları arasında en zoru, en çok adayın başvurduğu ÜDS Sosyal Bilimler ingilizce sınavıdır. Zorluk bakımından, ÜDS Sosyal Bilimler ingilizce sınavını ÜDS Fen Bilimleri ingilizce sınavı ve ÜDS Sağlık Bilimleri ingilizce sınavı takip eder.

KPDS Kurslarımda hemen hemen her kursiyer şu soruyu sordu: KPDS Sınavında başarı için nasıl bir çalışma yapmalıyım?

KPDS, sınava giren kişilerin İngilizce kelime haznesini, ingilizce gramer bilgisini ve ingilizce okuma anlama becerilerini ölçen bir sınavdır.

KPDS İngilizce Sınavı, sınava girenlerin Genel Kültür ve belirli alanlardaki bilgisini ölçmez.

Bu nedenle, KPDS Sınavında başarı için KPDS Sınavındaki bütün soruları okuyup kafanızda Türkçe’ye çevirmeniz gerektiği düşüncesinden kurtulmanız gerekli. Daha da önemlisi, sizi hayal kırıklığına uğratacak olsam da, KPDS ingilizce sınav soruları mantıkla çözülebilecek sorular değildir. Bu yüzden, her ne kadar İngilizce akademik kelime bilgisi önemli olsa da, KPDS Sınavında başarı için ingilizce kelime ezberlemeniz hiçbir fayda sağlamaz.

KPDS sınavında başarı için İngilizce Dilbilimsel Teknikleri çok iyi öğrenmeli ve sınavda bu dilbilimsel teknikleri kullanmalısınız. Örneğin, benim KPDS Kurslarımdaki Dilbilimsel İngilizce tekniklerimi öğrenerek, İngilizce Kelime Hazneniz yetersiz olsa bile, KPDS Sınavının en zor bölümü olan 25 Okuma Parçası sorusunun en az 15-16 tanesini kolaylıkla cevaplayabilmeyi öğrenirsiniz.

Her dilin olduğu gibi, İngilizce’nin de kendisine özgü dilbilimsel kuralları vardır. KPDS Sınavında başarılı olmak için, bu kuralları öğrenip sentezleyerek yine belirli dilbilimsel stratejiler ışığında soru çözerken kullanmanız gerek. Örneğin, Present Perfect Tense’in have/has V3 yapına sahip olduğunu bilmek hiçbir anlam ifade etmez. Önemli olan, bu tense’in ve diğer 11 tense’in hangi hallerde kullanıldığını ve hangi diğer tense’lerle kullanılabileceğini bilmektir. Sonuç olarak, kpds sınavında başarı için benim ingilizce dilbilimsel formüllerimi öğrenmeli ve uygulamalısınız.

Neden benim KPDS Kurslarıma katılarak kpds sınavında başarı kazanabilirsiniz? Çünkü 32 yıldan beri İngilizce ile haşır neşir olmuş ve Yüksek Lisans-Doktorasını Amerika’da yapmış bir dilbilimci akademisyenim. Ayrıca, TOEFL Sınavını düzenleyen ETS şirketinin Washington, DC ofisinde 2 yıl görev yaptım ve İngilizce Seviye Tespit Sınavları konusunda uzmanlaştım.

KPDS Hazırlık Kurslarımda, Dilbilimsel İngilizce Kurallarını ve Dilbilimsel Soru Çözme Tekniklerini öğretiyorum. Bu yüzden, kursuma katıldığında seviyesi 35 olan bir kursiyerim kurs sonrasında 89 alabiliyor.

Siz de KPDS Sınavında başarı istiyorsanız, benim KPDS kurslarıma katılın!

• to can be used of time and place; till/until of time only. We can use from … to or from . . . till/until: They worked from five to ten/from five till ten. (at five to ten would mean ‘at 9.55′.)

• But if we have no from we use till/until, not to: Let’s start now and work till dark. (to would not be possible here.)

• till/until is often used with a negative verb to emphasize lateness:

We didn’t get home till 2 a.m.

He usually pays me on Friday but last week he didn’t pay me till the following Monday.

• till/until is very often used as a conjunction of time:

• after (preposition) must be followed by a noun, pronoun or gerund:

Don’t bathe immediately after a meal/after eating.

They bathed and afterwards played games/played games afterwards or

They bathed and then played games.

• afterwards can be used at either end of the clause and can be modified by soon, immediately, not long etc.:

D Transport: by, on, get in/into/on/onto/off/out of

The house is on fire! We had better get out! (adverb) It’s difficult to get into a university nowadays.

F Giving directions: at, into, to etc. (prepositions), along, on (prepositions and adverbs) and till (conjunction):

* Be careful not to confuse to and till.

VII. AT, IN; IN, INTO; ON, ONTO

A at and in

• At: We can be at home, at work, at the office, at school, at university, at an address, at a certain point e.g. at the bridge, at the crossroads, at the bus-stop.

• In: We can be in a country, a town, a village, a square, a street, a room, a forest, a wood, a field, a desert or any place which has boundaries or is enclosed.

• But a small area such as a square, a street, a room, a field might be used with at when we mean ‘at this point’ rather than ‘inside’.

• We can be in or at a building, in means inside only; at could mean inside or in the grounds or just outside. If someone is ‘at the station’ he could be in the street outside, or in the ticket office/waiting room/restaurant or on the platform.

• We can be in or at the sea, a river, lake, swimming pool etc. in here means actually in the water:

The children are swimming in the river.

• at the sea/river/lake etc. means ‘near/beside the sea’. But at sea means ‘on a ship’.

B in and into

• in as shown above normally indicates position. into indicates movement, entrance:

They climbed into the lorry. I poured the beer into a tankard.

Thieves broke into my house/My house was broken into.

• with the verb put, however, either in or into can be used:

He put his hands in/into his pockets.

• in can also be an adverb: Come in = Enter. Get in (into the car).

C on and onto

• on can be used for both position and movement:

He was sitting on his case. Snow fell on the hills.

His name is on the door. He went on board ship.

• onto can be used (chiefly of people and animals) when there is movement involving a change of level:

People climbed onto their roofs. We lifted him onto the table.

The cat jumped onto the mantelpiece.

• on can also be an adverb: Go on. Come on.

VIII. ABOVE, OVER, UNDER, BELOW, BENEATH ETC.

A above and over

• above (preposition and adverb) and over (preposition) can both mean ‘higher than’ and sometimes either can be used:

The helicopter hovered above/over us. Flags waved above/over our heads.

• But over can also mean ‘covering’, ‘on the other side of, ‘across’ and ‘from one side to the other’:

We put a rug over him. He lives over the mountains. There is a bridge over the river.

• all over + noun/pronoun can mean ‘in every part of: He has friends all over the world.

• above can have none of these meanings.

• over can mean ‘more than’ or ‘higher than’.

• above can mean ‘higher than’ only.

• Both can mean ‘higher in rank’. But He is over me would normally mean ‘He is my immediate superior’, ‘He supervises my work’, above would not necessarily have this meaning.

• If we have a bridge over a river, above the bridge means ‘upstream’.

• over can be used with meals/food/drink: They had a chat over a cup of tea. (while drinking tea)

• In the combination take + a time expression + over + noun/pronoun, over can mean ‘to do/finish’ etc.: He doesn’t take long over lunch/to eat his lunch.

He took ages over the job. (He took ages to finish it.)

• above can also be an adjective or adverb meaning ‘earlier’ (in a book, article etc.):

the above address (the previously mentioned address)

B below and under

• below (preposition and adverb) and under (preposition) can both mean ‘lower than’ and sometimes either can be used. But under can indicate contact:

She put the letter under her pillow. The ice crackled under his feet.

• With below there is usually a space between the two surfaces: They live below us. (We live on the fourth floor and they live on the third.)

• Similarly: We live above them. (See A above.)

• below and under can mean ‘junior in rank’. But He is under me implies that I am his immediate superior, below does not necessarily have this meaning. (Both over and under can be used as adverbs, but with a change of meaning.)

C beneath can sometimes be used instead of under, but it is safer to keep it for abstract meanings:

He would think it beneath him to tell a lie. (unworthy of him) She married beneath her. (into a lower social class)

D beside, between, behind, in front of, opposite

• Imagine a theatre with rows of seats: A, B, C etc., Row A being nearest the stage.

		STAGE
Row A	Tom	Ann	Bill
Row B	Mary	Bob	Jane

• This means that:

Tom is beside Ann; Mary is beside Bob etc.

Ann is between Tom and Bill; Bob is between Mary and Jane.

Mary is behind Tom; Tom is in front of Mary.

• But if Tom and Mary are having a meal and Tom is sitting at one side of the table and Mary at the other, we do not use in front of, but say:

Tom is sitting opposite Mary or Tom is facing Mary. But He stood in front of me could mean either ‘He stood with his back to me’ or ‘He faced me’.

• People living on one side of a street will talk of the houses on the other side as the houses opposite (us) rather than the houses in front of us. With other things, however, these restrictions do not apply:

She put the plate on the table in front of him. She sat with a book in front of her.

Where’s the bank? ~ There it is, just in front of you!

There’s a car-park in front of/at the back of the hotel.

E Don’t confuse beside with besides. beside = at the side of: We camped beside a lake.

• besides (preposition) = in addition to/as well as:

I do all the cooking and besides that I help Tom.

Besides doing the cooking I help Tom.

• besides (adverb) means (a) ‘in addition to that/as well as that’:

I do the cooking and help Tom besides and (b) ‘in any case/anyway’:

We can’t afford oysters. Besides, Tom doesn’t like them.

F between and among

• between normally relates a person/thing to two other people/things, but it can be used of more when we have a definite number in mind:

Luxembourg lies between Belgium, Germany and France.

• among relates a person/thing to more than two others; normally we have no definite number in mind: He was happy to be among friends again. a village among the hills

G with could also be used instead of among in the last sentence above. Also, of course, with a singular object: He was with a friend.

• Examples of other uses: He cut it with a knife. Don’t touch it with bare hands.

The mountains were covered with snow. I have no money with me/on me.

He fought/quarreled with everyone.

• In descriptions: the girl with red hair the boy with his hands in his pockets

the man with his back to the camera/with his feet on his desk

H but and except (prepositions)

• These have the same meaning and are interchangeable.

• but is more usual when the preposition + object is placed immediately after nobody/none/nothing/nowhere etc: Nobody but Tom knew the way.

Nothing but the best is sold in our shops.

• except is more usual when the preposition phrase comes later in the sentence:

Nobody knew the way except Tom

• and after all/everybody/everyone/everything/everywhere etc. but is more emphatic than except after anybody/anything/ anywhere etc.:

You can park anywhere but/except here. (You can’t park here.)

• but and except take the bare infinitive.

They persisted in defying the law.

When arguments failed he resorted to threats.

• Notice also feel like + noun/pronoun = feel inclined to have something:

Do you feel like a drink/a meal/a rest?

• feel like + gerund = feel inclined to do something: I don’t feel like walking there.

• Passive verbs can of course be followed by by + agent; but they can also be followed by other prepositions:

The referee was booed by the crowd.

The referee was booed for his decision/for awarding a penalty.

XI. GERUNDS AFTER PREPOSITIONS

A Verbs placed immediately after prepositions must be in the gerund form:

He left without paying his bill.

I apologize for not writing before.

She insisted on paying for herself.

Before signing the contract, read the small print.

• A few noun + preposition + gerund combinations may also be noted:

There’s no point in taking your car if you can’t park.

What’s the point of taking your car if you can’t park?

Is there any chance/likelihood of his changing his mind?

Have you any objection to changing your working hours?

I am in favor of giving everyone a day off.

B The only exceptions to the gerund rule are except and but (preposition), which take the bare infinitive:

I could do nothing except agree.

He did nothing but complain.

• However, if but is used as a conjunction, it can be followed directly by either full infinitive or gerund:

Being idle sometimes is agreeable, but being idle all the time might become monotonous.

To be idle sometimes is agreeable, but to be idle all the time etc.

XII. PREPOSITIONS/ADVERBS

• Many words can be used as either prepositions or adverbs:

He got off the bus at the corner. (preposition)

He got off at the corner. (adverb)

• The most important of these are above, about, across, along, before, behind, below, besides, by, down, in, near, off, on, over, past, round, since, through, under, up:

They were here before six. (preposition) He has done this sort of work before. (adverb)

Peter is behind us. (preposition)

He’s a long way behind, (adverb)

She climbed over the wall. (preposition) You’ll have to climb over too. (adverb)

When the meeting was over the delegates went home. (adverb; here over = finished)

The shop is just round the corner. (preposition)

Come round (to my house) any evening. (adverb)

He ran up the stairs. (preposition)

He went up in the lift. (adverb)

• Many of these words are used to form phrasal verbs:

The plane took off. (left the ground)

He came round, (recovered consciousness)
