ABSTRACT

In our country hundreds of students have been accepted to university programs requiring special qualification by “Special Qualification Tests” which have stages defined by departments/major science divisions every year.

Following the special qualification tests, placement scores have been calculated by applying statistical processes to ÖSS, AOBP and Special Qualification Test Scores of the candidates with specific coefficients.

In this research, it was investigated that whether there are statistically meaningful relations between ÖSS scores of 1015 candidates entering the Special Qualification Test applied in Music Education Major Science Division of Fine Arts Education Department of Education Faculty at Abant İzzet Baysal University last three years and their scores obtained from musical hearing (dictate, decipher, twovoice / threevoice / fourvoive hearing, melody repetition and rhythm repetition), instrument area (482 candidates) and vocal area (482 candidates) that are sub dimension of qualification tests.

In the light of indications obtained, it was determined that there was a positive but low level relation between ÖSS scores and qualification scores of the candidates.
