On DGS, reasoning questions are learned by seeing the solution, not by memorising

DGS — Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS)

DGS is a single-session exam for associate-degree graduates transferring to bachelor programmes. It leans on quantitative and verbal reasoning: it measures the ability to recognise a question type rather than recall facts — exactly the kind of thing learned by seeing the solution.

DGS — Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS)

DGS is a single-session exam for associate-degree graduates transferring into bachelor programmes. It has two parts, quantitative and verbal. It differs from the other exams in one important way: DGS mostly measures reasoning rather than recall. The quantitative part is about using mathematical relationships; the verbal part leans on paragraph comprehension and verbal logic.

That difference changes how you prepare. Because there is no syllabus to finish, the "get through the topics" approach does not work here. What decides it is recognising the question type. The same piece of reasoning comes back in different disguises; once you have genuinely seen it, the rest get easier, and until you do you keep making the same mistake on different questions.

This is exactly where Tilki AI earns its place on DGS. When you send a reasoning or paragraph question you are stuck on, the app does not just name the right option; it shows how that type of question is solved, step by step and visually. Tilki Koç catches statistically which type keeps stopping you — on an exam built from recurring patterns, that alone is a direction to work in.

Where the time goes on this exam

  • Repeating the same mistake across different questions without recognising the type
  • Not being able to work out where you went wrong on paragraph and reasoning questions
  • Using limited time badly while studying after graduation

What Tilki does for this exam

  • Send the reasoning or paragraph question you are stuck on; Tilki recognises it, identifies its topic and solves it step by step.
  • The video walkthrough shows the logic of the question type, not just the answer — that is the part that helps next time.
  • Tilki Koç catches, statistically, which question type keeps stopping you.

DGS · Frequently Asked Questions

On DGS, should I study topics or solve questions?
If you have gaps in basic mathematics you have to close those first; there is no shortcut around it. But once that base is there, progress on DGS comes largely from solving questions and understanding the reasoning behind the ones you could not. That second part is what the app focuses on.
Does it help with paragraph questions too?
Yes. When you send a paragraph question, the walkthrough shows which sentence in the text decides the answer and where the distractors come in. The most common paragraph mistake is choosing what sounds right rather than what the text says, and the explanation is built around that.
Can I take mock exams in the app?
No. Tilki AI is not a mock exam platform. You keep taking mocks wherever you take them now; the app picks up the questions you got stuck on, whether in a mock or while studying. That is the point: you already know which question you could not do — what is missing is why.
Does it teach the syllabus?
There are no lecture videos that teach a topic from scratch. The app works from the question: it walks through the solution step by step with a video, and explains the rule and the reasoning it rests on. If you have never seen the topic before, study it from your source first and bring the question you get stuck on here.
