Common failure modes

These are the patterns that cause most candidates to lose marks on this topic. Recognising them in advance is half the work.

  • !Confusing the Six Arrows of Kemalism (Altı Ok): Republicanism, Nationalism, Populism, Statism, Secularism, Revolutionism
  • !Not knowing the philosophers and their key works/ideas for basic philosophy questions
  • !Missing specific dates or agreements related to Atatürk's reforms

Study tips

  • 1Memorize the Six Arrows of Kemalism and what each principle means in practice.
  • 2For philosophy: know the key philosophers and their doctrines: Aristo, Platon, Kant, Descartes and their Turkish significance.
  • 3Study the key dates and agreements of the Turkish War of Independence: Mudanya, Lozan.
  • 4For NCLEX-RN: NYSED is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a NY licence does not transfer to other states without endorsement. Consider this if you plan to work in NJ/CT after graduating.
  • 5For MCAT: most NY medical schools (Columbia, Cornell, Mount Sinai, NYU) cap MCAT scores accepted at 3 years old — verify your target schools' exact policy.
  • 6For CDL: NY DMV requires a 14-day permit-holding period before scheduling the CDL skills test; budget this gap into your training schedule.
