Reading, which is a language skill that an individual first learns at school and uses throughout his/her life, is a high-level skill that includes understanding, interpreting, criticizing, and evaluating as well as seeing and vocalizing the texts. Especially today, with the development of technology, the importance of reading skills has increased, and its scope and quality have also changed. This study aims to determine how well the Turkish questions of LGS (High School Entrance System) between the years 2018-2021 are compatible with the reading levels of PISA. The document analysis method was used in the research, which was designed with a qualitative approach.
