How long is YKS preparation on YouTube? 15 free courses, measured
Updated 2026-10-29 · 7 min read
The AYT courses for a sayısal score take 244 to 334 hours to watch on YouTube. We measured the fifteen TYT and AYT courses on our YKS list on 29 October 2026, counting every video to the last: one course each for AYT matematik, fizik, kimya, biyoloji and geometri comes to 244 hours with the lightest choices and 334 with the heaviest. The fifteen together are 785 hours over 1,866 videos.
With TYT Türkçe, fizik and kimya added, the lighter route is 359 hours, 239 at 1.5×: about an hour a day at 1.5× from now until June. And the kamp names are not a promise of an hour a day: Mert Hoca's 90 Günde AYT Matematik is 119 hours, 79 minutes a day for its 90 days, while Celal Hoca's 55 Günde AYT Kimya needs 41.
Every course, measured
Ranked by total. "1.5×" is the total watched at one and a half times speed, and "Avg" the average video.
| Course | Videos | Total | 1.5× | Avg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AYT Mat, Mert | 183 | 119 h | 79 h | 39m |
| Tarih, Retro | 166 | 102 h | 68 h | 37m |
| AYT Kim, Ferrum | 166 | 81 h | 54 h | 29m |
| AYT Mat, Eyüp | 273 | 77 h | 51 h | 17m |
| AYT Fiz, Özcan | 177 | 75 h | 50 h | 26m |
| TYT Fiz, Özcan | 119 | 55 h | 37 h | 28m |
| AYT Kim, Görkem | 71 | 46 h | 30 h | 39m |
| TYT Tarih, Aycan | 140 | 39 h | 26 h | 17m |
| AYT Kim, Celal | 69 | 37 h | 25 h | 33m |
| TYT Kim, Ferrum | 93 | 36 h | 24 h | 23m |
| AYT Bio, Dr. Bio | 101 | 30 h | 20 h | 18m |
| Geometri, Eren | 109 | 28 h | 19 h | 15m |
| AYT Bio, Aras | 98 | 27 h | 18 h | 16m |
| Türkçe, Aker | 71 | 23 h | 15 h | 20m |
| Edebiyat, Aker | 30 | 10 h | 7 h | 20m |
Totals are rounded to the hour. Mert is Mert Hoca, Retro is Mehmet Celal Özyıldız on Retro Yayıncılık, Eyüp is Eyüp Boncuk and Eren is Eren Kesim on 3D Yayınları, Özcan is Özcan Aykın, Görkem is Görkem Şahin on Benim Hocam, Aycan is Aycan Söylemez and Aras is Aras Tuğcu on 3D, Celal is Celal Hoca, Dr. Bio is Dr. Biyoloji, and Aker is Aker Kartal on Retro. None of the fifteen has a private or deleted video. Each course name opens its live page, where the total is current and you can tick off what you have watched. The same courses are on our list of free YKS courses, with what each covers.
The kamp courses: minutes a day for the days they promise
Six of the courses are camps named for the days they take. Divided out, the minutes of video a day they need:
| Camp | Days | Video | A day | At 1.5× |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90 Günde AYT Mat | 90 | 119 h | 1 h 19 m | 53 m |
| 46 Günde AYT Kimya | 46 | 64 h | 1 h 23 m | 56 m |
| TYT Kimya, Ferrum | 22 | 29 h | 1 h 20 m | 53 m |
| 55 Günde TYT Fizik | 55 | 55 h | 1 h 0 m | 40 m |
| 88 Günde AYT Fizik | 88 | 75 h | 51 m | 34 m |
| 55 Günde AYT Kimya | 55 | 37 h | 41 m | 27 m |
Özcan Aykın's two physics camps and Celal Hoca's chemistry camp keep to about an hour a day or less, so their names hold. Mert Hoca's maths camp and both of Ferrum's chemistry camps need closer to an hour and twenty minutes, before the questions you solve yourself. Ferrum's two playlists also hold a revision camp each, Tekrar Soru Kampı: 11 videos and 17 hours in the AYT playlist, 5 videos and 7 hours in the TYT one, which is why their totals in the first table are longer than the camps.
Two routes, and what the list doesn't cover
One course per AYT subject for a sayısal score, with geometri:
| Route | Total | 1.5× |
|---|---|---|
| Lightest: Eyüp, Özcan, Celal, Aras, Eren | 244 h | 163 h |
| Heaviest: Mert, Özcan, Ferrum, Dr. Bio, Eren | 334 h | 222 h |
| TYT Türkçe, fizik, kimya | 114 h | 76 h |
| Eşit ağırlık AYT: Eyüp, Aker, Retro, Eren | 216 h | 144 h |
The choice that moves the total most is the maths course: Mert Hoca's 119 hours against Eyüp Boncuk's 77. Chemistry is next, Ferrum's 81 against Celal Hoca's 37. For eşit ağırlık, Mehmet Celal Özyıldız's history series is most of the route at 102 hours, because it covers TYT and AYT history in one.
Our list has no TYT matematik course yet, and no coğrafya, felsefe or din kültürü, so add those subjects' hours on top of these routes.
Hours a day until June
The lecture time a day for the lighter sayısal route with TYT Türkçe, fizik and kimya, 359 hours, watching every day:
| Time left | 1× | 1.5× | 2× |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | 58 m | 39 m | 29 m |
| 9 months | 1 h 18 m | 52 m | 39 m |
| 8 months | 1 h 28 m | 58 m | 44 m |
| 6 months | 1 h 57 m | 1 h 18 m | 58 m |
| 4 months | 2 h 56 m | 1 h 57 m | 1 h 28 m |
| 3 months | 3 h 55 m | 2 h 37 m | 1 h 57 m |
From the end of October, June is about eight months away: an hour a day at 1.5×. The heavier route, 448 hours, is a quarter more at every row. YKS is decided by the questions you solve and the denemeler you sit, so treat these as the floor and plan your practice on top. Maths at 2× is hard to follow; what each speed costs →.
Check the total covers every video
Some playlist length tools add up only the first 100 videos and stop without saying so. Nine of these fifteen playlists are longer than that, and on them the first 100 videos come to 366 hours of the real 606. Eyüp Boncuk's AYT Matematik loses the most: its first 100 videos are 25 hours of 77. Mert Hoca's camp shows 69 of 119, the Retro history series 60 of 102, and Özcan Aykın's AYT physics 46 of 75. If a total looks short for a playlist of more than 100 videos, here is how to check it.
Video counts mislead the other way too. 110 of Eyüp Boncuk's 273 videos are Shorts, an hour and a half together; his 163 lessons are 75 hours. Eren Kesim's geometri has 51 lessons among its 109 videos, and Aras Tuğcu's biology 67 among 98. Judge a course by its hours, not its video count.
Plan the one you choose
Paste a course's link on the home page, or click its name in the first table, and set your speed and daily minutes in the planner: it gives you a finish date and the videos for each day, and you can put the sessions in your calendar. Tick each video as you finish it and the time left updates; the course stays in your list on the home page, to pick up where you stopped. The exam date guide works back from the exam day, the KPSS guide measures the other big Turkish exam, and how long a free YouTube course is puts YKS next to 23 other subjects.

Why might a total differ from the playlist today?
These totals were measured on 29 October 2026. Most of these are 2027 series still being recorded, so they grow, and videos can go private. Each course's page here, and the YKS list, shows the total as it is now.
