Students who are getting education in our country are subject to various exams in order to be placed in a higher education. Since 2013-2014 academic year, Transition from Primary Education to Secondary Education (TEOG) exam has started to be applied for secondary education. TEOG exam questions are prepared in such a way to include teaching program achievements/learning outcomes published by the Ministry of National Education. In this study, the relations between the levels of the TEOG exam science and technology course questions and the 8th class achievements of the Science and Technology course curriculum in the renewed Bloom taxonomy were examined. In the research, data were subjected to descriptive analysis using the document analysis method. A total of 120 Science and Technology questions of the TEOG exams held between 2013 and 2016 were included in the study but 118 of the questions were analyzed since two of the questions were canceled. At the end of the research, it was determined that 58 questions from the Science and Technology course of Semester I included in the TEOG exam were the questions related to the 31 learning outcomes of the total of 34 outcomes included in the examination program. It was observed that 60 questions from the Science and Technology course of Semester II were related to the 42 learning outcomes of the total of 96 outcomes included in the program. In addition, it was also determined that there was no question in TEOG related to some of the course units.
