Abstract
This study aims at determining what kind of images represent the practices of TEOG and LGS in the minds of students during the transition from secondary to high school. It attempts to reveal through comparisons conducted whether any metaphorical change occurred in the minds of students during the transition from TEOG to LGS. A data gathering technique through metaphors from qualitative research methods was used in gathering data in this study, carried out with the participation of 187 students in 2017 and 189 students in 2018 at three secondary schools in Samsun, Turkey. The data gathered was analysed using the steps of coding and sorting, compiling a sample metaphor image, category development, validity and reliability. It was observed that exam change did not cause any change concerning the metaphors used by students in defining the exam as a result of the comparison of metaphors regarding both the above mentioned exams.
