This complete guide covers everything you need to know, from exam levels and structure to study tips and resources! ----- The official TOPIK website is temporarily unavailable due to a major fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) data center. ----- ✅ Types of TOPIK exam 1️⃣ TOPIK PBT (Paper-Based Test) → The traditional TOPIK exam where you take the test on paper with a pencil. Most test-takers still use this format. 🏷️ TOPIK I : 40,000 KRW/TOPIK II : 55,000 KRW 2️⃣ TOPIK IBT (Internet-Based Test) → A newer digital version of TOPIK where you take the test on a computer instead of paper. It’s being expanded to make the exam more accessible. 🏷️ TOPIK I : 70,000 KRW/TOPIK II : 95,000 KRW 3️⃣ TOPIK 말하기 (Speaking Test) → A separate test that evaluates your spoken Korean skills. Unlike PBT/IBT, which focus on reading & listening (and writing in TOPIK II), this one directly measures how well you can speak Korean in real situations. 🏷️ 80,000 KRW ✅ Why people take TOPIK? 1️⃣ TOPIK - University admission & scholarships - Proof of Korean for employers when apply for jobs - Visa applications (varies by type of visa) - Personal reasons such as tracking learning progress 2️⃣ TOPIK Speaking - Extra points for GKS scholarship (Level 4+) - University admission & scholarships for overseas Koreans - Job applications & HR evaluation in Korean companies - Visa applications (varies by type of visa) ⏰ TOPIK Time Schedule ⚡️ TOPIK I : * Must be in the exam room by 9:20AM Listening/Reading 10:00 - 11:40AM ⚡️ TOPIK II : * Must be in the exam room by 12:20PM Listening/Writing 1:00-2.50PM Reading 3:20-4:30PM ⚡️ TOPIK Speaking * Must be in the exam room by 4:20PM Speaking 5:00-5:30PM 📅 2025 TOPIK Exam schedule : https://www.topik.go.kr/TWGUID/TWGUID0020.do 📌 TOPIK Exam location : https://www.topik.go.kr/TWGUID/TWGUID0040.do *Exams are at designated centers.
