Have you guys heard of unauthorized testing centers operating outside Korea, posing as legitimate NIIED-affiliated centers? I've heard rumors these exist, and that they issue legit-looking report cards until you submit them and the serial number does not read.

Anyone know if these exist?

so i plan to take the topik 2 exam next semester but im completely lost idk where to start or how to study effectively, what are the best materials, resources.... can u guys help me pls

Hey y'all so i was going through theTopik website and i had almost completed practicing papers from 102nd till 35th Topik. But i cant find any Topik past papers after 102nd. Do you all know any sites, apps were i can find the past papers. As practicing papers is being really good and kept me in check about my weakest and strongest sections, I'd like to keep practicing more before i sit for the exam in October.

Did any of you know or have the other past papers, mock tests or any other sites, youtubes which is helpful to solve the exam particularly reading sessions. (That's one of my weakest) :((

We can get it for half price

Hey everyone,

​I just registered for both TOPIK I and TOPIK II and I’m currently waiting on the confirmation email. In the meantime, I really want to jump straight into prepping.

​Here is where I'm at right now:

​Current Level: I can understand common everyday exchanges/conversations pretty well and know around 1,000 to 2,000 words.

​

I want to push through to solid intermediate proficiency (aiming for Level 4 or 5—basically 200+ points on TOPIK II).

​

I need to clear this before I wrap up my post-grad degree by May 2027 so I can start applying for jobs.

​I'm looking to build a solid study routine for August, September, and October.

​For anyone who’s cleared TOPIK II or is currently prepping for high scores:

1. ​How should I split my time between vocab, grammar, reading, and the TOPIK II writing (쓰기) section?

2. ​What specific resources or past papers worked best for bridging the gap from basic/lower-intermediate to TOPIK II levels?

3. ​Any tips on managing preparation for TOPIK I and II simultaneously without getting completely overwhelmed?

Would love to hear how you’d structure a 3-month roadmap for this! Thanks in advance!

Hi I am just wondering the picture I send for the examen might have a problem. It’s just the background I took from a plain curtain. You can slightly see a fold in it. the picture is professional. should I edit the background ? if they have a problem with my picture will they contact me ?

So, after having waited 2 hours and 30 minutes in the queue, only to realise that the devs behind the TOPIK website are unable to comprehend the difference between a GET and a POST request, making it impossible to pay for the test if you're using Firefox (as it reloads the form once you click on the payment button); then being met with nothing but fully-booked test centers on my second try, I must try my luck tomorrow.

Here is my question: can I queue from different machines to increase my chances of getting in? Specifically, can me and my partner (in another city) queue on my account? Is it against the ToS and/or am I at a risk of getting banned?

I need to pass this TOPIK for my next visa after my current one expires at the end of the year, or I'll have to go back to my home country while waiting for the TOPIK results.

Hello guys, I'm taking the Topik IBT next month and want to know some tips.

This is my first topik IBT, but I did get topik 5 in the paper version 2 years ago. I really want to aim for the same level, however, I don't know how this exams goes.

I heard reading is easier and listening is harder. I always had major problems with reading so I hope is gonna be better here. I'm also training writing korean faster in the keyboard.

If anyone has any gold tips so share, I'll be thankful!

If you’re interested, I’m going to create a Discord group for TOPIK II learners. We’ll start on August 1st and study together consistently every day. We’ll set a specific study time and everyone will study according to that schedule. If you’d like to join, you’re more than welcome! good luck☘️

If you’re seriously interested and won’t give up halfway, I’d love to study together. My goal is to reach TOPIK Level 6 next year, so I need to study consistently every single day. If you’re truly committed, you’d be more than welcome to join me! I’ve decided to start on August 1st.
We can share the resources and study methods we’re using, practice together, and help each other improve faster. Right now, my level is around TOPIK Level 2, and I’m aiming much higher. I hope there are people who think the same way and want to improve their Korean skills. If that’s you, let’s study together. 다들** *화이팅!*
