What is TOPIK ?

Goal : Attain TOPIK Level 1 or 2

Practice with the questions from previous TOPIK tests Figure out what kinds of types of the questions you will have Take a note all types of the questions  you understand and find out how to approach and how to solve them on the actual TOPIK test Get used to the words from previous TOPIK tests (usually for level 1 or 2, you need to learn around 200 ~ 300 words.)

TOPIK is a kind of test too such as TOEFL and IELTS which means that you need learn a certain language and also should pratice a lot to gain skills to have a test as well. To get the level of TOPIK you want, Please remember the above-mentioned guide lines.

 

In the test of TOPIKⅠ

Type	Test	Time	Type of Test	Number of Q	Score	Total Score
TOPIKⅠ	1 session	Listening 40      minutes	Multiple          Choice	30	0 - 100	0 - 200
		Reading  60      minutes	Multiple          Choice	40	0 - 100

As you can see, there are total 70 questions in the test of TOPIKⅠ and the marks for each question are as below.

 

Listening :  3 marks for 20 questions , 4 marks for 10 questions = 100 marks

Reading :   2 marks for 20 questions, 3 marks for 20 questions =  100 marks

If you attain 80 marks or more=you are TOPIK level 1,If you attain 140 marks or more = you are TOPIK level 2     

Once you get TOPIK 1 at least, you can apply for D-4 student visa to study Korean Language at the schools in Korea with very higher chance to get a visa than those who do not have TOPIK level 1. Of course, even if you don't have TOPIK score, you can try to apply and may get a visa. For your information, now in 2020, Uzbekistan students must have TOPIK level 1 to apply for D-4 visa to study in Korea which means without TOPIK level 1, they can't apply for the visa by the policy of foreign students regulations while other students still can apply for D-4 without TOPIK level 1. We insist that all students from all over the world should have TOPIK to have a better chance to get D-4 visa.
