Preparation classes and the official exam

A preparation course and the official TOPIK exam are separate.

Course enrolment does not register you for an exam or award an official TOPIK result. Confirm the exam type, registration arrangements, fees, date and venue with the current official test organiser.

For test formats and levels, see the official NIIED TOPIK overview.

Which TOPIK format are you preparing for?

TOPIK I tests listening and reading. TOPIK II tests listening, reading and writing.

NIIED also lists separate IBT and TOPIK Speaking formats. Vocabulary and grammar remain preparation topics, but a school course is not an official exam result.

Use the official test overview and the current Singapore exam announcement to confirm the format and dates. This course page does not confirm an exam place or registration deadline.

Using an official TOPIK result

An official TOPIK result can support language-proficiency requirements for study and job applications.

NIIED lists these among the uses of test results. Each university or employer decides its own requirements. A preparation course does not promise a particular score, admission or an employment outcome.

Use the published requirements of the organisation you are applying to when choosing your target level.

Choosing a preparation route

Choose your course with your current Korean level and intended exam in mind.

Before you book TOPIK preparation

Korean Explorer publishes a one-to-one TOPIK preparation course with eight two-hour sessions, physical or online, at $1,480 plus a $50 registration fee and $50 for materials.

That is sixteen taught hours in the published package. Ask which exam level and class arrangement fit your current study, and confirm lesson dates before enrolling.

Use the published fees and the school's enquiry controls to check the applicable terms. Official exam registration is a separate step.

Jun 샘 was very engaging throughout all the lessons which made the beginner course interesting. Great that the lessons are recorded to help with revision too as there may be quite a lot of vocabulary taught during the lessons.

Belinda NGoogle review, September 2026

I am grateful for Teacher Park's patience, dedication, and encouragement throughout my learning journey. Lessons are always engaging, well-structured, and tailored to students’ needs. Her clear explanations and positive attitude make learning enjoyable and effective. She inspires confidence and motivates me to continuously improve my Korean skills.
