Hello~ I am a writer from China.

In this article, I will introduce you to what topik is in detail.

Korea's TOPIK (topic) is a standardized test that evaluates foreigners' Korean proficiency. This test consists of 6 levels from beginner level 1 to advanced level 6, and consists of listening, reading, writing and speaking.

The TOPIK exam is generally conducted in April and October each year, and candidates can take the exam at domestic and overseas testing locations. Exam scores are valid for two years.

The TOPIK test is very important for those who wish to study, work or immigrate to Korea. This is because many universities and companies require foreign applicants to submit TOPIK scores. The TOPIK test is also a way to show an individual's Korean language ability, and it helps individuals improve their job competitiveness.

The TOPIK test is graded at level 6 and is as follows:

• TOPIK Level 1 (Beginner): You can understand and use basic Korean in everyday life, and the number of words is about 1,500.
• TOPIK Level 2 (Intermediate): You can understand and use simple Korean, and you can speak basic Korean necessary for daily life and communication, and the number of words is about 2,500.
• TOPIK Level 3 (Intermediate/Advanced): Able to understand and use Korean, which has a certain level of difficulty, and can have simple conversations such as work or study, and has about 4,000 vocabulary words.
• TOPIK Level 4 (Advanced): You can understand and use Korean of considerable difficulty, have business or academic conversations, and have about 6,000 vocabularies.
• TOPIK Level 5 (Advanced): Can understand and use very difficult Korean language, can communicate in specialized fields, and has about 8,000 vocabularies.
• TOPIK Level 6 (Excellent Level): You can understand and use Korean with a very high level of difficulty, can communicate in advanced specialized fields, and have more than 10,000 vocabularies.

Of course, the above specific word amount and ability are only references and cannot be defined.

The passing score for each level of the TOPIK exam is as follows:

• TOPIK Level 1: A total score of 200 points, the passing standard score is 100 points
• TOPIK Level 2: Total score out of 200, passing standard score is 120
