TOPIK Exam (한국어능력시험): Levels 1-6, Sections and a Prep Plan
The TOPIK exam grades your Korean on 6 levels through two tests, TOPIK I and TOPIK II. Beginners take TOPIK I (levels 1 and 2). Anyone aiming for university, a job or a visa in Korea usually needs TOPIK II, which covers levels 3 to 6 and is the only one with a writing section.
