Why test your Korean?
Working for Korean companies
Global Korean employers, from tech to entertainment, value working Korean even in international offices, and a certificate is a fast way to show your level during hiring.
TOPIK exam preparation
Before registering for the official TOPIK exam, a free self-check tells you roughly which TOPIK level matches your current ability, saving you from an exam attempt at the wrong level.
Studying in South Korea
Korean university programs outside English-taught tracks generally require TOPIK proof, and an honest level check helps you plan how long your preparation will realistically take.

Common questions about the Korean test
The test adapts question difficulty to your answers, so it converges on your real CEFR level within 25 questions rather than giving a rough guess. It won't replace an official exam for visa or university purposes, but it gives an accurate read on where you currently stand in Korean.
No. You can start the test immediately without creating an account. Registration is only needed if you want to save your result history or purchase a certificate afterward.
The test itself is free. If you want an official PDF certificate with a verification QR code, it costs €8 (incl. EU VAT) and arrives by email within 30 seconds of payment.
Most people finish in about 25 minutes. The test has 25 adaptive questions covering grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension, and it ends as soon as it has pinpointed your level.
This test measures Korean ability against the CEFR framework, which loosely maps to TOPIK: A2-B1 corresponds to TOPIK I (levels 1-2), and B2-C1 corresponds to TOPIK II (levels 3-6). If a visa, job, or university application specifically asks for a TOPIK score, you'll still need to sit the official exam.
