I’m about to start 4th semester Korean at my school in a few weeks (this class is one hour 5 days a week) and our professor sent as an email for TOPIK…

I took TOPIK I last year in April (while in second semester Korean) and passed with a 147.

I’m wondering now if it’s worth taking maybe TOPIK II, but I’ve heard horror stories.

I don’t NEED it, but it would help motivate extra study, which would be helpful as my husband is Korean.

I’m also taking 12 other credits besides my Korean class (total of 16 credits) but they’re all literature based classes so it wouldn’t be TOO bad.

I dunno, what do we think? Is going from a 147 to studying for TOPIK II a year later worth it???

  • I think you should take TOPIK I again just to see your progress from 147 last year. TOPIK I 147 points means you were nowhere ready for TOPIK II. But you could also jump to TOPIK II if you want to see the test irl.
