안녕하세요. 토미입니다.
Today, I’d like to explain the final exam, the last and most important part of my beginner Korean lesson series.
If you have been learning Korean with my videos so far, you have watched about 50 of them including the preparatory courses.
Thank you so much for watching all of them.
To appreciate your effort, I prepared the final exam for you.
If you pass the final exam, you will receive a certificate of completion!
I prepared this gift for all of you who have been working so hard with me, so please pass the final exam and get your certificate!
Today, I will explain the way to take the final exam, the requirements to pass, and the certificate issuance, so if you go through this video and then take the final exam, I’m sure things will go smoothly.
I’ve put all the significant elements from my Korean course series into this final exam, so take on the challenge and become a Super master of Korean!
그럼 시작할게요！
Content of the Final Exam
This final exam is a miniature version of the Test of Proficiency in Korean, the TOPIK.
In this final exam, there are 20 listening questions and 20 reading questions.
Therefore, there are 3 features that make this test different from previous quiz I have given to you.
Feature 1 : Listening Test
The listening section is the biggest difference from the previous tests.
There are audio files embedded in each question, so please listen to the conversations and answer them.
However, to be clear, the speed of this audio is a little bit faster than the real TOPIK.
To be honest, I think the TOPIK’s audio is way too slow.
I set the speed about the same as the conversations between Tammy and Sangmin.
It is a little bit slower than a normal native conversation.
Feature 2 : Questions are in Korean
As same as the TOPIK, all the questions are in Korean.
The questions themselves are not that difficult, but if you are not used to them, reading a question itself will take you a long time.
You can stay calm and try to understand what you are being asked.
For example, a question would be like this.
다음을 듣고 물음에 답하십시오.
Listen to the following audio and answer the questions.
다음을 듣고 여자의 중심생각을 고르십시오.
Listen to the following audio and choose the main idea of the woman.
It will be a four-choice question, so please choose the one you think it’s correct.
The pattern of questions is already set, so once you get used to it, you will be able to solve them easily.
Feature 3 : Requirement to Pass
This test is an exam, so you may either pass or fail.
You will get to pass the test if you get 90% or more correct.
The score for each question is the same, so if you get 36 out of 40 questions correct, you will pass the test.
But even if you don’t get to pass the exam on your first try, you can try as many times as you like, so please keep trying until you pass.
Moreover, this exam has a 40-minute time limit.
Please measure 40 minutes by yourself.
During the exam, please try to solve the questions on your own without looking at textbooks or translating Korean sentences on the internet.
I cannot keep watching you during the test, so I hope you will work on it by yourself.
